The unused icon is absurdly funny, however I found the original 'Child Killer' art to be a bit more appropriate given how you would take care of those little rock throwing b@stards.
Rejected Fallout 2 Childkiller Vault Boy Image Surfaces

Actually I remember that. They made a joke about that in Vault City. When someone says "do you know why theres no kids around" you can respond "because this is the European version of the game". Then you could donate sperm. Good times. The American version definately had kids and the child killer perk in it though.Ragsnstitches said:

I can see why it would be controversial but damn it, it was meant to be shocking. Killing children in a world where the human population of a town is measured in the dozens is a shocking thing. Sometimes something shocking is needed.
For those saying it wasn't put in the game:
I sort of remember it being in there, not this icon though and I can't remember what they did put instead. Or... maybe I am remembering fallout 1. In any case I remember it did a baaad thing to your game, even bugged some of the dialogue, and you ended up with head hunters trying to kill you.

That's awesome. +2 coolness for you!EMFCRACKSHOT said:
Have fun explaining it down the road though, when you run into folks unaware of the image's history and think you're a sick freak.
Everyone has their own personal boundaries? I wouldn't call that pathetic, just interesting. It may be odd that I find his perspective kinda sweet and down to earth...Sightless Wisdom said:
Since I was going to hell anyway, all laughing at this sort of thing does is just get me an express ticket. Dark humor at it's finest/worst.
I'm not gonna lie, I laughed. Hard.
I'm also against the inability to shoot the kids in Fallout 3. I know that sounds like a horrible statement... but it's just so watered down in extreme vulgarity when compared to Fallout 2... what with the omission of the Prostitute, Porn Star, & Pimp careers and all.
Shut up, you know you enjoyed them. Some people are so repressed.

I'd draw a blood-soaked Vault Boy holding a lollipop and an upturned baby carriage behind him.
Nowhere as visually striking, seven times as disturbing.

I'd call it pathetic that people find this so much more offensive than the other virtual slaughter Fallout is famous for. People seem to have a very poor grasp on reality and context when it comes to controversy.Captain Blackout said:
I'm just gunna stop right here. Clearly if I point something out to you I'll either get in trouble for it or prolong an "OMG TEH INTERWEBS" war longer than it has to go on. Either that or I'll just be pushing your buttons. None of which is necessary.Logan Westbrook said:
