Emil Pagiarulo:<blockquote> There are some people who say that making an 18-rated game, and especially making a Fallout one, should be about sleeping with the hooker, then waking up with the venereal disease. A lot of that stuff personally, to me, veers into being a 12-year old dungeon master.

Some of it feels right and some of it feels wrong. We're appealing to an adult audience and it's a tough call. I mean, once you have groin shots you're approaching a level of silliness that, if you're not careful, can pervade the whole game.</blockquote>Link: Fallout 3 Trying To Avoid Silliness on Kotaku.

Spotted on Fallout 3 APNB.
 
The original designers wouldn't have included groin shots if they'd had access to today's maturity level. They'd be replaced by insult-flinging robots.
 
How does using a viable and highly effective target amount to silliness?

You really have to wonder about some people. It'd be silly if people in a battle thought to themselves "Hmmm. Can't shoot him in the balls, cause that'd be silly"
 
What a ret... strange person. Groin shots might've been 'funny' but they really have a purpose and it seems nobody in bethesda really has balls... Anyone with balls knows how good groin criticals are.
 
Remember that Fallout violence shouldn't be silly - it should be hilarious.

Maybe they were victims of groin shots themselves and so are biased against them?
 
And still it's funny how a "silly" game like Postal 2 manages to contain more choices and consequences than Oblivion.
 
What a joke... Complain about silliness when you have exploding cars and nuclear catapults in your game.

Well, that WOULD carry an important social message. Props to the U.S. sex ed system if your 12-year-olds actually KNOW about veneral diseases.

i find that funny coming from a man working on a game whose PR is very much based on sillyness, 'lulz' and 'fun'.

:clap:
 
Rated E is more mature than silly DMs giving you VD for sleeping with cheap hookers at the Den. Next they will get rid of gambling.
 
you guys are forgetting: having Herpes isn't fun.


It doesn't fit with their view of how Fallout should be based entirely around extremely overdone gore, toilet humor, and big scary orcmutants weilding chinese ak47s..

If someone had suggested to Todd that you could leave a big cleveland steamer on that hooker's chest after gouging out her eyeballs and throwing them at a mutant, prostitutes might be in FINO3.
 
I think this hype tactic is begining to work on me. "We wont do this, thats useless, we won't do that that's silly....but watch thisss fewwwwl!!!!"
and.. I guess something very evil is being crafted for us in the bunker.
