However, on July 4, 2008, ''Fallout 3'' was refused classification by the [[Wikipedia:Office of Film and Literature Classification (Australia)|OFLC]] in Australia, thus making the game illegal for sale in the country due to the "realistic visual representations of drugs and their delivery method [bringing] the 'science-fiction' drugs in line with 'real-world' drugs." On September 9, 2008 [[Bethesda Softworks|Bethesda]] vice president of PR and marketing, [[Peter Hines]], described the idea of the Australian version of ''Fallout 3'' as a misconception, and said all versions of ''Fallout 3'' will not include real world drug references. However, the name "morphine" is still used in the Japanese and Czech versions of the game. |

Med-X is a chem that appears in Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas.
Background
Med-X is a potent opiate analgesic that binds to opioid receptors in the brain and central nervous system, reducing the perception of pain as well as the emotional response to pain. In layman's terms, it's a run-of-the-mill pain killer delivered with a hypodermic needle. According to Boxcars, 15 hits of Med-X is more than enough to kill a man.
Variants
Med-X
Gameplay articles: Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas
Med-X is a potent pain killer that can often be found in first aid boxes or abandoned medical facilities. The chem will increase damage resistance by 25%, but it also carries a 10% addiction rate, and withdrawal results in a -1 penalty to Agility and Intelligence.
Behind the scenes
Med-X was originally to be named Morphine in Fallout 3, but this resulted in the Australian Classification Board refusing its classification and thereby making it illegal to distribute the game in Australia.[1] The game was later censored to remove all real-world drug references including changing morphine to Med-X in order for the game to be allowed in Australia.[2] This censorship was to become part of the worldwide release.[3]
