I doubt you have that particular issue to fear. FO is top-down isometric view and MW is first-person. If FO was made using a MW-style engine, it wouldn't *be* FO anymore, except in name. I don't honestly think Bethesda could be *that* stupid. The bigger worry is that they'd keep the format the same as in FO/FO2, but lose the irreverent, tongue-in-cheek humor that made the original so popular. IOW, put out a POS game like Lionheart (built using the FO engine by an "no-name" developer, instead of Black Isle, for Interplay), which was not only tedious and boring, but horrendously buggy (adding insult to injury).

But Bethesda does have a tendency to try to get things right, and to take however long it takes to do so (as opposed to rushing stuff to market). Morrowind (and their earlier games) may have their flaws, but they weren't *bad* games.

It's JA3 I'm worried about, not FO3. I see the same thing happening with JA3 that happened with Lionheart, and for the same reason.
