Risen Banned Down Under

Risen is the latest game to run afoul of Australia's content rating system, as Piranha Bytes upcoming RPG has been refused classification, and cannot be sold in Australia. Details are found on Refused-Classification.com and R18+ (thanks GamePolitics). Word is: "During the course of the game, players can interact with prostitutes (referred to as 'whores' in the game) at a local brothel. Players can trigger a lengthy dialogue to engage in their services; sexual activity is strongly implied, but never depicted on screen. Many of the characters in the game smoke a fictional drug called 'brugleweed.' The 'wood reefer' plant is described as having a mild relaxing effect on users, and can be bought, sold, and used by players. Some profanity (e.g., “f*ck” and “sh*t”) can be heard in the dialogue." There's no word yet on whether the game's content will be altered to meet the censors' approval.
