, because we here in Austria are not allowed to buy it from Steam. I don´t know why, because the laws in my country in this issue, are not that strict what I know (but maybe they are? I don´t believe so).

If I remember right, they can't buy it in Germany.

In Austria, are you allowed to play "mature" (17 or older) games?

Yes, the laws are not that strict as in Germany. Many Germans are buying movies (I guess also games) in Austria. So, I never understood why they don´t allow it for Austria.

If you're allowed to buy games like Grand Theft Auto in your country, why can't you buy the bloodpack.

There a far worse things in GTA than S2's bloodpack, trust me.

Yeah, I agree. I can´t understand CA or Steam(?) for that decision. But they will have theire reasons. Maybe there are laws in Austria for this that I don´t know. Who knows. But well, there are more important things than blood. But it would be nice to have a bit more realism with that.

Eh? That doesn't make any sense at all - so you can chainsaw innocent civilians to bloody death in GTA, but you're not allowed to buy the Blood DLC?

Can you buy M2TW? That has blood. It's more realistic blood, it's not over-the-top where blood squirts out 3 feet.

Or one meter in your case.

Yes, that was an important part of the gameplay of MTW2. You could see how wounded an unit really was

But, if the blood part in Shogun2 is so unrealistic, than it doesn´t matter, if I can have it or not. Thats arcade style. Nothing for me.

It's not arcade. It's like that in Japanese movies and animes.

QFT

The blood pack was never intended to be realistic, it was created to add to the cinematic quality of the game; more specifically, to go with the cinematic style of those Japanese movies and animes.
