Fallout 3 - German Version Overview @ GameStar

by Gorath, 2008-10-29 18:29:14

German print mag GameStar posted an overview over a couple of mostly technical points. Basis is the German Fallout 3 retail version for PC.

Summary:

  • No blood at all. The German version is cut. According to the article the Austrian and Swiss versions are not.
  • CP: SecuROM, but without online activation and install limits. The DVD needs to be in the drive.
  • GfW Live: optional, but limited to one account.
  • Loca clearly improved on to Oblivion. [Oblivion had a terrible localisation. ; ed.] Not much to complain about it.
  • F3 is not ALT-Tab friendly.
  • The options menu is buggy. Especially widescreen resolutions are often not saved.
  • The author mentions in surprisingly mild language that some menus seem to have been adjusted for consoles, which means a lot of scrolling for mouse users.

So Bethesda censored the game, although it was quite clear that even the edited version would be rated kJ (aka "18").
