Hello everyone, I'm new to this site and I think this forum is where I would post something like this... if not please let me know where it belongs. I recently replayed the first Fallout, which I got through GOG, but later discovered that both the Steam and GOG downloads are the UK version of the game, which has some limitations such as removing kids and drug references from the game. I know there's patches to fix that, but when I started surfing the web, discovered that I could get the original US CD-ROM for a decent price.
Call me crazy, but I've always preferred physical things as opposed to virtual downloads, I like the feel of having a movie DVD or music vinyl in my hands a lot better than having it stored on an app. Ideally, i would like to get the original big box version, even if its used, but that seems to be financially impossible. Instead, I've come across a CD release of the game that comes in a DVD box, not a CD case like others. The DVD box looks like its a more recent rerelease of the game because it lists Windows Vista as a playable operating system. I think it's the US version because it has the ESRB "M" rating on its cover but because the recent rereleases of the game are the UK version, does anyone who owns the DVD case version know if it is indeed the US version? Also, I've read that the original CD version came with a bunch of bugs that have since been fixed by patches that are conveniently found on this site: does the DVD version, since its a more recent release, come with those patches already installed or would I have to later install fixes just like I would on a vintage 1997 disc? I've already scoured the internet looking for some sort of information on this DVD box release, but can't find anything. Searching for it through the forums hasn't helped that much either.
