Zungre: I've seen a lot of the violence in the game, but what are the sexual aspects of Age of Conan? Can you get married or do you just go around getting freaky.
Tharaldsen: Yeah you can, of course you can get married. We haven't put a system to it, but there is no sexual aspect to the game.
Zungre: There is none?
Tharaldsen: No, there is no sexual aspect to the game. And that's the thing. And a lot of people will say (Conan, it's a mature game.) You can get undressed, you know, you can see your nipples. You can be completely naked. And there are certain quests, like you speak to a brothel mama, you rescue a prostitute, stuff like that, but you can't actually have sex in the game, and we've been very careful in avoiding any of that.
When we [originally] said there would be no nipples in the US, there was, like, an uproar. (What?! No nipples in the US! It's a major crisis!) We had, like, comics being made about it and thousands of forum posts.
And there was a leak that we were reportedly having mini sex games like in God of War in the game and the Internet went crazy. (Whoa, will this mean rape?) and will this mean this and that. People just went off and we've never had it.
