I feel the same way about NV. I want an old-school Fallout.
Oh come on now. Despite it's numerous flaws, mostly bug related, at least NV had it's heart in the right place. A
lot more so than Fallout 3.
While I agree, that the numerous references and stylistic changes were very welcome, I still couldn't get over the fact that it's largely a First Person Shooter, much like 3. Yes, while you could taste the love by Interplay, the taste of Bethesda was still on there and not subtle. Basically, what I would want, is an Isometric view and turn-based combat among other smaller touches. Why on earth did that genre die, when the touch-screen-craze is sweeping the world?
Because honestly, Fallout 1 and 2's combat is simply incredibly archaic. It's clunky, slow, and not all that tactical to begin with. It has nothing to offer in this day and age, touch-screens or not.
Mind you, turn-based combat
could work, but it needs one helluva update. Isometric view is exit anyway. I really don't know why people want that back, outside of nostalgic reasons. Really people, it's a stiff and clunky thing. What the hell is so bad about being able to see shit from any angle you want, including isometric-style. What's so bad about giving people options to do as they please? Isn't that what Fallout is about in the first place?

*ahem*
I must say by the way, that I used VATS a
lot more than the actual first person shooting. Baddies moving with lightning speed and framerate issues and all.
On the PS3.
