"No Dead Babies" Option, Please

Hang on, there's dead babies? I played the starting area three times at least. Twice on one character then once on another and never noticed anything like that. I don't really feel it's apparent, or obvious enough that a child would even realize what it was supposed to be.

PoE was always supposed to be a dark game, you don't see people renting an R rated movie then complaining that there's violence in it or gruesome scenes. If it's rated that way it's because it's not for children and it's YOUR responsibility to make sure your children don't see it. Not the developers.

I think a toggle option is too restrictive. There should be a slider option for the degree of dead baby I wish to experience in this game.

There's nothing wrong with having another toggle or slider for graphics options. People could choose whether they personally see the gore, so wouldn't everyone win if gore was option?

Clearly a dead baby...if that's a doll I'd like to see the kid carrying it around...

POE is dark as hell too, very mature, none of the consolized dumbed-down tripe that developers/publishers are pushing out the doors these days.

No because it's money, development time and resources that could have been better spent on making the game more fun than catering to every casual whim from a demographic the game was not designed for.

I kinda agree, but (if I had a kid), I wouldnt let her/him play games of this type. Just my opinion.

God, I hope people don't water down this game. It's not gore for gore's sake as it is right now, but at the same time, it's a game for adults.

Nine-year-olds should not be playing this game, because of the content and also because they'd be just on the edge of really understanding it. Good parenting = problem solved. :)

Indeed. There are much more important things to be done than creating options for turning off all the things that make this game the adult-oriented dark ARPG that it is.

If I set the Dead Baby Slider (Sounds like a 90's punk band) to 50% will there only be half a Dead baby?!? inquiring minds want to know! Bottom half or top half? These are serious questions the devs need to answer!

Stop all work on the game GGG, we need sliders for spiders, blood and babies!

Right, I mean just because the few can't take it. Small detail to worry about. Don't ruin something that isn't. Should of known what game you were getting into to be honest.
