I loved Oblivion and I'm looking to get Fallout 3. I just want second opinions first...

Oblivion is a pathetic piece of :spotted owl:, Fallout 3 is great.

see...that doesn't help me...cuz i liked oblivion...so i have to ignore ur opinion

plus...a pathetic piece of :spotted owl: ???

Help you? I wasn't trying to help, I was stating my opinion.


I'm afraid that's censored.

But you asked for second opinions.

I've spent more time on Oblivion than i'll probably ever spend on F3 buuuuut; Oblivion offers a more strewn out experience whereas F3 is much tighter- which for me is better as everything is a layer deeper than Oblivion like I don't feel i'm speaking to the same red guard or wood elf over and over (anyone else get scared when Lucien popped out of Mr Burke?)

FO3 >>> OB. But that doesn't mean it puts it to shame, OB was a very solid game. I voted that it's pretty much Oblivion with guns, because it is. The recycled animations, voices and general feel of combat are blatantly obvious. But along with this similarity is a host of improvements. FO3 FTW over OB.

Agreed on all points. Not sure which I like better though..

Washington and parts of Canada and Alaska would be awesome. I would love to see some snow in Fallout especially since there should be a lot of snow instead of just a wasteland if there was nuclear war because of the screwed up climates. So I say the NW side of the U.S.A.

I loved Oblivion, loved it. I've made... I think 6 or 7 characters, played for probably 250 hours. With Fallout 3, it looks like it'll probably be similar. I'm already on my third character and I'm definitely going to play again. It's a world I will definitely want to come back to again and again. If you loved the open-worldness of Oblivion and you think it'd be fun to play a post-apoc RPG then Fallout 3 is the game for you. This is probably my game of the year. I love it.

you guys all piss me off so bad...

i want you to tell me that its not good so i dont rip my hair out till thanksgiving when my dad lets me get it lol

thx for the opinions

I played Oblivion and loved it. I love Fallout 3. If you like Oblivion you will like this. Fallout 3 needs mod polish though, sunrise and set is one thing.

You answers and poll are flawed, as is your attitude. First off, you make a poll and then just tell people that their OPINIONS (which you asked for) piss you off?! Second, horses for courses - some people will tell you that Oblivion is bad, while others will tell you the same about Fallout 3. In the end, it depends - myself, I think that you can't compare the two, anyhow to answer your question:

Oblivion is good, so is Fallout 3.

Yeah whats the deal with no actual sun... i guessed its cuz of the dust in the air.. u know... wastelands... wind.... dust... cant see the sun.

I really hope they make alot of mods for this game.

I voted for FO > OB


Fallout is a sweet game, recommended. For PC ofcourse, cuz on a console u cant (or i dont know) mod it.

FO3 is the really the best game i've ever played it's not hard to understand and you dont loose the overview fast I dont like Oblivion beacause after hours i dont know how its go on.
When i could i would buy it again xD

Terrible poll. Needs more Options rather than the black or white. While the games are similar, they have enough differences that put them in two totally different categories.

Oblivion was a great game but it had SOOO many immersion problems that it needed massive modding to make it playable beyond a couple weeks. FO3 will benefit greatly from some modded tweaks here and there but won't need the massive overhaul Oblivion did. Also I think they tweaked the engine and cleaned up the program so that it runs smoother even with higher settings. Bethesda paid attention to some of the problems with Oblivion and made some very nice subtle changes with FO 3 that enhance the immersion factor. I do, however, look forward to what I'm sure are going to be some fantastic mods. Especially things that deal with a more realistic economy and payment to alleviate some of that "Grind."

Given the choices above if I had to chose...much as I hate to say it.....Choice number one it must be for me.

But there is a very beautiful and detailed moon.

I didn't vote in the poll. The choices didn't seem right.

Just playin...

Don't make fun of owls! It wasn't that bad.

Off Topic: Is there a M'aiq' type easter egg in Fallout 3?


I played one character for 250 hours.
It sounds like it is a lot smaller, but I don't own the game.


I agree, but I am seriously debating buying it for the PS3 because of the lack of support.


I think he was joking.


Uhh, spam much?

Fallout 3 definitely over Oblivion. However, Elder Scrolls over Fallout. The hilarious thing is that both Fallout 3 and Oblivion are the low-points of each series.

Whilst I think Fallout is a great evolution of the Oblivion engine and game style I don't want to say it pisses over it.

I know Oblivion gets a tremendous amount of hate by some people online but imo it was an absolutely awesome and incredible game.

Yes they made some mistakes with level scaling but to be fair to Bethesda it was a hugely ambitious title that was set to be huge on both pc, 360 and ps3 and they needed to design a game setup and core mechanics that would appeal to the vast majority of gamers.

hardcoe RPG players on the pc may have felt a bit disgruntled over some of the levelling choices but they gave us a construction kit that allowed us to mod the game to our hearts content and make it exactly how we wanted it to be in the end.

I spent more time playing Oblivion that I have played any other game in my entire life, probably 200 hours with all characters combined.

Even those who claim its crap typically invested 50 hours or more which really highlights the absurdity of their argument.

It was a stunning game, that was aimed at a mainstream market to maximise commerical and critical success (as you'd expect) but with the ability for hardcoe PRG'ers on the pc to change it as they saw fit. When you facotr in the expansion pack and all the downloadable content as well it must surely represent the best value for money game in terms of content for your buck of all time.

Fallout 3 continues and builds on that great tradition. I absolutely love this game, it's epic beyond what I even hoped it would be.

How the [censored] can you guys like Fallout 3 more than Oblivion?

I like both these games but let's be honest here, which game's ending did you like more? I don't mind not being able to play after the end of the game, but at least make it worthwhile. (FO3's ending.... it was like they ran out of money and quit)

The main quests for both of these games really left more to be desired, but there is plenty to find and explore in each, so it's ok.

Depends really on what you like. Medieval times or Futuristic. Personally, I like Oblivion better because there are WAY more quests, items, things to do, places, etc...

Don't get me wrong or anything, Fallout 3 is one of my top games. I LOVE guns. Bethesda could have made it better by adding more items, quests, run speed, and so on...

did u read after i said i was pissed off?

i was joking...i said i wantd u to tell me it was bad so i wouldnt want it so badly lol
