First time out of the vault
Fallout 3 will have an option for a 3rd person isometric view just like FO1 and FO2.
Combat is still turn-based. I don't remember if any mention of real-time combat was made.
The whole S.P.E.C.I.A.L. system is still intact and assumingly every other aspect of it as well (i.e. karma, AP, perks)
NPCs are a given. Some of the screenshots even show a dog (i.e. dogmeat) around the PC.
I actually agree with you on the whole atmosphere part about Morrowind and Oblivion. A lot of areas just felt incredibly artificial and the whole "trying to make NPCs seem like they have lives" failed horribly.
But, in a recent interview, Bethesda did say that not all areas in Fallout 3 will level up with the player. So, you can't explore all the dungeons right off the bat. But, they also said that the whole enemies leveling up with the player will be present just like in Oblivion... only on a smaller scale.
Don't they realize how shitty that made the game?

Ehm, Soro, stop posting stuff as truth while you don't know anything about it.
No, it'll have an option for an isometric view that is basically useless, you can't use it for combat etc.soro said:
No, it isn't. It's real-time with a pause option. This is not anything like turn-based.soro said:
Ehm, no, traits are gone, the focus and influence of stats has changed slightly and the skills have changed a lot.Soro said:
Re: Fallout 3 Questions
it is supposed to be over-the-shoulder in the VATS (where you line up actions like in KOTOR) and 1st person in the 'normal' combat. gametime-wise 70% are supposed to be done in VATS and 30% in fps-like manner. sauce on that is to find in the recent previews (news comments). all these 'facts' are hearsay in the 2nd degree.
turn-based seems to be more like "pause the game and line up actions according to your available action points". shots seem to cost 1 action point overall, so it looks more like some KOTOR-system.
skills seem to influence damage and accuracy in rt and in that "turn-based" system.
todd howard states that the same radiant AI is used, the difference will be that the NPC act according to way more data input than in morrowind/oblivion. how this plays out is yet to be seen.
you are allowed one party NPC, which according to howard, are hard to get and cost you lots of money. dogmeat, however, is some kind of constant companion, regardless if you have another party member or not.
yup, what consequences that will have on thge game itself, is not known yet.
i doubt that the original athmosphere can be 're-captured'. and that is not directly bethsofts 'fault', for fallout at that time was unique and by thus captured me and many other people just by the fact of its novelty and uniqueness. i guess if they use tha radiant AI, talking to hostile creatures is only possible if you trick besaid 'AI' by approaching them very fast and talk directly to them. at least, that worked in morrowind and oblivion
again, take a peek into the recent interviews and previews, most of those answers can be found there, thanks to briosa, per etc

TheMutant said:3. My bro used to play Morrowind and Oblivion, after seeing these games i don't trust Bethesda at all.Quests and NPCs were dumbs there and the story was totally unrealistic (in many places a random NPC would run our character and ask for help, i call them "troubled NPCs" and there's tons of them in Elder Scrolls series) do we have any sign of that Bethesda will be able to create Fallout's relation and NPC system?

"If" they release Fallout Online (or whatever it's gonna be named).
Plus, I don't think a MMO will ever have the kind of depth that a single player RPG could have. It'll only take one guy yelling "lf1g new reno pst" to ruin it for me.

Re: Fallout 3 Questions
Yeah, I never expect any game to really exceed Fallout's place in my heart. The best I hope for from FO3 is a fun game that is worth the money (especially after mods allow me to butcher children! Bwahahaha!).

Can't find it specifically so just will add my question here:
Anyone know how the loading will be handled. By that I mean, if for example I see a checkpoint ahead and to me at least it would make sense to get to a rooftop to get a better view of how many people there are etc, can I enter a building, head up to the roof and do that?

It's probable that it'll be handled the same as Oblivion did, meaning that the world is divided into areas with load times between them, and every indoor area is a seperate area.golfmade said:
