So the prequel they are talking about is the original Die Hard where he dies and becomes a spooky ghost guy?

They're an afterthought in Borderlands. There's really just HP, and whatever weapon it fires. Borderlands has too many kids online, but it's a great story, great game imo. In any event...I think Fallout 2 handled it fine, and we haven't needed a vehicle since.
Remember in Mad Max and Fallout 2, you were in Australia/Death Valley. You had tons of open room and cars are required to go ANYWHERE. With most Fallout games you are centered around cities, where there will be so much shit in the way, having a car would hinder you. Which is why you'd see the traders using Brahmin instead of a truck.

A motorcycle might work, much like a horse in Skyrim. Ther vertibirds might be pilotable from what we see in the 22 minute trailer. That would work well.
Cars wouldn't work.
In Mad Max, the world is way huge, but way empty to leave plenty of room for car to car combat, one of the big draws. Plus the Mad Max world is mostly desert, like wide open desert, because its set in Australia which is already mostly flat and mostly desert, even before the bombs drop.
Even with a larger map this go round, there will be too many buildings, too much stuff in the way.
A vehicle based Fallout would require being set in the West like the original Fallouts, and Bethesda isn't going to do that any time soon. They're committed to the East Coast as a way of breaking free from the storyline for NCR and all that in the old games.
But since Skyrim has horses, it wouldn't surprise me if motorcycles were in it (though I think they'd have made a big promotional push about them if they were) and it wouldn't surprise me if a motorcycle gets modded in shortly after launch.

See, the sad thing is none of the weapon designs for Fallout mean shit. Every melee weapon is going to play exactly the same, swing til mob dies.
I wish Bethesda would learn how to make a decent fucking combat system.
I'm really looking forward to the release in 2 weeks, but I have no illusions but this being any better than the previous titles.
I'm not Sure vehicles are really needed. At first there is so much content and exploration you simply don't need to move much faster than run speed. Later in the game fast travel makes moving around trivial.
I don't think the world is big enough for much more than a scooter or motorcycle. Maybe a segway.

Ran across this for the min/max in all of us.
