Sex & Nudity
-
- There are multiple prostitutes and multiples cases where the player character can seduce NPCs with if he has the right stats; sex is implied afterwards typically.
Violence & Gore
-
- The uncensored version of the game has pooling blood and some sights of decomposition and gore/dismemberment but since the visuals of the game are dated this isn't disturbing to look at. The game is old and seen from an isometric view.
- This is a violent game but isn't as extreme to today's standards. There is still a fair amount of gore and violence.
- While the game can be completed without directing harming anyone, combat is a huge part of Fallout for most character types.
Profanity
-
- Crap, damn, hell, piss, bitch, fuck, etc. Swearing is usually used pretty sparingly and mostly by "evil" characters.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- Quite a few drugs in the game, though they're all fictional. Some like Stimpaks, Rad-X, and Rad-Away are medicinal, while others like Mentats, Psycho, Buffout, etc are recreational. All reward the player with some sort of buff, but sometimes at the cost of a debuff. The player can become addicted to recreational drugs, which leads to debuffs when the drugs are not taken regularly.
- Multiple bars, beer is a consumable item (though with only a negative effect)
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- This is easily one of the bleakest and most unsettling games ever released, going on par with Threads (1984). It focuses heavily on the horrors of war, the devastating aftermath of a nuclear holocaust, society desperately fighting for survival, death by radiation, mass murder, genocide, widespread thirst, extreme starvation, inhumane experiments, and more. It's incredibly disturbing, depressing and realistic, and it has a constant sense of dread as well as a grim, brutal atmosphere.
- The game-over screen shows an eerie picture of the skeleton of the player which can be frightening to players.
- By far the darkest, most serious and most disturbing game in the "Fallout" series. Nothing that has come after this in the franchise ever comes even remotely close to how terrifying this game is.
Spoilers
Sex & Nudity
- Game features some references to sex. An insane NPC mentions wanting to have sex with a Mr. Handy robot, a major plot point depending on how the game is played revolves around the sterility of Super Mutants, player character can insult an NPC by suggesting his irrational behavior is because he "never got laid", etc.
Violence & Gore
- Organic material covers the hallway leading to The Master's room.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
- In one of the bad endings, if the Vault Dweller chooses to join the Master and his army, the Unity, they will turn the poor Vault Dweller into a Super Mutant and attack Vault 13. This ending is both dark, sad and disturbing as we see the mutants kill the innocent dwellers through a security camera on the console of the controls to activate the Vault door.
- The Master's disfigured appearance is extremely unsettling, compounded with the early 3D graphics, and mix of human and computer voices may make him seem frightening to most players.
- If the player agrees to work with The Master, an alternative game over scene plays where the player is dipped in a vat of Forced Evolutionary Virus and becomes a Super Mutant in The Master's army. The next scene shows the army invading Vault 13 and killing everyone they can.
