As hard as I try to remember, I can't recall any real world drug in Fallout games. Psycho, Buffout, Jet, Mentats... all fictional products. Perhaps few almost hidden references to steroides or peyote in what Myron said, but you weren't taking reality drugs. So what's the issue, did Beth originally made you pumping heroine or what???

I wondered the same thing, and found some screenshots mentioning morphine.
They could have kept the real world names in the US with a mature (17+) classification. It's been done before, and will be again.
They probably chose not to do so to avoid the wrath of various special interest groups full of misguided religious leaders and asshole attorneys.
Edit: If Australia had a game classification higher than (15), I doubt any of this watering down would have happened.

Welcome to my world. Now the whole world will know what it's like to be screwed over by the actions of the Australian government.

Apparently Interplay are developing a Fallout MMO codenamed "Project V13", helmed by Chris Taylor himself.

Problem is that a Fallout MMO would be even more a betrayal of the original spirit of Fallout than even the worst criticism one could level at Bethesda. At least that's a single-player story based RPG.
MMOs? Not... those things. And MMOs are among the most expensive, finacialy risky game projects you can find. Safe money says make it like WoW. Anyone willing to argue that WoW is more like Fallout than Oblivion?

Actually, given the nature of Fallout's world, an MMO is a perfect fit.
The story aspect would get pretty butchered though; but I honestly don't think Fallout's main story was that big of a deal - it's the little, town-sized stories and random world-describing bits you found here and there that really shined, and both could also fit perfectly inside an MMO.
However, they will turn it into a grind fest ala WoW and ruing the potential...

There is a big potential in the world, but it's also very risky project and I have bad feeling it has big chance to turn into one of the biggest fuck-ups in the MMO area ever.

How low expectations, it will play like a WoW TC (i.e. like every other recent MMORPG).

No, that was Pokemon.
Then again, if people can pay for looking at their ship fly in EVE, they can pay to look at their avatar walk through a wasteland.

In regard to F3 they surely will.
