Fluff piece on Fallout 3

it's disappointing what Fallout 3 is turning into: Oblivion with guns. They even are removing all the adult themes from the series, like child-killing, prostitution, drug addiction, etc... Bethesda is ruining another series, again.

I can understand the removal of child killing and that doesn't bother me much. That's a giant public scandal just waiting to happen and would get the game banned across much of Europe. But if they remove prostitution, drug addiction, and all the other crazy shit the Fallout world allowed you to do, the game is going to suck. It's that simple.

Not If, Todd Howard already confirmed that there will be no prostitution, sex themes, drug addiction, and the rest. Either Bethesda fears the rating boards, or they are trying to push Fallout 3 to Teen-Rated, just like what happened with Oblivion. They said that there only would be something about cannibalism, but it's probably just a line some NPC, or a quest atmost.

And even if the game would include child-killing, It would never get banned in Europe, except maybe Germany. The child-killing in Fallout 1&2 weren't mindless, if you did kill a child you would get shunned from society and be permanently viewed as an outcast. It's IMO softer than the mindless human mass murder from Halo 3, UT3, GTA IV, etc.
