Wait, WHAT?! I bought this game a month ago and haven’t played it yet.

What do you mean ban? Why did they ban it?

Edit: Apprently its because of drug use and sex? Bullshit. GTA and plenty of other games have that. I bet it’s the communism they want to ban. Fucking red scare 2.0 can fuck off.

It’s probably specifically because there’s a real-world drug (Speed) that you can consume to get gameplay bonuses.

That’s why it’s Med-X in FO3, not Morphine, specifically to avoid getting hit by that.

Oh I’m not sure. I figured they were banning the whole thing. The og is still great if that’s all you have access to

I can think of no higher praise than being banned from a racist settler-colonialist shithole :aus-delenda-est:

In case anyone hasn’t read the Classification Board’s statement about it, you should see how absolutely pearl clenching and lame it is. I know people keep pointing to the drug and sex stuff in the game as part of the reason, but I genuinely believe a lot of the topics about capitalism/communism and liberal democracy played a role in their decision too after reading that statement. Specifically this part:

revolting or abhorrent phenomena in such a way that they offend against the stands of morality, decency and propriety generally accepted

seems like a long winded way to just say they didn’t like its politics.
