Sounds like an early Morrowind. Only with... like, guns and teammates and stuff. I usually don't go for RPGs, but post-apocalyptic = goodness.
I think I'll keep an eye out for Fallout 3.

Me thinks that Fallout is unlike any RPG you have encountered, most certainly
not like Morrowind , Baldur`s Gate- Icewind Dale and their ilk.
"Let me enlighten you, grasshopper. Fallout 2 is cool because it's a nonlinear, nonclassbased kickass postnuclear computer roleplaying game with a high replayabillity value. Fallout 2 allows you to play your character the way you want. If you want to play a goodie-two-shoes, you can. If you want to play an evil bastard, you can (Yes, you really can hit children in the groin with a sledgehammer). If you want to play a moron who can hardly talk because of his low intelligence, you can."
--Shadowman
You can play as a hot babe and basically bonk you way through the new west
You can play as some wimp who can talk like a uber slick snake oil salesman
and BS your way through.
You can play as hand-to-hand only ( mighty tough at first, since most everyone is tote`n big honking guns.)
Hell you can play with" a sharp pointy stick", not recommended, see above

an idea about Character design, WARNING this is a walkthrough and spoilers
abound!!! so don`t go past character design if you don`t want to know.
Replay, oh yes, not talking about
:
" Gee, think i`ll play as a half gnome-elf wizard with gills this time", and then
go and pick The Great Mace of Gonad Bashing and play the same way ya did
when you were the mindless hulking barbarian berserker, with a slight lisp, and bad hair.
There are so many ways to approach these games it`s mind boggling .
As the mighty HO of BOness pointed out the games are downright hilarious.
This link is a list of the Easter Eggs in Fallout2

For a game it`s huge, the developers have quite a grip on pop culture, TV ,
movies, and cool stuff in general.
As for the graphics, keep in mind the games are ten year old, what was cutting edge then is a little weak by Gears of War standards, but still quite
playable, and you don`t need some honcho space shuttle computer to play it.
If you want to get on board one can pick up the Fallout Collection (Fallout,
Fallout2, Fallout Tactics {a last ditch effort by Interplay to milk the last drop
of moola out of Fallout}) on eBay for about 25 bucks or so. Be advised this
is a DVD repeat a DVD not a CD. So if ya ain`t got no DVD player on your puter your S.O.L.
"WAR........................ WAR never changes ..................."
You vault dwellers will learn to love that statement, Ron" Hellboy" Pearlman
sez that at the start of each game,
OUT.
FALLOUT 3 ??????
Fallout is really good game, but I'm afraid Bethesda's Fallout 3 will not be like previous Fallouts (F1,F2). Look at Fallout Tactics - thats really horrible to see mutation of Fallout like that...
