the character designs are some what different because they are a Brotherhood of Steel group which is located further east/near Chicago. so, they will have slightly different technology and clothing. any ways, the main reason everything looks different is because we are not use to seeing so much detail in the raiders, soldiers, etc... like, in FO1 and FO2, the green haired radiers... if you were to stand right next to them, they'd look completely different than in the game. so, to answer your question.... yes, FO:BoS will have the same/similar atmosphere as FO and FO2, however, it will be a little different simply because they are not from the area in which FO and FO2 took place. also, they said that they are going to lay off some of the humor... so, there probably wont be as much of it in FO:BoS as there was in FO and FO2. so, i guess you can forget meeting the bridge keeper and the King Author's Knights searching for the holly handgrenade of Antioch.
