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.
