I keep seeing the term SPECIAL thrown around.  I'm not all up and down on the ling-o, so I don't know the specifics of what SPECIAL is.  I was under the impression that SPECIAL was the system the game used.  Which included everything from the stats, skills, and turn based mechanics.  What is SPECIAL?  Also, if it transitioned to first person view, wouldn't the combat have to be more like Deus Ex or Bloodlines (if it used stats at all, that is) as well?
