    It's because European countries have rules against games where children die violently.

    True, but...

    It is true there was a version of Fallout, that removed all kids, because you could kill them.
    But...please don't put all European countries in one huge box :smile:
    I believe it was Germany (and perhaps the UK) that wanted this weird kid change. Not the rest of Europe.
    So the kids were removed because of one, perhaps two countries.

    And no, it is not fairly common for european countries to have rules against it.
    As a European myself, I have never ever heard of a law/rule against it (although I don't know if Germany has a rule about or not, so it could be they had).

    So please, don't put us all in one box :smile: We are really not the same country.

    No offense meant btw, I just get itchy when people make too wide generalizations.

    Germany has those strict laws because of its past and its involvement with the two world wars.

    They're trying to turn the country around and don't want to take any risks

    Here in the UK everything that goes wrong is blamed on video games. :sad:

    Pissukonde ( wow I spelled it :grin: ) people just want somthing to blame rather than themselves or the person who has done it.
    Hey heard prince charles( think it was him )
    said that video games " where the province of slackjawed idiots " .
    My Video games do have a hard time.

    Same s*** as with Fallout Tactics. Everyone is so sensitive about putting anything that can be related to high school killings, just because society breeds killers and it's much easier to blame an entertainment medium.

    Yeah, I agree with you there, Gareth.

    Like an adult and a child is that much different in the terms of taking life (basically). It's these damn PC twits that haven't been culled from the herd yet. People with no sense of responsibility or rationality whatsoever. The whole Columbine thing can be debunked within 15 seconds if there was a real justice system in America. Fact is, it's become a joke. Run over your neighbor's stray poodle, you're sued for millions. Yes, crap like that happens.

    I think it's something like GURPS and Fallout. Once it was known that you could kill kids in Fallout, GURPS withdrew FAST. This is going by common reports.

    So if Sierra or someone else decided that killable kids was a no-go...

    I dont miss them

    The game has too many slowdowns as it is. Besides Tarant is suposed to have an population close to a million: all towns are more symbolic then accuret.
