Sorry, but Fallout 3 was nowhere near the first two Fallouts when it comes to "Choices and Consequences".

It was fun blowing stuff up in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. But it wasn't a true successor.

Agreed, but as Aaronontheweb said, take a look at Fallout New Vegas. Several of the people involved with the original Fallouts now work AT Obsidian, and it seems they want to bring a lot of the old feel back. Just to take a single example, Stimpacks will be very rare now, and will slowly give back hitpoints - they won't give you +100hp in the middle of a gunfight. Radiation will be a lot more lethal too.
