i can't seem to get a straight answer about:
1) is fallout an FPS or turn-based RPG?
2) will it run on Vista?
1. It IS a fps with turn based (basically just a PAUSE while you target
body parts on the enemy) elements when (if) you go into VATs (the optional targeting system). You do not have to use VATs, so you can use your weapons just like a normal fps if you like. Only real fps lacking thing is the way you switch between weapons. You have to manually go into your inventory and equip each weapon you want to use (unless there's some other way I'm not familiar with), which can get tedious.
2. Yes, it will run on Vista...I actually ran it on Vista, then I switched
to Windows 7 RC1 (also works great)
