They should have know before hand that cows are sacred in India (It's common knowledge) and changed the animal into something else like a lamb.

lawwlllllercation. I really dont think most Indian people would even care, but I suppose the few loadspoken-cant-mind-their-own business ones would give Fallout 3 some pretty bad PR, in India anyway.

Which brings up an interesting question. If you were Hindu, would you blaspheme to play Fallout 3?

I would.

it's always been my opinion that the most questionable part of Fallout series has been the rampant cow-killing. Ignore the slavery, child-killing, drug abuse, and prostitution.

Political correctness run rampant

ROFL. This is fallout! If fallout had to remove every single offensive reference in the game the game wouldn't have much meat to its bones.

That's pretty weak, but at least they are keeping it to India and not going for a worldwide ban or anything.

I guess it's like the LBP delay. Most Hindus really won't care, but some will.

I think it was a very good move from microsoft, to avoid a LBP-like shitstorm. You never know what can offend people and what offended people can do nowadays.

Isn't India's game market tiny any way?
