The player can flirt with some characters.
Some raiders have cleavage.
Some of the posters and catalogs have big cleavages and showing panties (under womans dress).
A song references a man cat calling a women.
Players can remove armor/clothing, and are left in underwear (cannot undress more than this).
There are certain characters found in the Fallout world that the player can "romance." What this means is that after flirting with them for a certain amount of time, the player can sleep with them. However no nudity is shown. All that happens is that the player goes to bed like normal, but they wake up next to their partner in bed. When you wake up, the player and their partner are fully clothed. This gives the player the perk "lovers embrace."
The player can find women throughout the world, who may flirt with the player (absolutely nothing graphic, generally something to the extent of "hi baby").

About as violent as its predecessors, though it can get more violent depending on the situation.
The most common enemies are monsters which emit a lot of blood.
The violence is absolutely not constant. The game is about exploring the world and finishing quests which occasionally involve violence. However, when this happens, it can be very graphic.
Some side quest missions are focused on combat.
The game includes a social pressure mechanic where the most companions disapprove of needless violence. Others, however, encourage it.
As players traverse the open-world environment, they complete various mission objectives and use machine guns, machetes, lasers, and explosives to kill mutants and other human survivors. Battles are frenetic with realistic gunfire, explosions, and large blood-splatter effects; some attacks result in slow-motion dismemberment and decapitations. A handful of scenes depict chunks of flesh as well as severed heads and dismembered corpses.
Some times if you shoot someone in the head it will have pieces of their head go everywhere.
A song references a serial killer called butcher Pete killing women.
'Fallout 4' contains graphic sci-fi violence ranging from shooting to stabbing.
The player can shoot enemies to death.

During the course of the game, players can consume a variety of fictional drugs (e.g., Buffout, Jet, Psycho) through the use of a menu; repeated use of these drugs leads to an addiction status and various negative effects for characters.
In the silver shroud mission, there is talk of a man selling drugs to children.
The player can drink alcohol, and take fictional drugs. All of these things enhance the players abilities for a given amount of time and then wears off, however the player can become addicted to any one of these things. Getting addicted lowers the players stats until they take the drug again or see a doctor.
There are many people that will buy/sell drugs.
The player can find a city where there are a ton of junkies.
Certain enemies take drugs before a fight or talk about taking them.
The player does have the option, however, to not take a single drug throughout the entire game.

The game can be violent but because of the rarity of the violence and the overall lack of other mature content, it can be played by teens.
There's an are called the Glowing Sea where there's a very scary atmosphere and also many scary creatures like Radscorpions.
Bumping into a shopping cart which's way louder than almost anything else in the game WILL scare almost every player, no matter how old or young they are.
The entire game, just like the rest of the Fallout series, revolves around a post-nuclear future in which America is now an apocalyptic wasteland (the game takes place in Boston and its surrounding areas.)
There are certain enemies that are scary.
