But I think, you are not seeing the whole picture - granted, that topic of
SA
is very easily triggering, but so can be the scene how you get Us or the whole of Reithwin for different reasons.
Plain violence or body horror can be as much a trigger as SA


@ Fylimar: You're very much predictable, that's all. I will not discuss with you, what different people see as triggering or not. I made my statement, what the official content warning is. If you think the Harleep scene is


(sensitive topic)
a depiction of rape or other sexual violent acts


which needs a content warning, you are free to let it reviewed by experts.

I kindly ask you *all*, also for the sake of a good together in the community, not to disparage the patch 6 scene in this thread, which caused to a lot of PTSD and depressions. It is inappropiate to compare it to scenes like the Abdirak scene. Thanks.

This.

To add to Fylimar for the comparision: "violence"

Yes, and this game has a content warning for "violence" for that very reason in their rating. But there are also in-game mechanics that prevent people from coming across some violent depictions unprepared, for example the giving answers or also for some scenes being more or less offscreen. The "Us" scene you mentioned, you are interacting with Us beforehand and can leave, the player is prepared what will happen if you choose the answer to remove it, he is asking you to do this. The answers are explaining, what is going to happen and you can leave the scene in every answer. This "Us" scene was in my opinion very well and carefully done by the Larian Team responsible for that scene, so *thumbs up*
