Do you recall how smutty and offensive it was with all those scenes depicting sodomy, rape and full on sex between aliens and humans alike?

Shockingly, all of the accusations turned out to be completely false: the most daring thing the game's so-called 'romances' did, being to show a bit of skin in scenes mild enough, even a prude wouldn't blink twice.
