I am considering buying South Park - Stick of Truth via Steam, but here in Austria only the "low violence" - (censored) - version is legally available.
From what I have researched on the net so far, they censored at least the swastikas, which would be ok for me. I was not able to clarify if anything else has been cut out? If more has been censored I will most likely not buy it. Can anyone tell me what was removed?
