Hi Possum,
Thanks for speaking up about the game, and specifically about the subject of sex & drugs. My original design was to include that stuff. It really presented some great options for what could happen in the game as a result of doing those things. Trust me, I didn't exclude them because of any pressure from anyone, including Shrapnel Games. I simply didn't add them because the game ended up with so many other features that I felt like it would be gratuitous. Also, I know that a lot of people are interested in music that have no interest in that stuff. Obviously, in the real world sex & drugs are intertwined with the music scene, but they aren't "required" in order to make good music.
Those are the reasons they aren't in the game. However, I like seeing feedback like yours, because if a lot of people feel like it's a critical missing element, I'll know exactly what to add in the sequel.
P.S. Thanks for ordering it!
Oh yeah, the game is very moddable.
