PC - Fallout 3 - Save Fallout 3 Petition

Fallout 3 has been banned in Australia, but Aussie gamers aren't giving up without a fight. Gameplayer.com.au has launched a petition in a bid to change the minds of the Australian censors:

"This petition is deigned to show to the Attorney General that the Australian public - the people to whom he answers - disprove of the current classification system. In particular to highlight the lack of consistency and hypocrisy in its decision making…"

Fallout 3: Behind the AU Ban

PC News from N4G | Fallout 3

PC - Fallout 3 - Fallout 3: Behind the AU Ban

IGN Australia has received documents outlining the reasons behind the Fallout 3 ban, and warning all Australians from importing the game.

IGN writes:

"IGN AU has received the OFLC's report on its appraisal of Bethesda's anticipated RPG, Fallout 3. The two page document outlines the classification board's reasons for refusing to classify the game for Australians; specifically, the intrinsic use of 'Chems', which are thinly-disguised narcotics that can be used during the game for various stat-modifiers.

Also worth noting, for people considering a foreign copy of Fallout 3 on PC and PS3, we have some bad news; you may run into legal issues. The OFLC's guidelines on the importation of games restrict buyers from importing games with drug-related content:

"The Classification Board may advise that importation or exportation of items should not be allowed if they:
# in relation to a computer game – are unsuitable for a person under 18 to see or play; or
# promote, incite or instruct in matters of crime or violence; or
# promote or incite the misuse of a drug specified in Schedule 4.

Like importing any other banned game or film, you take the legal ramifications of the process into your own hands. Don't say we didn't warn you."

Here's Why Fallout 3 Was "Banned" In Australia

PC News from N4G | Fallout 3

PC - Fallout 3 - Here's Why Fallout 3 Was "Banned" In Australia

Kotaku reports: "Last night, we heard that Fallout 3 had been refused classification in Australia by the Office of Film & Literature Classification. Which is a lovely, legalese term for "banned". But just what was it about the game that caused the decision? What content was deemed too explicit to be given an MA15+ rating, the highest the OFLC are allowed to give? Turns out it had nothing to do with gore, or cannibalism. It was the drugs. Specifically, the game's "chems", or power-ups."

No toolset for Fallout 3 PC at launch - Too many "barriers" for console mods

PC - Fallout 3 - No toolset for Fallout 3 PC at launch - Too many "barriers" for console mods

Eurogamer reports that Bethesda has said there will "definitely" be no developer tools shipped with the PC version of Fallout 3.

But it remains a possibility for the future, unlike on consoles where there are too many "barriers" to overcome.

"It will definitely not be included on the disk," said Todd Howard in a fan interview on the Bethesda forum. "If and when one is available it will be a free download. I wish I could promise that an editor will be coming and when, but I can't.

Fallout 3 maturity hasn't been "tempered"

PC News from N4G | Fallout 3

PC - Fallout 3 - Fallout 3 maturity hasn't been

Bethesda power-dresser Todd Howard has promised that Fallout 3 will lose none of the "harshness and maturity" fans like about the series.

Howard said "slavery, children, drugs and addiction" will feature as themes, and that narcotics abuse will be a "key gameplay device". But child killing and nudity will not feature, as they were deemed to add nothing to the "flavour" of the game.
