Here's another section of the FAQ where I talk about things I have no

business talking about. Normally I'm not too fond of using mods on
games.. except in Baldur's Gate 2, where numerous mods exist to enhance
the gameplay experience by correcting bugs. Yes, fixing broken things
and making the game more enjoyable is just about the only reason I can
see for using mods. Unfortunately, I happen to be an American, which
means my government wants to protect me by dictating what I should-and
should not-be exposed to. For example, I was legally able to join the
military three years before I could legally get drunk enough to induce
me to wish to do so. Because drinking is dangerous, and getting shot at
in a desert isn't quite so bad. In the face of this crazy logic, my
games come pre-censored, and even though I could go to any public movie
theatre and pay to see nudity in nearly any R-rated movie, some digital
nipples might cause my eyeballs to explode. I'm a 27 year-old adult
male, certainly old enough to buy an M-rated game. When I found out that
the Witcher had been censored, it became my immediate goal to uncensor
it. No, I don't need nudie patches in games to make them worth playing,
but the sheer fact that it was done in the first place I found
insulting. After all, thousands of gamers in other places were able to
withstand the mind-blowing shock of playing the Witcher uncensored, why
couldn't I? If you're of appropriate age, maturity, and inclination,
I suggest you find a censorship fix for this game. It just uncensors
the sex cards and a few skins (like for Morenn and some monsters.) Yeah,
it's not a big deal, and I don't see why it was censored in the first
place. It's not like there wasn't nudity in the God of War games, which
was more widely distributed on a 'family-friendly' console!

Of course, I'm not in the habit of providing links unless I'm getting
paid for it.. and despite my indignant front, I'd like to keep posting
FAQs on GameFAQs, which might look down upon me putting links to
censorship fixes in my FAQs. If I found it, you can find it. It's out
there. If you bought a mature-rated fantasy RPG, and you want to play
a mature-rated fantasy RPG, and don't like censorship being dictated
to you, by all means. Maybe by the time I'm officially a dirty old man
we Americans will be more worried about violence than nipples.. or
better still, we'll realize that the same people who are influenced by
fantasy to commit crimes in reality will do so regardless of ESRB
ratings or censorship. After all, books have inspired people to kill
each other far more conspicuously and in greater numbers than any
video game ever will, and even failing that, we can't censor
imaginations.

As a later note, kudos to CDProjekt on the Witcher 2-there is no

censorship of any kind on either the original PC release, or the
Enhanced Editions for both the Xbox 360 and the PC.

DRM {INT019}
o======================================================================o
And since I already blew all objectivity out the window earlier when I
decided to whine about localization, here's another sample of my
unnecessary political ranting about another issue that brings my piss to
a boil in the world of PC gaming. That's right, that scourge called DRM.
Apparently since I wish to buy the retail version of the game off a
store shelf, (I'm a materialist, sue me) I'm some sort of criminal and
can't be trusted to make such commercial transactions without having
the internet to check that I'm not pirating my games. Ironically enough,
this has made it so that the only way I can play games I would gladly
pay for is through piracy. However, since I don't have any real way to
download such immense files, and since I don't care to play a game with
the inherent instability piracy brings, my only recourse is to wait
until the day when I have the internet so I can validate the mindless,
spineless, moronic, authoritative, consumer-unfriendly DRM that plagues
all PC games.. or to just buy the game when it comes out on a console..
which will likely be my response for the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and
the Witcher 2. Oh yeah, and the.. uh.. morality involved.. it just
makes me cry to think of such a heinous crime being commited by
hardened digital pirates.. Honestly, however, who came up with this
limp-dicked idea? Anybody pirating the game has been thwarting CD-Keys,
codes, and other primitive forms of copy protection for years. Does
anybody think that forcing honest gamers to validate their copies has
affected a single pirate one bit? No, it hasn't. If anything, this
asinine restriction has just caused grief for honest gamers like myself.
Whether it's restricting the number of computers-that you own-upon
which you can install a game-that you own-or if it's some spyware
installed upon your computer that actually makes the game unplayable
for honest consumers unless you download a patch (something the Witcher
itself is conspicuously guilty of on Windows 7) or whether it requires
online security checks and hence makes the game unplayable for folks
without an internet connection, I can only imagine that all modern DRM
has done for the PC gaming world is to alienate consumers and force
otherwise eager, paying gamers to pirate games. The solution? There
really isn't one, I'm just ranting about this because I'm indignant.
And if you think that DRM is the scourge of PC gaming, or if you're
just irate about the fact that you're being monitored because you were
actually an honest consumer and bought the game, then you're in good
company.

Again, I have to give kudos to CDProjekt on the Witcher 2, as they have

removed their DRM for the PC version of the Witcher 2. This is one of
the reasons I purchased the Enchanced Edition of the Witcher 2 for both
the Xbox 360 and the PC, making it the first PC game I've purchased
since Fallout 3 GOTY. If you hate DRM half as much as I do, it's worth
noting that we vote with our wallets, and buying the Witcher 2 is a
great (if not the only meaningful) way to voice your support of
CDProjekt-who has flown in the face of convention and sided with the
consumer (that's you and I). Plus, you get a pretty neat RPG out of it,
so what have you go to lose?
