The original cover art was not an accurate depiction of the game.
People being offended was not the only objection to the original artwork, nor was it even the main objection (in forum discussions it wasn't even a significant objection). Who are these people who were offended by the original artwork, and yet were fine with the design of the female orcs, or a nature spirit you meet periodically wearing only a vine?
There were many, many changes to the game (including to the main plot, quests, skills, attributes, the magic system, etc), as part of the normal development process and as a result of feedback during and after the Kickstarter and Early Access periods. The only change anyone ever cried censorship over was the cover art (and the same group went into high gear over a request to have an option for a female character to wear something other than high heels).
