Fallout 3 gets censored in Japan

Kotaku report that Bethesda will censor Fallout 3 in Japan, with the developer removing a few quests and changing the names of a few weapons.

The big change is that Mr. Burke will be removed from a quest in the town of Megaton, thus not allowing people to play an evil character at that point in the game, and chose to detonate the nuclear bomb. Also, it is believed that the mini-nuke launcher – affectionately called the Fat Man – will be renamed.

This kind of makes sense to us, but seeing as much of the world has been devastated by a nuclear war in the game it is not all that sweeping of a change in the grand scheme of things.
