I stumbled across an interview with one of the lead designers of Fallout 3 the other day (unfortunately, I neglected to bookmark it; I'll try to find it again), which angered me because it was apparently so close to being done when BIS was downsized to a "brand" (it was stated in the interview that the game engine was 95% done, dialogue 75% done, nearly all maps done, etc).
Then I found this game in development. It sounds like a Fallout clone (and heck, one of the screenshots is a rip off of the Rio Grande encounter in Fallout!), but if it manages to deliver a halfway-decent story and/or gameplay, and fun turn-based battles (turn-based is a big selling point for me, I can't play the OMG twitch hurry ZERG RUSH! type games), it may be worth looking into.
