I never used drugs in the orriginal fallout games besides Jet. I thought using my skills would be better then using game drugs besides I don’t want an addiction and end up spending over 500 coins just for jet to satisfy my addiction.

It all makes sense.
Germans should not see swastikas because they may become nazis again instantly and when the Australians read the names of drugs they could become a colony of chaingangs again.
It is not censorship, it is protecting the people from harm. Really,

If this wasn’t coming out on the consoles Bethesda could’ve just accepted the ban in Australia and make the uncut game available online.

Which doesn’t excuse Australia from seemingly being governed by halfwitted 19th Century farmhands, of course.

I believe the only proper course of action in response to this is for us all to go to thomascooke.com and rate package holidays to Australia with 1 star! >:(

Drugs are on the contrary very useful (yes I saw the smiley). As long as they are distributed through the black market exclusively they are being made into the problem as we know it.

Nature has a solution for everything, a pity that there is no such thing as a real life time compression…

Two things about the OFLC: one, nobody knows why the word “literature” is in its name, since we don’t have a rating system for books. Two, they don’t technically decide to refuse classifications – they have a checklist, established by law, on what merits what classification. Their opinion should not come into it, just like a policeman who supports drug legalisation still has to arrest crack users. It really is entirely South Australian Attorney General Michael Atkinson’s fault.

He is a strong supporter of internet-censorship,[1] and is solely responsible for maintaining Australia’s status as the only developed democracy without an “Adults Only” rating for video games, with the consequence that games with content unsuitable for children are also banned for use by adults,[2][3] despite overwhelming demand for such a rating.

“Long live the Netherlands, where drugs and sex are part of our cultural identity.”

You lucky bastards. I would have moved to Amsterdam a long time ago if it was not so damn close to the sea and the Netherlands in general below sea level.

“GB – no violence caused by female characters (they censored Patricias rage in True Romance)”
Whu?

I imported the movie from GB, a nice VHS edition with a tshirt that said: “true romance, sex, drugs and gratitious violence.” It turned out to be cut.
A mafia killer tortures Alabama (portrayed by Patricia Arquette) and when she finally gets the upper hand she goes berzerk and beats him to a pulp. This pulping of the torturer was cut to my surprise and disappointment. From then until eternity I like to believe that the British censors are afraid of violent females. The reasons for this might be found in the psychocomplex of thatcherism.
Relax, the Brits remain to be among my favourite drinking buddies in Europe. Cheers mate.
