Well, for a start, I'm pretty sure it's a third person shooter rather than first person shooter. You'll spend a lot of time talking and walking around rather than shooting. I'd say it's more RPG than any Tomb Raider game, easily, and I wouldn't call them standard third person shooters either. But yeah, 50/50. I can't say I've played Fallout 3, mind you.
Ah cool. Does it have an actual intriguing plot or just a "here's a sad excuse for a story we pulled out of our ass for the sake of a few cutscenes to continue the shooting along" plot? Also is there an actual main character or is it one of those "you are the character now make your own character who will say little to nothing the entire game" deals?

I'm honestly really interested but I can't find these answers anywhere.
