Even after being warned by the OP, I read the links because I'm really bored. Here's some random comments:
IMO the character creation/intro sequence sounds interesting, and I'd like to see it in action.
Dogmeat, yay.
Even if the combat is handled from a third person or, even worse, first person view, it's still probably better than the completely unbalanced combat system from previous Fallout games. If the VATS combat system works with a degree of tactics and planning (ie. not typical console shooter crap), fine by me. BUT If the game devolves into Gears of Oblivion 2: The Shotgun Edition, someone will pay. Dearly.
If they take out the isometric view, fine. It isn't that vital to FO games anyway.
They're keeping the SPECIAL system in, so that's fine. Hopefully they won't dumb it down too much, like they did with the Elder Scroll series.
Just please, PLEASE don't turn Fallout 3 into a yet another boring, gray, humorless, piss-easy, static, repetitive testosterone-fest like GoW or Resistance. Just don't.
EDIT: Read shio's post.
Goddammit.
