"But would it be possible for there to be some sort of option for the blood and language."
Ahaha ha aha...ha. No.
To bring back a phrase that was prevalent in the pre-release Skyrim forums, "You don't need toggles for everything" (or something to that effect, it's been a few years)
Point is, you just can't just ask for something to have a toggle because you don't like it.
It doesn't make any sense for the Fallout series, and not enough people care about it for it to be toggle-worthy. Your best bet is mods mate.
Wants to shoot and explode people in a violent post-apocalypse but is afraid of blood and swearing...riiiight...
I cuss a lot in this world, I'll be damned if I can't do it in the next!
Ned Flanders mod. All the raiders run around yelling things like "Darn! Diddly darn!" and "Gosh darn it!"
I just wanted to edit this out, mostly so my little brother could sit with me while I play, but also because I simply don't like it. Thanks for not mocking me, like most everyone else here .
This game MUST be 18+. There's nothing to talk about.
That's fine by me, but I was just talking about an option. I'm not sure why lots of people are raging at me.
Fallout can't be Fallout without blood. I don't know. It just… can't? I can understand if you don't like it, and I promise I'm not trying to be offensive in the slightest. It is a sweet thing to play games with your little brother. I don't know his age, and you don't have to tell us, but he may be alright watching depending on how old he is, as long as he isn't playing it. The story behind Fallout is violent (War never changes, vault safety is a lie and manipulation, etc), and there is just no creative, logical way of covering it up. That being said, like everyone else pointed out, there may be a mod available for Xbox One or PC. We won't know until later.
Well, there you go.
One has to question if it is the responsibility of the developers to accommodate minors in a game of mature content.
Thanks for responding. Love your profile picture by the way. I completely agree with you about no way to cover it up, but dismemberment and exploding heads might be a bit much for an eight-year-old.
Because you're asking for an option to toggle blood and foul language in a violent and foul video game universe. Nothing wrong with more options for the player to play the game the way they desire, but it seems rather silly to ask for such an option for a mature game that excels at a dark tone. I doubt it's something Bethesda would ever consider it, even more so considering Todd Howard loves that kind of stuff in Fallout.
You'll likely have to wait for a mod, or simply play less mature games.
I suggest you play the game when your brother has gone to bed, it would be far too much for an 8 yo. A toggle has been asked for in previous games and not implemented, choose a less violent game to play with your little brother.
I'm genuinely gobsmacked that you would prefer a cleaner version. I'm not against it--I just... I honestly did not see that coming.
I wouldn't expect this as a toggle option, and I do think it would be asking too much. But I'm sure it could be modded. A few bleeps here, a few bleeps there, and voila! Clean version. Of course, the context and tone of the game is still there. Truth is, after all that is done, you still have a game that you probably shouldn't play in front of kids.
Yeah... I understand. Disappointing to be sure, but ok. Thanks for replying, everyone.
Hate blood and violence? Buy the German version of the game! It's perfect for small children with fowl mouths and a thrist to kill! But don't want blood staining their walls.
New Vegas was uncensored I hope Bethesda do the same for FO4 too.
