Kotaku Australia has word that Fallout 3 has been officially refused classification In Australia, confirming indications that the content of the upcoming RPG sequel was not meeting the Aussie Office of Film and Literature Classification's standards (story). This makes it illegal to sell the game down under, though it is possible that an edited version of the game will be resubmitted for approval, but at this point Bethesda has refused to comment on this situation. It is not clear why the game was refused classification, as it contains scenes depicting drug use as well as a good deal of gore, either or both of which can run afoul of the OFLC.

It seems silly to ban a game because of the imagery used if the ban will only increase interest in something that would have otherwise been overlooked. I wouldn't have given two shits about the drug imagery if it wasn't for the Australian ban. I doubt this could have been any more counter-productive.
