Blood: When you shoot (with arrows) or hit (with fists/swords) an enemy, blood splatters/puffs in large droplets, but in light amounts. You can cut enemies' heads off with sharp weapons, which will result in a thin jet of blood spurting from what remains of their neck. Enemies can also be decapitated with a fully charged arrow shot (which only works if you haven't been detected by the enemy), and has the same effect explained above. Sometimes an enemy will fall to the floor and be stunned for a short time, which means you can then use your weapon to finish them off, by stabbing straight down into their middle, resulting in some light blood splatter. Blood lightly splatters onto floors, but it doesn't stain clothing or linger. Bodies do linger, but disappear in under a minute. There are also some dead, bloodied bodies and skeletons scattered throughout the game. There is no option to disable/turn off blood in this game.

Specific scenes of blood:

• A brief scene near the very beginning of the game shows a bandit shoot a villager with an arrow in the back, resulting in a moderate amount of blood spurting from his back, as he falls dead to the floor.
• In an early cutscene, a storybook-like illustration shows the main character's sister being carried off by a group of bandits, and holding her arms over her eyes, which appear to be bleeding (as the head bandit cut them out, although you don't see this).
• After the main character's village is destroyed, and his family captured (explained in violence), you see him briefly throw up (you see the thick greenish stream come from his mouth) from shock, stress, and disgust (as there are also several dead and bloodied bodies scattered about).
• While escorting a band of merchants through a dark wood, you come across a balverine (pretty much a werewolf) eating on a dead and bloodied (once merchant) human body. There is blood around the balverine's mouth, and you do see it eating at the body, but the scene is extremely brief, and it's more like the balverine is "air biting" meaning there is more gesturing than actual detail.
• A brief scene near the end of the game shows the main villain slit a womans throat, resulting in some light blood splatter from her neck, with you also hearing the effect.

Strong language: Although there's enough language to mention, there isn't near enough to consider it "Strong Language." There are 8 uses of d**n, 1 use of h**l, and 3 uses of b****rd. Beyond this, your character eventually gains the optional ability to "insult" with the game's expressions system, and if used, he'll say "S**t!". You can use this expression as many times as you want, which makes the game have possibly unlimited uses of the word s**t.

Violence: The overall presentation of the story has a similar feel to a Grimm's fairytale (with a fair bit of Monty Python style infused humor) and is about a young boy and his family, whom live in a small village. While celebrating his big sister's birthday, a group of evil bandits come into the village and start slaughtering everyone in sight. The little boy hides from the chaos, as the bandits continue to ransack, murder, and set fire to the village. After they've left, a hero from what he (the hero) calls the "Hero's Guild" appears, and tells you that the bandits weren't there for the villagers, but for your family, more specifically you, your sister, and mother. They killed the father quickly, tortured the mother and sister, bound them up, and carried them away. He then tells you he's here to rescue you and that you'll receive training at the guild, in order for you to ultimately avenge your family.

You start out as a small boy (you can't pick your gender) in your village, and are then approached by your father, who tells you if you do a few good deeds around the village, he'll reward you with money so you can buy your sister a present (because it's her birthday). Right from the beginning, you have the ability to manually target anyone in the village and punch them with your fists (including little girls, which will earn you bad points). There is no advantage to this, because if you commit too many bad deeds you won't earn enough money to buy your sister a present, which in turn won't allow you to get to the main game. But, it still gives you the option to be bad, and in this early area of the game there are quests like letting the bully beat up the little kid, or protect the kid and beat the bully up; guard a man's supplies while he's away, or bash the crates and steal what's inside while he's gone; expose a cheating man to his wife, or take his bribe money to keep quiet. After you've completed your childhood, you arrive at the Hero's Guild and start your training. After completing your training, you start the real game...
