If the camera is at an isometric perspective then it has the same limitations of a 2D game, which would be dumb. Playing from a behind-the-character perspective in a game like Fallout where you have this great world that's just begging to be explored changes the game dramatically. Just look at the GTA series. GTA 3 plays pretty much the same as GTAs 1 & 2, but the shift of perspective made the experience completely different.
