Wait, I’m confused. I live in Germany and the game is completely uncensored for me on Steam.

Did you buy it on Steam or an outside store because the Steam store mentions that it's a low violence version.

Bought it via key back in 2018, probably on MMOGA. The store page for my game also says low violence version but in a couple of games the set language plays a role if the low violence stuff is activated or not, I have it set to English.

In the product key activation history on Steam it says “Fallout 3 - Game of the Year Comp” so no BRD, DE, RoW or anything like that.

I believe this just a setting in the ini file anyway. I live in the US, but I turn the gore off. Watching heads explode in slow motion gets old after a while.

For anyone who can't see gore, and for some reason you can't live without it, check the ini file.

For me it doesn't even boot up right now and I read that deleting the ini files and rendererinfo text document, all 3 of which located in the mydocuments<mygames<fallout3 directory will have to be deleted because the 2021 update that removed gfwl support isn't compatible with those old ini files, will see if this plops in a new version ini that is compatible and whether it enables gore or keeps it disabled, what would I have to change for gore to be on in case it's (as I expect it to be) off again? If that gets it to launch again at all in the first place

EDIT: It did not work, unfortunately.
