I'm pretty sure the M comes not just from the violence-in-combat, but also from the piles-o-corpses-and-skeletons set decoration, cannibals, and "mature themes" (i.e, log entries describing living through the bombing and then dealing with everyone around you dying of rad sickness).

And that's ignoring the silly stuff that the rating people would be considering, like "omg, drugs" or "you can drink and get drunk!".

You're right.

From Fallout 3's rating: Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, sixual Themes, Strong Language, Use of Drugs

NO, big NO. A T rating game would ruined any chance of this game being good due to compromises that you would have to make. Fallout is Fallout, play something else if you want T rating. It may come off as mean but it is the truth.

No. There's no point. My brother pre-ordered Fallout 3 for me when I was 15. Just let kids be kids and let their older sibling, cool uncle, or permissive parent get the game.

This.

No thank you.It's a mature gaming world and hypothetically speaking an actual post-apocalyptic world would be as such.

Hmm hopefully Australia will get an R18+ rating no need to cut content this time unless they have to rename certain items to Australian standards again...(Med-x was originally called morphine but it breached some classification rules and would've been banned so yes instead of med-x we could've had morphine).

Don't care either way, since it is up to the game developer to decide what content they want to put in.

edit: Although I'd really prefer my voiced character didn't swear.

Kids are going to play it whether it is rated T or rated M. The rating only restricts who can buy it, not play it.

Same here, I think a post apocalyptic game would struggle with a T rating.

My kids are on the verge of their teen years. We all play FO:3/NV and Skyrim. We all browse the same mods, get the same advlt oriented textures, etc, because their mother and I aren't stodgy, oppressive parents that believe kids should never know what the human body looks like.

Exactly Fallout 3 was rated MA15+ (Mature Audience 15 and over) I was 11 at the time and my mother was fine buying it for me so either way just like other games most parents will still but it for their kids the only thing that really changes is a restriction of what content they can release and a few kids can't buy the game.

I applaud you, my friend. Bravo!
