Instead of the unedited version of Fallout 3 that was planned to be released, Bethesda has decided to release the edited version of Fallout 3 which was intially for Australia who banned the game a few months ago.

It's just the drug references right? They don't plan on taking away anything from the gameplay such as those brutal headshots or nuclear explosions.

I hope not. I don't know whats the problem though. Bioshock had a similiar gameplay mechanic and it got a way with it with no problems. Just because a foolish government like australia's has a problem with the game doesn't mean that the other countries that don't have a problem with it should be punished by giving us a game with less violence than it originally had.

I agree. With all the stage demos already shown it would be easy to change a few lines in the script to make the Australian government happy so it's safe to say nothing else is getting taken out. I'll still get it regardless of what goes down.

same here unless it turns out to be a huge letdown like Too human. I highly doubt it though especially since its Bethesda who created two of my favorite RPG's of all time; Oblivion and Morrowind.

Too Human was a good game, if you expected it to be on Fallout 3's level then you hyped it too much to yourself.

Fallout 3 is going to be an awesome game, nothing short of them taking out guns completely could stop me from buying it.

From what I understand, it seems that all they edited (that we know) was the drug references and renamed them. Honestly, that is not a big concern for me if that is all they did.

Still buying this, absolutely. They have just changed some names, that is all. Shame it happen, but is only minor thing as far as I am concerned. Kudos to Bethesda for giving EVERYONE the same game too.

Ah, all it is is that they've changed the names of the in-game drugs. They haven't taken anything out.

Not even the references, more the names of the narcotics, they didn't like the use of recognisable drugs (whether it be by referring to Heroin or Anadin) so they're just changing the names... odd that the Aussie's didn't have a problem with being able to dismember people with a shotgun, just the drug names.

I think that Bethesda is improving the franchise, as it was a game series that was in need of a change and what Bethesda is doing so far is great. As far as the names of the in-game drugs being changed who cares as it doesn't affect gameplay. I know that can't wait to get and to play Fallout 3.

It sounds like all they did was take out the real life drug references... and that isn't the edited version I was looking for. Still not on my radar anymore.

LMAO even the guy that wrote the article doesn't seem to get it. If you read it, and ignore all his speculation, concentrating on just what the Bethesda guy said, you can see the ONLY difference is the names of the drugs. They could call the drugs "Pixie Dust" and "Rainbow Kitten Cuddly Fuzz" for all I care... wont change the gameplay.

If anyone lets this change their mind on buying the game, then IMO, they're crazy.

I'm not a big fan of cencorship on any level. But in all reality, if all theyre doing is changing 'Vicodin' to 'Magic pain reliever' or 'Ritalin' to 'Killer Fairy Dust' I think I'll be ok. And from what I took from the article, thats all theyre gunna do.
