Is this version still censored in Germany? the origin version was, so I'm just curious.
also, any tips to uncensor the german version?

It seems to help to switch to the english version. As an alternative, there are uncut patches for both the base game and the addon.

Violence.

Germany had a tendency to censor violence in the 90s and the early 2000s. For example in many C&C games humans were replaced with cyborgs and blood was replaced with oil.

In Counterstrike Source (I believe) players surrendered and lied down with hands above their hands after getting awped to the face.

Doom (the 1993 one) was completely banned from sale for being too violent until 2011.

Fallout 3 and NV had no gibs in the original german releases.

It was a very strange time but luckily they stopped being weird about it for most cases.

It is the english version by default for me.

The game was rated 16+ before but was put on the Index after that - a prodecure which isn't possible anymore. At this time, an already rated game could still be put on that list. This has been changed later.
