Fallout 3 - not as bad as I thought?

You may recall a while ago that I posted that I had given up hope on Fallout 3 on the basis that it was too similar to Oblivion (which I didn't like much - not my style of RPG).

However, recent previews of Fallout 3 have been very positive. But by far the most interesting preview was the one by Kotaku. Most previews harp on about how similar the game is to Oblivion -which is probably good in most cases but in my case, just turns me off the game. However, Kotaku actually looked at how similar the game was to previous Fallout games.

Their conclusion is that the game is 50:50. Apparently, the similarities with Oblivion are with regard to the viewpoint and movement. On the other hand, the similarities with Fallout are the vibe and the conversation elements. All in all, this preview has gotten me semi-excited for this game again.

And the best thing? Bethesda have announced that they will have noninvasive DRM on Fallout 3.
