Forget about it:

Pete Hines: Again, it's early to say, but it wouldn't be a leap of faith to say that we plan to use technologies in development otherwise. You could make some fairly safe leaps of faith that it would be similar in style. We're not going to go away from what it is that we do best. We're not going to suddenly do a top-down isometric Baldur's Gate-style game, because that's not what we do well.

It will be Oblivion with guns n mutants. But if they improve the voice-acting, characters and plot from Oblivion as much as they improved them from Morrowind to Obivion, it might just be a very good game.

I'll say one thing for Bethesda - they just don't do small. They should at least get the epic quality required for a Fallout. They are also capable of some of creating some of the dark, freaky qualities that Fallout requires (think of Morrowind's Daedric ruins in a sandstorm or indeed Oblivion itself).

EDIT: Lemur beat me to the punch!
