I don't know what to expect from Fallout 3. I enjoy Bethesda's work but, to me, Oblivion felt like a castrated version of Morrowind. They sorta took out the grit and replaced it with an air of constant happiness. Even when 3 Oblivion gates are outside Chorral, the people still have time to talk about how much what's-her-name loves her dogs. It was the grit and grime that sucked me into the Morrowind. It was the plagues, the cult activity, the daedric lore, and the opressive air that hooked me to The Elder Scrolls and I felt a bit cheated by Oblivion. If Bethesda makes Fallout like Oblivion i.e. happy, the entire series would be kicked in the groin. However, Bethesda seems to recognize this and has been treating the game with great care. I look forward to the title regardless of the outcome. I'm just happy to be playing a game that does not have leveled difficulty. (You hear that Bethesda? Leveled difficulty SUCKS! Do NOT make TES:5 leveled!) Anyway, I can't wait until Fall for this game. I have even been hearing rumors of an early release. If these rumors are true, we may only have to wait a few weeks.
