Yes, UncleBourbon, I think you have made an apt analysis of the situation. I live in Sweden, and here sex is considered decidedly less repulsive than violence for some reason I think the undermining of the word "mature" is confusing at best, among other things for the ratings reasons you mention, and rather sad at worst. I think maturity (in the non-rating sense of the word) is something to admire and strive for ... in moderation

How is it that in the entertainment industry, the word "mature" has come to mean sex scenes, violence and the oh so dreaded "bad" language? Is it an American thing? Where I live, a mature work of art is one of vision, wisdom, depth and insight, which by the way is something I have come to expect, to a lesser or greater degree, from the writing in Obsidian's games. Along with the sex, violence and "bad" language, of course

The game balance in Arcanum is way off, unfortunately, and there are a few bugs, but when it came out I got obsessed with it just the same, because of the story, the depth, the scope and most of all the amazingly realized world. I've played it more times than I remember, and I think MCA has been missing out all hese years

Fallout 2. If there were three more I could save from the rpg apocalypse, they would be Arcanum, Planescape: Torment and Fallout: New Vegas.
