A game where someone's body parts fly off and head explodes every 3 seconds and this seems offensive?
I don't get it...

Interesting that he felt it necessary at the time to write "BABY" with an arrow pointing down to a very obviously pregnant belly.

Fallout 3 desperately needs that achievement. Fucking hate those Little Lamplight bastards.
If MacCready is going to point that gun at me, I say I should be able to put a few 5.56mm rounds right in his little punk face.
I know! And it's not like it wouldn't be a fair fight. They live right next to Supermutant Central for fucks sake! They're doing at LEAST as well as the Brotherhood of Steel!
Except they don't have Power Armor, but that's about the long and the short of it. Otherwise they WOULD be a pint-sized Brotherhood.

Elsewhere on the subject of Little Lamplight, how is it that the kids don't seem to have any trouble keeping the Uglies out of their town, but as soon as they get to Big Town they cower in fear from Muties and Slavers? Did they somehow forget their survival skills upon reaching age sixteen?! You'd think they'd be some of the biggest badasses in the Wasteland!

Exactly! Wait I've got it! Mutant's can't kill kids either! The laws of the Fallout Universe won't allow it, and they reach adult-hood and BAM, bye bye invulnerability.

Jokes are funny because of the audacity or the ridiculousness of the situation. When I tell a girl to go make me a sandwich, why, because shes the women. It is clearly a ridiculous situation in which I am saying it. Sure there will be the guy that means it, but isn't that the same for someone asking why did the chicken cross the road? People fail to see past their own narcissistic eyes at what their looking at. Instead of dissecting the image, they instantly turn against it. Same thing when they meet new people, who may be wearing a color they don't like. Their view of that person is INSTANTLY below what the person can reasonably pass. It could be the Pope, but because he was wearing that dreadful white cloak thing. Someone will dislike him. In a way we all have to get past narcissism for hypocrisy to go and common sense to become, well common.

He's doing it wrong! What would /b/ say? FALCON PUNCH!

But I have to say, there are times that revisions need to be made, this is one of those. While its...sorta comical (in a not that funny way), this is one of those controversial things that people see as bad, and it is

That's...brilliant! That's got to be how Bryan Wilks survives the trip from Grayditch to Rivet City as well. The Muties would mop the floor with him otherwise.

So the question is, what image DID they use instead?

I'm not about to kill a kid to find out.
Surprisingly enough, I could not remember the image associated with Childkiller.

I was surprised that it had not been posted yet. So I looked for an image online, and couldn't find one! I looked at the fallout wiki and even though they have descriptions and images for every perk, trait, and skill, child killer and other such "acquired" perks through gameplay decisions were not on the site. Since I couldn't find a picture of it anywhere, you encouraged me to dig through 3 storage bins of old CDs to find my Fallout 2 disc, reinstall the game, try about 10 keys before I realized that F12 takes a screenshot (since PrtScr didn't work due to my dual-monitor setup), to bring you this anti-climactic 640x480 JPG (converted from BMP, of course), hosted on imageshack:

<img src="http://img714.imageshack.us/img714/7291/scr00000.jpg" /img>

Edit: For the record, I think the original image that was not included in the game is a fine and fitting piece of art. I understand the controversy, but I think it's a great picture, and instead of using that art, they just reused the graphic for being "hated [http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/9/9d/Hated.gif]" from a town.

You see, now you've got me curious about what you were going to say...
We will never know, but rest assured it would have been epic and ensured a revolutionary paradigm shift in all of modern society.

On topic, I remember well the days of Fallout 2 when I did kill some kids and got the Childkiller rep. And yes, I was disappointed it was a reused picture; not because I wanted to see what it would look like but because it was reused. As their artist at the time, I would have probably just put the evil-suited Vault Boy next to a boy or something to that effect. That picture is just foul.

Thanks. Sorry that it wasn't all that awesome considering how much work I made you do.
You didn't make me do it - I wanted to do it myself! I forgot what the image was and I forgot. And I wanted to see it, and the easiest way to do it was to do it all myself, and now I have a fallout 2 save I might end up playing now and then. :p
