Fallout 3 Censored For Japan News
Changes to the Megaton quest stop players from detonating a nuclear weapon at the heart of the city...
By Gwynne DixonPosted: 11/11/2008
The Japanese arm of Bethesda has published a list of changes to the Japanese version of Fallout 3 from the European and North American releases. Included in the list is the eradication of the NPC Mr. Burke, thereby stopping players from detonating the nuclear bomb in Megaton during The Power of the Atom quest.
Other areas of censorship include Bethesda's decision to pull an unnamed weapon from the game (very possibly the Fat Man Tactical Nuclear Catapult), as well as some cleaning up of the more gorey elements in the Western release.
This is not the first time Bethesda has had to censor Fallout 3. In order to please the Australian ratings board Bethesda pulled drug references from the game's release in the territory, although we find these latest Japanese changes more understandable to be honest.
Fallout 3 is due for release in Japan at the beginning of next month.

I did all the side missions on 1 account. Well I finished superhuman gambit before I could've started getting the ant queen with the terrible shotgun before she got in the cave. But yeah Fallout is an amazing game can't wait for this DLC I'm a PS3 owner.
The following statement is true. The previous statement was false.

fallout 3 is probably the best game ever made. If they make another fallout I will passout. the only thing they should improve on is the enemy count in the free world.
