Fallout 3 Revision To Affect All Regions
Fallout 3 faced a problem from down under when the Australian Office of Film and Literature Classification refused to give the game a rating, effectively banning it from being sold. Bethesda is solving the problem by eliminating the cause: morphine. The real-life drug was present in the game prior to the change and has now been replaced by a fictional one. Bethesda took things one step further and removed it from all versions of the game, not just the Australian release. Here’s what Bethesda’s Pete Hines had to say:
Hines brings up this fact because he feels that a “misconception” has been perpetuated by the media surrounding this issue. He wants to make sure that consumers realize that every version of Fallout 3 is the same. Also, to make sure that every region has the same experience, Hines and his team at Bethesda developed a new universal language. This language, while new and relatively uncharted, is easily learned in minutes if you buy their software.
So we’ll all be getting the same version. I just hope that this is the last adjustment that will be made to the game in order to please everybody’s regulations. I’m not looking forward to a sanitized gaming experience.
