Not staying true to the setting and the story line. The art and graphics are far from representative of the style and mood of the original games.
Wrenching out the turn based gameplay and thereby making it far more twitch based (don't even try with VATs, from previews it's a far cry from a skill based, tactical system)
Killing the dialogue to the point where it's far from anywhere near the depth available in earlier games.
Really, a better question would be, why do you like fallout 3 if your a fan of the fallout series? As a game, Fallout 3 might be good, but it's by no means a fallout game. It would be like asking a fan of halo why he's upset that halo 3 is going to be made as a turn based strategy game in the vein of civilization.
