You know, I couldn't play Fallout 3. This is largely because FPS's make me nauseous.
While Fallout 3 pretended to cater to a non-FPS crowd it was, at its heart, an FPS. I say this because the third-person view controls were SO bad that I pretty much had to abandon them immediately. Meanwhile VATS was sufficient but far from a perfect solution to the problem.
Overall, I was really disappointed with F3's lack of catering to a non-FPS audience, especially considering that Fallout 1 and 2 were both third-person, hexmappy RPGs.
