can anyone explain exactly what kind of game play were looking at here ?
iv been following ,albeit from a distance these threads bouncing from one topic to the next trying to figure out what i can except iv picked up on this "earth rise " engine talk and done some poking around and im still none the wiser .
what format is this game going to take on is it going to be a kind of point and click affair ? or a more "hands on " job by this i mean are we talking the slow and passive style of the earlier fallouts or a more involved and active role actual real time combat more like the later fallouts ?
or to put it another way im hoping to see a reincarnation of the latest one set in the desert ( the one im not sure if im allowed to mention ) but obviously as a mmo version with all the grey choices and black humour that iv developed a fondness for . EAGLES MAY FLY HIGH, BUT WEASLES DONT GET svckED INTO JET ENGINES

If you take the time to rewrite some of that in English, I'll try to answer some of your questions.

They haven't announced anything gameplay related if memory serves right.

i assume the gameplay will be more action oriented. you can probably assume that VATS wont exist,at least not in PVP.
