I m not so sure about this, but when the previews are all about mutants and ghouls that are atacking as if Fallout 3 will be an action-horror game with an RPG touch to it.
first of all: Why do I ask this?
When I ve red the previews and looked at all the screenshots, there is one thing that mostly dominates the whole of it : action-combat against frigthening mutants and ghouls.
If I didn't know anything about Fallout then I might almost have said this could have been screenshots from a special edition of some new kind of DOOM-like game.
I thought Fallout was about the Fallout world and that mutants where just a fraction of that world as a whole, human vs human combat, human vs critters, human vs mutants, human vs robots, human vs plants, human vs aliens, humans vs ghosts.
=> What I see when I read this last sentence is variation: that s one of the key features what made fallout such a good game to me.
Fallout was/is about the world of Fallout: a world that has fallen into Anarchy, diferent parts of the world where cut of from each other and had to make contact again (humans, even mutants are humans=ghouls & dipped humans).
What I think that could be happening now is that Bethesda wants to make an epic kind of scene from one massive army of non human mutants against one army of humans knights and that this is the center of the game (Such as the GOTHIC 3 game).
Now I m not sure what I should think of the impression Bethesda is (maybe unaware) of giving us, so I want to know what your impression is ... Do you agree, do you not agree, or are you indifferent?

Not that I don't like horror games, I do like em and Fallout was a bit a bloody mess and so but their where other things in the game that where more then equally important. Will a reviewer label this game as a post-nucleair 'horror' adventure game?
I posted the same kind of topic on the bethesda forum, but in a poll if you wish to vote:
