RPG-wise, yeah. jRPGs, Jade Empire, Fable, and KOTOR have the same shitty gameplay that made mediocre stuff like Morrowind and Oblivion seem amazing. Hell, I'd take Oblivion over just about any of the aforementioned.

There is only one side. And if it bores you so much why post about it?

Re: Fallout 3 Preview: How Fallout 3 Is Different Than Obliv

So those two major throwbacks hopefully satisfy the sensibilities of the Fallout elite. But what about the rest of us? If (*ahem*) we don’t like shooters, but we do like RPGs, is there anything in Fallout 3 for us?

"I happened to pop my V.A.T.S. when I had a good shot at his weapon, so I expended all my action points targeting his launcher and managed to get enough hits with my measly pistol to knock it out of his hands. That just pissed him off, so he charged at me. Then I targeted his right leg and unloaded into that until he was crippled and couldn't keep up with me, after which I put some distance between us and shot the guy in the face repeatedly until he went down. The V.A.T.S. made it possible to immobilize and defeat an enemy I'm pretty sure I was too weak to be fighting. That was a fun strategic moment."

VATS - the ultimate bullet-time. APs seem to be only a rechargable source of crit rolls.

"A fun strategic moment"? - It's funny (in a not funny way) how people consider VATS as a TB/stategic mode. Nearly all of previewers mention it as a "noble"/oldschool feat (maybe I see too much between the lines), but in general they shit on TB.

Anyone remember this "preview"?

EDIT: wow, nobody pulled it down, yet. Check comments from Darth Reven.
