I'd play Fallout with FPS view.

then people would compare it with THIS

Really, isometric views were the hallmark of the fallout series. that and being able to blow people in half with a BB gun.

but truth be told, as long as they use the SPECIAL system specifically developed for the series, and keep it true to its feel, then i wouldn't have any gripes with it.

I normally used the BB-gun to shoot peoples eyes out

So many things made Fallout great. The varied comic dialogue, the sheer difficulty of some of the encounters, the selection of crude and advanced weapons, and the fantastic gory death animations are to name a few. If they strip too much of it out for Fallout 3, then it'll be a sequel in name only.

Yeah and all of the funny random encounters in the desert like The Cafe Of Broken Dreams, Canadian Invasion, Civil war etc......

never played fallout
whats it like?

i never said they should strip out all the great gameplay elements of fallout.

i just said, i could play FPS Fallout (yes Stalker does come close, but its missing that certain something, the humour, style, sarcasm)

I don't think Isometric view is required for those elements to exist. frankly Iso view exists quite independent of various gameplay elements. It is my belief had the tech been sufficiently advanced  developer of fallout would not have choosen to with Iso View. And only reason they use Isometric view was to ensure it ran on as wide variety of computers as possible.
