Yep good point, Silent Storm has something like it too.

In line with this, I don't quite know if this has been mentioned, but it would be interesting to include multiple, chained attacks requiring more APs than normal kicks/punchs, with increased chance for KO due to successive blows to an opponent. This, however, would be more in line with 60s-70s hongkong flicks rather than a strictly 50's setting.
someone mentioned stance-changes; to increase the sense of anticipation and strategy, it could be required that some special actions (not specifically unarmed combat) take more APs than available to a character/opponent in one turn. readying such an action would then engender a change of stance (e.g. the animation of the character/opponent in the act of reaching into pockets/backpack) putting the character/opponent on the opposite side on alert.

I fail to see why Fallout needs hexes when I don't use them in my actual P&P RPGs, not to mention (since this is a fairer comparision to Fallout's combat) my actual tabletop wargames. Whether it's historical, Warhammer, or MageKnight/HeroClix, they all use real distances and rulers. The nice thing about computer games is, you don't need rulers.

ToEE used rulers, but I'd much rather have hexes for Fallout. Fallout was all about hexes, and we all know hexes are the bee's knees, baby.

just because the originals and the insperation had hexes, dosn't mean that FO3 has to have hexes. hex based combat isn't a major part of FO, maintaining the setting, NPC interation and basic combat mechanics is a lot more important. changing to a gridless combat system wouldn't destroy to fallout feel. the game dosn't need hexes and not having hexes improves the immersion
the pesudo-realtime (a better name would be cinamatic turnbased) is a good idea. it isn't that diffrent to FO1/2, instead of click, character moves, click, character shoots, click character moves into cover, you get click, click, click, character moves then shoots a guard and ducks back into cover. it would look cooler (you could get sme really nifty animations, like when Neo cartwheels between the 2 pillers while shooting), and still be turnbased. interupts would also add a bit of usefull realism.

sorry, i'll try and clarify.
cinamatic = like the movies
the combat mode would provide a more movie like experiance, with longer periods of animation and allowing the use of diving and similar animations, but still having the same level of control.
hope thats some help.

Damn, another clueless newbie without any idea as to the presentation, style, or anything that makes up Fallout except what they want to see or what their naive "understanding" manages to grasp, but after that they don't bother to think that something might be developed in such a manner for a reason. They don't understand the setting design or much else of relevance and do such with points that could only be pure idiocy or trolling. They go for pure trendy bullshit that has little relevance to the game's design, much less the point of calling it a CRPG.
Here's a suggestion: If you like the Matrix's style of presentation and thinks it's TEH BESTEST IDEA EVER!, go buy Enter the Matrix and forget you ever registered onto these forums. Otherwise, don't complain when you get flamed. You're already on borrowed time.
EDIT: Fuck it, one warning for trolling and not bothering to lurk beforehand. Who the hell doesn't bother to read the thread, and there's an explanation of why The Matrix bullshit doesn't fit just a few posts up higher, and then post this half-baked "idea"?

Hey Roshambo, You got to stop getting so angry at every little Troll that comes around these parts, with the troll influx lately due to the "troubles" early last week with the SA and Bethsoft forums (not to mention the simple "revival" of fallout 3), you're gonna have a heartstroke soon.
