Gametrailers has published an interview with Fallout 3's lead producer Gavin "kathode" Carter.
Besides some more details about the game that we can also read in several previews, he talks a bit about the Fallout fanbase. he also mentions that the game takes place in 2277, 30 years after Fallout 2 finished up and notes that there is a large wasteland around Washington DC.
And another snippet on V.A.T.S.:
<blockquote> [...]Within any combat situation at any point you want you can pause time, you can examine your combat situation. Then you can use action points to do certain actions such as 'I want to target this guy's leg, and then I want to shoot his head'. So, you spend your action points to queue those up and then you press the V.A.T.S. button and engage V.A.T.S. mode and the computer takes over. Based on your skills, you witness the outcome of that.</blockquote>Link: Gametrailers' Interview with Gavin Carter
