However, it won't be Fallout. And no, I am not a No Mutants Allowed viewer or anything. The only thing Bethesda shouldn't have done is to put that damn "3" after the title. :\ I am sure it will be a great game.

Great for headshots, but the occasional kneecap, etc is fun as well. It wil lbe interesting to try the FPS style too though. I just hope they kept perks (especially Bloody Mess.) :) I'm playing through Mass Effect the second time, and have come to enjoy the FPS lite style of combat. I think they could have gotten away with not having to pause the game if they did a power selection scheme similar to the xmen games from ravensoft. I think aiming the powers would have been the issue, still. Anyway, glad to finally see fallout reborn, now if someone would only revive the FreeSpace line. The mission design, game depth, voice acting, mood, and story were as good as any game since. And I really wanted to see the story come to some kind of conclusion. (Admittedly the story from mass effect is eerily close to the freespace storyline, but that's scifi for you I guess.) I love the VATS.
