Age of Conan's violence toned down for Germany

The community manager for Funcom's upcoming MMO,
Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures, has announced on the game's
official forums that players in Germany would encounter some alterations when it (
eventually) releases there. Though "full gore" will be featured, decapitation, dismemberment and "over-the-top" fatalities will be chopped out. The rest of Europe, on the other hand, won't suffer from censorship and will be able to enjoy decapitations to their hearts' content. Gore-loving Germans might want to look into obtaining the game from a neighboring country.
Originally, the community manager also reported that the US version would "not see nipples." It wasn't made clear at the time whether the negative nipple mandate applied only to female mammaries or if the men would also need to wear pasties, but a correction
posted later confirmed that the US would be free to see "breasts with nipples." Phew, crisis averted.
