Is bestiality legal in the UK?
No. Bestiality porn (often incorrectly spelt as beastiality porn) falls under extreme pornography law.

The law makes it illegal to possess images of people performing sexual acts on an animal, whether dead or alive. It is the task of the judge or jury to decide whether an image is pornographic.

Bestiality pornography can also fall within the Obscene Publications Act 1959. Guidance from the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) states that where an act shown in a publication is illegal, it is likely to be obscene.

You really think that large companies don't have legal teams reviewing content for legality? Seriously?

When you become the bear are you not the bear?

Would you feel comfortable shooting the druid in bear form, assuming it was legal to hunt bear and you felt comfortable shooting normal bears?

If not, the druid bear is fundamentally different than the normal bear.
If so, I don't think you have thought through what murder would mean in a fantasy world in which there are many sentient creatures other than humans.

You could report it to the CPS office to find out.

I suspect some already have.

Ever heard of the bystander effect?
Assuming is how it happens.

There's no way to tell the difference, the druid-bear would look lie any other bear. Sooooo, unless the bear is about to attack you, then you shouldn't shoot the bear. Technically.

Well, I'm in a lot of trouble for countless genocides in all the civs then....xD

That's child's play, I've committed genocides against full species on Stellaris, wiping them out completely, and even destroyed the universe.

I'm absolutely ♥♥♥♥♥♥ if videogames are real.

Not really, you don't play games allowing kill children for example, despite it's not reality and just a video game.

Sex is a much more hot topic for many laws than murder scene.

But is evoked and not shown sexuality is also forbidden by the law? It doesn't seem clear at all.

Moreover the case is rather ambiguous as it's a druid with animal apparence not an animal.

Good ol' Ultima with the dungeon rooms full of aggressive children.

Answer to title question. No. This game is not illegal in Europe. In matter of fact is was made in Europe. Belgium to be exact.

This is such a pointless topic when the Original poster forgets there are movies where dogs lick their male owners as part of a skit, I do believe American pie has a scene involving this. And surprise surprise these movies are not banned nor are they illegal.

Being that no actual scenes will be shown of this act, it is not illegal. Which the OP answered in his own text 'The law makes it illegal to possess images of people performing sexual acts on an animal, whether dead or alive. It is the task of the judge or jury to decide whether an image is pornographic.'

But it's the point, older, it disappeared because of laws, and no video game context arguing is working.

I'm pretty sure.... maybe 100% SURE, that murder, stealing, intimation, lying about a crime are also all illegal things, but you don't seem to care about those??? So why does such a small thing annoy you, LOL.

No, you are confusing act and representation of the act. Yeah violence is much less a hot topic than sex in a wide majority of countries and the exception is violence on children.

The point here is there's no representation at all, and most probably a false law topic. Could be some disguised dev/publisher trying capture mass media attention to get ultra rich and flee on some paradise island.
