I don't care how much power Fallout 3 uses... Just don't mess up the franchise, you bastard. I really don't trust Bethesda's ability to remain true to the Fallout name... They're not exactly known for their acerbic wit.

I'm sure the gameplay will be great but it wouldn't surprise me at all if Fallout 3 turns out to be a soulless shell of the former games.

I don't know. If I go back to Bethesda's idea on what Daggerfall (Elder 2) was, Oblivion hits pretty close to that.

But neither are anything like Fallout... The Fallout series is as much about getting yourself into stupid (and humorous) situations as it is about kickin' ass.

I doubt Bethesda's ability to balance the two. Even one of their producers admitted to the overall lack of humor within the company. That's not exactly a ringing endorsement for a company that just picked up the Fallout franchise.

I'm not doubting Bethesda's RPG-programming ability, just whether they're right for Fallout or not.

 I guess what I was getting at is that they are unlike EA when it comes to "changing" games.  Hopefully they either hire or consult with the original creators.  I just noted how they tend to keep games as they were intended.  (I'm sure someone is going to find an example of something they did change wildly though... I just speak from my experience with Bethesda...)
