However, to me, and it appears to other as well, this game falls short on implementing the adult humor and sex elements into the game. So what if you can sleep with dozens and dozens of women in the game? Just because it's sex or a cuss word doesn't mean it's mature. It comes across as nothing more than toilet humor, which is something I find detracts from the overall game experience.

I'm not "shocked" by any of this stuff, but childish toilet humor and excessive sex elements ruin the immersion factor. They are unneccesary and add nothing to the game.
Alright, I'm extending the question I asked earlier. Of which pop-culture references, childish toilet humor and excessive sex elements do you speak? I've yet to find some of that in the game. Perhaps I'm not far enough into it yet...

In actual fact you're mentioning a lot here but apart from the long loading times I see no facts but opinions. And with those I can't disagree more (except, perhaps, the game looking nice).

They stayed true to the novels which aren't an absolutely accurate depiction of "the period" in the first place. Hence I really don't see where this "a lot of anachronisms" is coming from.
