Am i like the only one who hasnt played fallout. I wasnt really impressed buy it at E3. So what makes its so popular. Can anyone fill Me in? What makes it great?

The fact you get to choose between 7 fine ladies to marry and have children with!!!

I cannot wait!!

The fact that the first 2 were arguably the greatest role playing games in the world.
Also, alot of the people goings crazy about it are only doing so because they think it's oblivion with guns. Which it's not.

In one fell swoop you've just taken my interest level from sub-catatonic to highly motivated.

The Humor and Rpg Elements they put into the first 2, along with the gore level were wonderfull, this looks like a Next gen version

Glad to hear. Try and get your hands of fallout 2, great game. You can actually talk the last boss to death. how much does that tell you about its choice?

Its about immersive atmosphere (that was great even in 1997) and the awesome RPG elements. I mean, you can be a slaver, gangster, pimp, hero, mutant, religious fanatic, etc. All in the same game. With a ton of interesting characters, each with their own abilities.

When I read about it a while ago I thought it sounded very awesome. But after watching the gameplay videos from E3 I'm really not that exited about it anymore. The idea of pausing the action and picking various parts of enemies' bodies to shoot based on the percentage of hitting really doesn't appeal to me. Also, I've since played Oblivion, and come to the comclusion that it's a bag of piss. So I fall into the "Fallout will never work as an FPS" camp that most hardcore fans of the series seem to belong in (despite having never even heard of the seies until this one was announced. I'll have to track down copies of the first two. They sound good.)

I would suggest getting yourself a copy of Fallout Collection - I recently replayed both Fallout 1 and Fallout 2 and they've both held up remarkably well.
