But i need to know a few things first. Like how serious are the "-blam!- Themes", "Use of Drugs", and "Strong Language"? The gore and violence are things my parents don't care about, but I'm worried that they won't get it for me if the game characters are heroin-junkies and strippers who's only vocabulary is cussing.

Just dance 4- Lindsey Stirling

I have never seen any drug use nor any foul language...it's just a bit bloody and at times can be disturbing if the player chooses to do certain things with the dead.

There's only 2 or 3 characters that are really addicted to drugs.

And Mayor Macready is the only one that really swears a lot. New Vegas has more swearing.

The themes are only present if you go to certain places/get certain items.

Recon Number 54 -
If they are still looking, then while holding the snarl, I let drool start to drip from my mouth, I stand, curl my fingers into claws and with a hunched over crouch, I then make slow and deliberate steps towards them. When I get close enough, I let them hear my agonized and gasping growls and then, if they continue to stare, when I get within arm's reach? I kiss them on the nose, and run away giggling.

There is pretty much no -blam!- Themes in it except for one or two encounters but there is nothing other than a few references to it.

There are one or two drug addicts, but there are no real life drugs referenced. Bethesda made up a bunch of them to please the Australian rating system.

The game is like

60% Gore and Violence
25% Strong Language
10% Drugs
5% -blam!- Themes

Hope that helps and you enjoy the best game I have ever played.

EDIT: Just to clarify this bit

It does not mean anything of a -blam!- nature, it means you can stand there with a knife or an axe and chop them up and make bits explode in an amusing fashion.

Your parents seriously look at the ratings?

  • 12.02.2012 7:12 AM PDT

I am god.

The drugs are called Chems which are things like Med-x (morphine) and Buffout (steroids) and the some swears are said occasionally.

Here's what ESRB has to say.

There's use or drugs, strong language, and only a couple of junkies.

Why don't you read the back?

Barely any nudity. Most you get are underwear shots with the occasional naked, dismembered torso, but no genitals to be found.

Even the sex with Nova is a hunk of bull-blam!-. You don't see anything, as the screen just blacks out. But overall, I liked the game. More than NV

Currently studying Computer Science & Software engineering. Hope to work on mobile devices of the future! When a certain game's credits roll, look out for my name! ;)

You will -blam!- bricks when you see what game it is! =)

This.

You know those numbers/letters (or a digit) [depending whether its the ESRB or PEGI] in the bottom corners? Well if your age is that number or greater than it, you may purchase the game.

go here for more info.
