In F3, each battle is a unique experience. One fight with a super mutant can last several minutes in which I can cross a large area using various cover and tactics (ie shooting cars till they blow) and using all my weapons, like going for headshots with my hunting rifle, scattering some mines about, and when each of them fail going to my 10mm pistol to go for those few last desperate headshots. In other words combat is so much more alive and epic in F3, and neither me nor my opponent are ever forced into a killcam, thus the experience remains seamless.

In Skyrim fights with anything that isn't a dragon priest tend to be 10 second affairs, where there's some room for experimentation, but not nearly as much as F3.

Discuss.

Thanks for reminding us that the Fallout forum exists.

Oh wait.

I will say I agree with you about killcams but looking at how popular they are amongst new fans of the series (OMG I'm decapitating a guy in my level 9000 Daedric Armour Lolz) I doubt they're ever getting removed and if there is ever a Fallout 4 will likely be added to it along with TES 6. To me along with the opening of the game it has no place in a Bethesda RPG and I hate them, but they ain't going anywhere.

As for Fallout 3, meh. I enjoyed the combat but it wasn't anything to go brag about, same thing with Skyrim.

I used mainly mage types in Skyrim so my battles were never oner in 10 seconds. The FO battles in both 3 and NV are good but the games are completely different to Skyrim of course.

You can of course make the battles as difficult as you want in Skyrim by altering the difficulty setting to your liking if you find them too easy.

ohh look, another Ethetan thread...

Ethetan, if you don't like Skyrim Don't play it.. considering all your threads in this forum are "Fallout is so much better then Skyrim lolz!", maybe you will find discussion more to your tastes if you stay in the Fallout forums..

By the 10.

I think Fallout is BORING! BORING! BORING!
How is shooting someone with a 10mm with 25+ bullets without missing a good thing?

Fallout is off-topic for this forum.
