Bethesda has confirmed all versions of Fallout 3 will be censored in the same way as the Australian release.
Bethesda's Peter Hines told Edge the decision was made to avoid confusion between gamers in different territories. "We want to make sure folks understand that the Australian version of Fallout 3 is identical to both the UK and North American versions in every way, on every platform," said Hines.
The Australian Office of Film and Literature Classification (OFLC) initially refused to pass Fallout 3 on the basis that it contained references to real world drugs. Bethesda then submitted a censored version of the game containing fictional drug names which was passed for release by the OFLC.
Fallout 3 is due for release on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 on 28 October in the US and 31 October in Europe.
