Profanity in mods, [split by Baronius; Domi's request] Options

[Domi]

BG1 is a PG13 game, so the developper to start with did not intend it for children. There are characters in BG1 that say stuff like "Will one of you rugged adventurers give me a good, hard shag?"

The mods/mods components are sometimes rated as well (for example some of BG1NPC Romances are rated R for language or adult situations), while the mod itself is the same as the game, to avoid embaracing the selective players. It will be nice, if people used the rating system more vigorously.

I guess this is why most sci-fi/fantasy tv creates new profanities - frac, frell etc

And that is why the authors who have guts to carter to adult audience and have no pangs of guilt about it, read so real and have their own appreciative following. (Points to Martin).

In other words, do what you feel is right, just warn the consummer about it. I always make a point of explaining that Martin is gritty, uses the obscenities and does not draw curtains when his characters decided to make love, when I recommend his books. Yes, I love what he does. No, I don't expect everyone to agree with me that it is how it should be done.

Demons, orks etc. are not nice, and I have never said that low things don't exist, or that mods shouldn't add such. I just mean that adding rape isn't special at all, by 'low' I meant 'ordinary' as well; i.e. no big deal, not original, and something that just doesn't suit BG.
In films about medieval age, do you always see the "evil" side (or just the "enemy") raping helpless people all the time? It comes together with the war (in every age), but it is not so special that it should be represented, especially not in a D&D mod where evil player options can be much better, much more interesting than this.

Actually I was talking about a small TC and a TC where rape would be an approciate content.
Why?
It was something like Fallout Tactics, but with action set in semi renaissance world, a lot of dialogs and only one main area.
The PC was an ordinary fighter serving in The Brotherhood of Sword.
He/she had to complete tactical missions just like in FT.
It's worth mentioning that the Brotherhood was a ruthless organisation - for example the first mission was to punish a peasant that refuses to pay taxes by slaughtering him, his wife and his children.
Because PC had no choice but to serve, I thought that he/she should be allowed to do what soldiers do at war - rape, pillage and terrorize innocent civilians.
