Many fans of the Fallout series were waiting for another sequel to the one of the best Role Playing Games in the history- Fallout.
The first Fallout came out around the same date when the first Bethesda's TES game did- Daggerfall. Both games had different mechanics (Fallout was ISO view with Turn-based combat, and Daggerfall was First Person Perspective with Real Time combat) and they were a totally different games. Bethesda's game was mainly based on action and dungeon crawl. Fallout's world was huge but somehow full of life of the destroyed civilisation after a nuclear holocaust. Bethesda's games were very...empty and uninspired.
The Fallout's creators' main target of the game was to emulate a PnP games feeling. That is why they've chosen a turn-based combat, and for TB combat, the isometric view is the best choice. First person perspective and real time combat was designed far before turn-based and ISO view.
Second target of the designers was to get rid off those dungeon crawls, fantasy driven with orcs and elves, feeling. They wanted to change the point of view of all RPGs back then, take the game style out from the fantasy world (Daggerfall for example) and put it into a sci-fi setting with "F" words and "S" words within the deep and very enjoyable dialogue. And they have succeeded!
So, to get to the point after this damn introduction. What Bethesda Softworks did with Fallout? They did the same game they were doing for years (TES series) and painted it with "Fallout" name on it.
Dongeons are now subways, and most NPCs look and sound like they were copied from the Oblivion and pasted in the Fallout world. And in the original Fallouts, the game made a feeling of "loneliness" in the endless wasteland, and NPCs? wow, even kids would rather steal something from you while asking for help.
Although, the game would be good as a sand-alone game...but it's NOT! It's called "Fallout 3" and don't forget that this was supposed to be a sequel, not something else!!
PS. This is in short, you don't want to know how long the whole thing would be like ;)
