Fallout 4

The player's customizable avatar can be male or female with a range of skin tones and physical features that include hairstyles, scars, makeup, and freckles. Non-player characters encountered in the wasteland include men and women with varying skin colors. Players can romance male and female characters regardless of their avatar's gender, allowing for same-sex and heterosexual relationships to develop. A robot character with an identifiably male voice (used for all robots of its class within the game) identifies as a female, and the player's character accepts her.

Exceptionally graphic first- and third-person combat involving guns, explosives, swords, and other weapons. Heads and limbs are frequently lopped or blown off in slow motion amid gory sprays of crimson. Mangled corpses and body parts remain where they fall, often in grotesque positions.

Characters sometimes appear in their underwear. Players can try to "romance" non-player characters in dialogue without any physically explicit results beyond text that says "you feel your lover's embrace."

Occasional but very strong language in text and spoken dialogue, including "f--k," "s--t."

Characters use drug syringes, pills, and can drink various kinds of alcohol to receive short-term effects both beneficial and detrimental. The protagonist can become addicted to substances, forcing him or her to seek treatment or suffer health consequences.

Parents need to know that Fallout 4 is an exceptionally violent role-playing game for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows PCs. It's set in a post-apocalyptic future with first- and third-person combat involving guns, swords, grenades, and even miniature nuclear explosives. Time frequently slows to show bodies blown to bloody, gory bits that remain where they fall rather than disappearing. The main character is customizable and can be male or female with a skin tone chosen by the player. They're on a righteous quest to find their lost son, but how they behave and interact with others along the way is up to the player. They can be a selfless hero to the people of the wasteland or a murderous thief working only for self-gain. They can also "romance" other characters, leading to non-explicit heterosexual and/or same-sex relationships. The adult-oriented story contains strong language and is designed to make mature players consider challenging concepts, including the societal, political, and technological consequences of an alternate history and future in which America fully embraced the power of the atom after the Second World War.
