The inventory appears to be the 'items' screen on your Pip-Boy.

Oh that'll be fun, trying to discern what you want out of a bunch of green on black icons.

Well if Oblivions inventory system is anything to go by, then that's pretty much exactly what it'll be like as it used icons exclusively to denote the item type.

Team Xbox did a preview of Fallout 3 that literally has absolutely nothing new to add. This is the only statement of interest:<blockquote>Amazingly, a lot of diehard Fallout fans worried about the prospect of Bethesda turning their beloved franchise into “Oblivion with guns” (which, in this editor’s opinion, isn’t exactly a bad thing). After a recent trip to the studio for our first eyes-on of the game, we’re happy to report that it looks like Fallout 3 will have something for everyone. Old school Fallout fans will be impressed by the incredibly immersive world and quasi-turn-based gameplay, while news fans will be blown away by, well, everything.</blockquote>
"Oblivion with guns" isn't a bad thing, I guess, if you've never played any other RPG in your life and you think Oblivion is God's gift to gaming. I played Oblivion for a couple of hours, and aside from some pretty graphics in a couple of outdoor areas, I wasn't impressed.

"Quasi-turn-based" just sounds awful, which I'm afraid Fallout 3's combat system is going to be. Either make it truly turn-based or just make the damn thing a FPS already.

It would be totally assgoatfuck of them to remove the original inventory, c'mon.

I get the feeling they change stuff just out of spite.

They're the REAL fans! They should change everything because you're just a bunch of backward assholes who want gaming to stay in the dark age of the 90's!

Turn-Based gameplay and meaningful character stats are so stupid, I mean... They're from before 2006 (the year when Oblivion saved us all from the stagnant world of RPG's!!!)

Real-time and First-Person perspectives are more immersive and realistic! Therefore they are better!

You're all SICK! SICK AND WRONG!!!!

(The basic gist of most people's arguments for Fallout 3)
 
Well, I'd forgive most 'stomps on' by any company that takes a new IP and does a sequel if the final product is very good and of high quality.

But as much I'd like to, I can't see anything but a 'selling forumula' in Bethesda's recent games, and not anything that says 'quality and meaningfull experience'.

And did you notice how only now, people that were 'OMG oblivion wow teh cool suuper gaeme nuub' are finally agreeing that, ok, Oblivion didn't have great AI, ok, Oblivion had point and click combat, ok, Level scaling is really gay, BUT ONLY NOW PEOPLE? Why did all of you reviewers sucked Oblivion's brown sugar and only NOW do you manage to say something bad about it, when the next-gen super mega awsome totally immersive Fallout 3 is in the works?

That's because Bethesda themselves are saying it now, as per their usual strategy of shitting on their old games to polish the new.
I mean if Bethesda say it, it's okay!
