I used to be close minded to the idea of playing an FPS too since I grew up playing RPG's like Fallout and Final Fantasy so the first person view didn't seem to fit an RPG in my mind. But then Fallout New Vegas came out and I was so enticed by the idea of a direct sequel to Fallout 2 that I got it. The 3rd person view was so clunky I switched to the FPS view and got used to it. I still prefer a 3rd person view for RPG's but I'm not closed to the idea anymore and will give this a try.

I was quite the opposite - I was kinda late to the CRPG party (though I've played D&D with friends), dabbled with them a bit on C64, but really started only with Dungeon Master on Amiga back around 87/88. Back then A LOT of CRPG were actually from FPP and that felt quite normal.

Rewind a decade later and here comes Fallout 1 - for some reason I never actually read anything about it prior to playing it, and after that Overseer intro, which is in FPP, game starts - in 3D ISO perspective - oh, dear - I've just finished M&M VI, and was keen for more party based FPP RPGs, so you could imagine my disappointment.

To cut the story short, after hour or so I got into it and to this day Fallout 1 is one of my favourite RPGs and video games I ever had a pleasure to experience.
