Why is Privateer 2 Rated M?

Just curious as to why you guys think this game got an M rating. I have not played the game but I've seen some of the cutscenes and it doesn't look like there is much that would lead to an M rating.
 
Some strong language in there, it's been a long time since I played but I remember turning the volume down low during the cutscenes so that my parents couldn't hear downstairs.
 
There was a violent cutscene or two, especially the very end. The ESRB was a good bit tamer in those days - M didn't mean a guaranteed sex/gore-fest.
 
Maybe it's because of the Louisa Philips side-story... More likely though, it has to do with a few rather offensive scenes, especially the Kronos stuff, and the general language.
 
There's a certain hologram in the game too that has... a thin veil of paint for clothes. Maybe that did it.
