Wouldn’t it be easy to bypass the drug removal with a mod?

I heard from someone another change they made was you will not be able to target the eyes or groin with VATS. I have no idea about the groin but you cant target the eyes because it would make it too much like a reall assassination or something.. Another lovely example of how theyre trying to keep the nasty disgusting real world out of video games.

I never thought of that though... Just importing it from England since it will look exactly the same. I mean I thought of importing it for sure but I never thought it would work until I saw here and realised that they wouldnt be able to tell the difference... It's not like you can look at the disc and it will say in bold letters "DRUGS LIKE IRL OMG!!! KEEP OUT OF AUSTRALIA!!!"

The customs law says you cant import Refused Classification material, but if a game has been classified here then its fine to import it from overseas....thats why GTA IV imports were allowed and didnt get confiscated.

The big hoo-hah was about it being RC'd since you cant import that material...

Surely removal of the drugs is unnecessary? Why not just change the morphine injection to a morphine suppository? I'm fairly sure nobody will feel the need to go get themselves addicted to those things after playing the game!
But seriously, import time.

@WNxGinnungagap: Considering the government sees fit to RC Fallout 3 but ignore other forms of media with very very heavy drug use, I'll bet you anything that the people at Customs will fall for it.
"Oh, come on, officer, there's no difference!"

In a nutshell, Federal Government = too stupid to cope with virtual morphine. Just wish some of the higherups can say something about this.

"As expected, the main changes were to the portrayal of drug use in the game."

Wait, so there's going to be changes to things other than drugs? :O If that is true I shall be importing...

I’m sure there will be some way to patch it back in. It’s almost inevitable.

Perhaps there were achievements/trophies or even quests that ‘rewarded’ use of some drug-items? That could explain it without breaking the game mechanic
