It's that new content everybody's been demanding. :)
Far too many people speak their minds without first verifying the quality of their source material.

Oh, if it's so I must get the english version. ;) I cannot miss such lovely messages, preventing them to be lost in translation, as usually.


Yes, even such small words can sound different after retold in different language, loosing theirs natural charm. And what in the game itself then.... :|

I think those were an explanation of the rating system used. If you look at the backside of the box (or rather, the leaflet stuck as to be the backend of the package), you'll only see the "violence" symbol.

But DRUGS? What, the elves use ganja as inspiration for their hippie songs? Does one of the little teen demons get addicted to pain killers, but in the proces he and his friend learn an important lesson about life? Do Agrael an Isabel have a drug induced orgy ending in the conception of the Dark Messiah? Do Necromancers smoke? Are the Dark Elves sniffing glue? Do the Academy mages run a drug lab? So many questions.

I can only guess that the Drucgs is in reference to the Academy hero's hookah on the elephant during combat.
