Japan is getting the raw end of this deal, as it was announced today that the Japanese version of Fallout 3 will be heavily censored in that region. The side-quest, "The Power of the Atom", now has no "evil" side to select from now as the quest giver was removed.
Non-playable-character Mr. Burke has been taken out of this side-quest, removing the option of detonating the nuclear bomb. That's not all, the name of a weapon was changed as it was deemed "inappropriate" for Japan. Smart money says the weapon is mini-nuke launcher "Fat Man" for obvious reasons. The online reaction from the Japanese users seems to be largely disappointment to these edits.While these changes aren't game-breaking, it is quite unfortunate the visual content that will be missed in that region. Fallout 3 goes on sale this December in Japan.
