Parents guide

Some characters are prostitutes and the player can rent a room from them regardless of chosen gender. The prostitute will lay down to sleep, fully clothed like all other characters, and the player can do this too on the same bed. Nothing sexual is shown or heard, and this doesn't affect your karma in anyway.

During the prologue, a teenage boy is harassing a teenage girl and tells her that he'll show her "A real tunnel snake". It's heavily implied that he means his penis.

If the player takes armour off any dead bodies, the body is then seen in his/her underwear. There's no full nudity in the game.

Some chosen dialogue includes flirting with the opposite sex.

Enemies limbs can be dismembered with blood spray

If you shoot an enemy in the head the head will explode with a gross squish sound with heaps of blood and chunks of brains and eyeballs go flying.

Players can use a perk called "cannibalism" which they'll eat the corpses of dead human NPC's and can regain health, but in turn, lose Karma. Should they be seen eating a corpse, they'll be attacked as it's a "crime against nature".

Graphic gory sci fi violence with a lot of blood

Fallout 3 is EXTREMELY bloody, graphic, gory and violent - especially when you use the slow motion perk.

If you have the bloody mess perk enemies can completley explode with copious blood spray and chunks of gore, organs and intestines flying everywhere.

When you kill someone when using vats is shows a cinematic slow motion version of what happens, this can be very extremely graphic with the bloody mess perk.

There are fairly frequent uses of fuck throughout the game.

Some side-characters are addicted to drugs and alcohol.

Some NPCs are seen smoking.

The player character can become addicted to alcohol and drugs.

Fictional drugs reminiscent of morphine, meth and other drugs can be taken as well as the ability to consume alcohol, this is not recommended at the age the main character is (19 years of age)

In this game you can consume various amounts of alcohols but it negatively affects your character. Various fictional drugs can be taken. These drugs will give your character positive effects, but too much use will cause your character to develop an addiction.

One location has a disturbing depiction of slavery as well as some rare encounters during exploration. People are seen wearing explosive collars, including some children. Slavers are often rude and threatening in dialogue.

Animals, bugs, and some characters are mutated and many of them will try to attack the player character, some may be a little grotesque or eerie looking.

The background for a mutant populated enemy faction is very disturbing, involving forcefully exposing captured humans to a fictional "Forced Evolutionary Virus" (FEV) which mutates the victim gruesomely, usually driving them insane. This information is only useful if you want to learn more about the game's story.

One of the NPC companions Fawkes; an intelligent Super Mutant, will yell EVERY TIME he sees an enemy, even small ones like a Radroach. This'll scare almost anybody, no matter how old they are.

The hostile creature known as the Centaur has a very disturbing appearance that will frighten almost anybody.

Some NPCs can be captured and sold to slavers. The player can also buy one to serve as a bodyguard.

The atmosphere of The Capital wasteland may be creepy/depressing for some.

There is a haunted building which may be scary for some.

This game is extremely glitchy, which may result in some very scary/disturbing glitches (Floating heads, talking dead bodies, flying objects, lighting bugs, etc.)

There are some disturbing characters and mature themes.
