Fallout 3 vs. TES IV: Oblivion

[ajapam]

I should techinically like FO3 more, because it's more my style than Oblivion, but Oblivion was great and Fallout just didn't do anything for me. I actually think it kinda sucks...

I got Oblivion first and I was amazed by it, it was the first game I spent over 300 hours playing and it's a game I still play. Now when I got Fallout I was expecting to be just as amazed.. and I was for a while.... buuuuuut, it just felt like Oblivion with guns. In fact it was more like Oblivion - guild quests - fun combat - awesome side quests - varying enemy types - NPC interaction with all of the game's NPC's + guns.... that's IMHO.

I don't mind that Fallout 3 is basically Oblivion with guns because that's basically the main reason I don't like Oblivion. It has no guns. Fallout 3 is just more cathering to my personal taste.

I can probly make a gun mod for you so you can have guns in Oblivion...

Thanks, but no thanks. That would feel out of place in the game's setting. That's the main problem for me with the Elder Scrolls series (including Skyrim). I really can't stand fantasy settings. They feel way too cliché'd for me. I feel more at home in a post-apocalyptic setting like Fallout or dystopian setting like Deus Ex.

Yeah, I can't wait for DX:HR either... I think the combining weapons thing is going to be awesome...

[Alyxx Thorne]

I agree with DX:HR. It's probably the game that, next to DNF, I am looking forward to the most.

But the gunplay sucks.

Since when? I don't mind it at all.

Meh, that's your opinion I guess. I just don't find the shooting to be a particulary rewarding experience.

[Alyxx Thorne]

With the bloody mess perk activated, firing a combat shotgun at someone and watching them blow up is a very rewarding experience for me.

Heh yeah I guess that was pretty awesome

[Alyxx Thorne]

That's one of my complaints with Fo3 though. In Fo1 and 2 you can choose Bloody Mess from the beginning but in Fo3 you have to go up some levels before you can activate it.

Skyrim will beat both though. Hands down

I have no doubt, though I personally find it very hard to like any game that features dragons and knights in shining armour. Just my taste preventing me from buying into the hype.

They're going to add dragons to the series?

Yes. Skyrim will basically be about dragons vs humans.

[BTGBullseye]

Yes. Skyrim will basically be about dragons vs humans.

That will be... Different...

[Alyxx Thorne]

And will probably further raise my aversion to the Elder Scrolls franchise as a whole no matter the hype.

Yeah... I think dragons have been done to death as far as I'm concerned... I'll still probly torrent it though, just to see.
