CPU-bound, runs like a dog in M&O's case because of no occlusion culling. If they have OC in F3, it might be OK.
as long as you haven't run out of AL n then start having to use sick leave!
It's either FPS or 3rd person a la over the shoulder

I think I'll wait and get it via steam, but this is definitely on my list. I thought the gameplay vids were excellent.
Hello there 
Yeh this is looking good, looking forward to punching someone's head off
Someone has made a character builder for it, here's the link

i didnt know about fallout3 untill a mate said at work. What are the specs needed?
They refuse to comment on specs at this point - however, an educated guess would be... if you can get oblivion then use that as a template.

So is this just like Oblivion but set in a post-apocalyptic world?

I'd hope not..
Read up only about the original two Fallout games to see why people are excited about this.
kinda but comments like that can get oneself flamed by the fanatics lol! Basically you're looking at a post apocalyptic RPG that is rich in lore from the previous chapters.
Standalone this should be great fun.
Taken into context of the previous games should enable you to appreciate things on a whole different level.
To anyone who hasn't had the pleasure of embarking in the post apoc lands of america previously, it would be in your interest to - trust me
**EDIT**
When I say kinda I mean that the similarities are:
- Both are RPGs
- Both allow you to choose whether to follow the main quests or basically free-roam the landscape
- Both are open world environments to explore
- Both are by the same developer

TBH i do think that this is gonna be something special. The reason for this is:
- It already has a great backstory/lore established.
- Threre will be new downloadable content released.
- If it follows suit of Oblivion - imagine the amount of mods!!!!!!!!!!!
- The single player will offer sooo many different endings that re-playability genuinely should be achievable unlike many previous games that offer multiple alternate endings.
