Looking at the new screen shots leaked out I think it looks lot like Fallout. Especially the screen with the house close by some rocks.

I don't like it, because I liked the colorful forests in Oblivion and not the rocky and empty land of Fallout.

Who agrees or doesn't?

I disagree. it doesn't look like fallout.

How this looks like Fallout is beyond me.

Where these topics come from?
I think there was already 5 or 10 of those
And they keep coming
So for a last time

TES IS NOT FO.
DIFFERENT SETTINGS, DIFFERENT STYLES.
SO PLEASE DON'T BRING THIS NONSENSE UP ANYMORE

P.S. Sorry for caps

Fallout is a completely different flavor. Please elaborate.

I don't think this is something you need to worry about. Have you seen all the screenshots of the colorful forests, rivers, and mountains? It's gonna be a beautiful game, in a very different way than FO3. I think the only real similarity is the way the rocks look, which is natural, so it works.

So... Because it has rocks...?

So every game with rocks now looks like fallout. I bet bethesda laugh at these kinda threads.

Realistically Fallout 3 should look much like Oblivion. Lots of forest and some swamps around Washington DC and as it’s sett 200 years after the nuclear war the forest should have grown back leaving overgrown ruins, new towns would be built mostly from scratch but might use some old structures.

yeah but perks worked well and incourages you to be a type of character, not a UBER GOD OF AMAZING EVERYTHING, THAT CAN BE A MAGIC AXE WEILDING THEIF! yeah caplock was needed for that, cause its silly. Perks stop this but still lets you make a choice on if you screw up first time.

I agree

It doesn't look like Oblivion to me, which is a good thing. It also doesn't look like Fallout 3 with those damned overdone sickly-green tints everywhere, which is a very good thing.

So I guess I'm in the "disagree" department.

Your blowing things out of proportion..

They are just making the landscape and texture grittier and darker. Elder Scrolls isn't becoming Fallout.

For your information Oblivion had perks too

Also, wasn't the main thing with Fallout that it looked like Oblivion...
... this is confusing...

erm... you DO realise that they're going for a slightly darker feeling right?

and NO, this does NOT look like Fallout. AT ALL. Even with it being not as colourful, it looks a lot more alive, a lot less... devastated?

AND TO THE ABOVE, OBLIVIN HAD PERKS', YOU JUST DIDN'T CHOOSE THEM, YOU GAINED THEM EVERY 25 SKILL LEVELS

(and no need to keep swearing at Fallout... it's still an awesome game, just very different...)

The main reason we have Elder scrolls is because it's not fallout? The Fallout leveling system is staying to it's own game. Mechanics can run over imo. As long as I don't see radiation and guns I'm fine.

I have to agree, none of those screenshots remind me of Fallout, I guess I could sort of see how you could say the recent screenshot showing a single house is a bit Fallout-like, but that's only because it's located on a fairly barren landscape, something that lots of games, fantasy games included, have done, in fact, Bethesda has done that in the Elder Scrolls before, ever played Morrowind? If you did, you might remember a region called the Ashlands, that was pretty barren, but I've never felt like I was playing Fallout when exploring the Ashlands. Not every game that features some barren landscapes looks like Fallout, and as others have pointed out, there are lots of screenshots depicting locations that seem in no way reminiscent of the wastelands we've seen in Fallout, so I'd say your fears are without justification.

Now, Bethesda has brought in a few elements similar to Fallout, well, no classes and perks, at least, but those are gameplay elements, just because the game plays similarly to Fallout doesn't mean it looks like it, and even then, those things are hardly things only Fallout is allowed to do, and I highly doubt I'll feel like I'm playing Fallout just because I get to choose a perk upon leveling up, Fallout and the Elder Scrolls are fundamentally different in enough ways to still feel like different series even if a few elements of one series migrate into the other, I think. really, as far as I see it, bringing perks into the Elder Scrolls is not making it like Fallout, rather, it's bringing in an element that worked in Fallout and could potentialy work for the Elder Scrolls too.

dude
people are disagreeing with you
does that boggle your mind?

it looks almost exactly like fallout
not kind of like fallout
almost exactly

that shot of the house on the hill could be a fallout mod

its not going to be empty, i dont think you have to worry about that
oblivion was mostly forest and it all looked pretty much the same
im excited about the variety of environments

i really like the screens so far
but yes it does look a lot like fallout

That's not what he said, or implied.

I honestly couldn't care less about them removing 2 skills I never used. I never said that I would prefer the Fallout leveling system, I said it will stay to it's own.


And, the majority of people are summing your fears up. It's just a grittier game. They haven't copy pasted the setting from fallout.

why would it potentially work for the elder scrolls when all other elder scrolls had the old leveling system and it worked and got the company alot of sales, alot of fans, and also goty(game of the year). so dude the old leveling system worked and if it has perks then it would feel like playing fallout.

OK, I decided to clean this up, remove the vulgar posts and hope that the OP returns to defend his opinion. Stay constructive guys.

From what I have seen of the screens the game doesn't look like Fallout in any way, other than it has scenery, NPCs and creatures. OK, so perks are introduce this time but until I get to play the game I have no idea how they are going to fit in or even compare to the previous system. I, for one, are glad that BGS is moving on and introducing and refining new ideas and game play.
