Fallout 3 will hold a special place in my heart forever! :fallout:

Tough choices here.

In terms of music: FNV all day!

It says something about Oblivion that even though I generally prefer fantasy to SF I didn't vote for it.

The choice between FO3 and NV was tough for me but in the end it goes to NV as it captured the branching quests, better dialog and impacts on the game world that the 1 and 2 had. FO4 is the game I look forward to more than any other out there. Please, please Beth, let the Obsidian crew do the writing and quest design.

Awww, I preferred F:3's music. :happy:

Enjoyed both though, so agree to disagree!

I think that Skyrim is the most polished game, Fallout: New Vegas is the best role playing game and Fallout 3 is a general improvement over Oblivion.

I guess I'm just more into the folky stuff ^^ but enjoyed both also.

On a side note, I think I'm more excited for the new fallout than I was for skyrim, it's killing me to not know the details.

I picked both fallout 3 simply because I have only played 10+ hours on skyrim so cant compare that to my fallout an its +400 hours.
New Vegas was a piece of S#!t and I have only played oblivion at a mates house.

Tricky.

Skyrim still needs to have a bit more choice in how quests play out.
In some questlines, you're railroaded.
Choiceless.
Well, you can just walk off and ignore it, but it's the quests way or the highway.
Not going into spoilers, but I'm sure anyone reading this will have run into one or two like this.

NewVegas had it's problems, but it had a bit more variety in how you ended a quest or questline.

I still went for Skyrim in the vote though.
I love Fallout, but am a svcker for fantasy settings.

From the top poll I would choose Fallout 3, simply because I love the setting and even if it's a bleak and depressive world the game has such a nice feel to it.
I guess it's also nostalgia related so maybe in a few years I will choose Skyrim. That is, if any good mods for the terrible UI gets released.

Skyrim and Oblivion for me. I just love Fantasy. :tes:

» Thu Dec 15, 2011 5:13 am

I am loving Skyrim, but I just love Fallout: New Vegas more.

» Thu Dec 15, 2011 6:09 am

Even though I didn't create the games, this is like asking me to choose between my children. Right now I'm just loving Skyrim because it's new and exciting and undiscovered. I absolutely LOVE Oblivion and it will always be dear to me. I love FO3 and it's for a dark mood time of play and what I love about FNV is the companions and their personal quests and kicking slavers butts. Nope, sorry, can't choose, love them all for a lot of reasons.

Not sure how to pick a favorite, but I'd definitely put FO:NV at the bottom of the four. Mostly because I play Beth (and Beth-style) games more for the Random World Exploration than for the quests. And FO:NV is more about the quests - the world outside quest-related things is kind of boring. (Now, it may be unfair to be going into FO:NV expecting a "Beth-style" game just because it used the FO3 engine.)

...and the shame of it is, I have FO:NV installed right now but not FO3. Because I haven't figured out how to get it running on my new PC. Apparently it doesn't like quad-core processors and/or Win 7 x64. :tongue:

I chose Oblivion over Fallout 3 solely on the basis of the amount of time I spent playing each game. The caveat, though, is that I love mods and modded both games extensively. While I was able to build my Oblivion into a great game, my answer would probably have been different if I had been confined to the vanilla versions of the two games.

I actually spent hundreds of hours more on Oblivion than Fallout 3 but they still end up tied. It's just impossible to choose. They're just an experience you can not be without.

Fallout 3 will hold a special place in my heart forever! :fallout:

New Vegas is the better RPG.
It has by far more choices in quests than either of the others do.
It has far better and more branchind dialogue.
It has reputation system with disguises.

:mellow:

But I'm not suprised at the results... Since it was posted on the Skyrim forum.

» Thu Dec 15, 2011 12:06 am

For me it's New Vegas > Skyrim > Fallout 3 > Oblivion.

That's vanilla, by the way. New Vegas with mods beats everything out there but I think there's even bigger potential in Skyrim.

» Thu Dec 15, 2011 2:18 am

I didn't quite like the Fallouts. Even FO2 was better, and I didn't actually particularly enjoy It.

» Wed Dec 14, 2011 9:50 pm

New Vegas on both accoutns. Hands down.

» Thu Dec 15, 2011 12:11 am

I voted Skyrim and Oblivion, although Oblivion is my least favourite of the TES games i have played.. i prefer the TES series as a whole over any other. I did enjoy fallout 3 and NV though.

I have those things and FO3 is working for me. I didn't have to do anything but load it. I wish I knew about these things so I could help you get it going. I'm sure someone in the FO3 forums does though.

They left a lot out of FNV, empty houses, empty containers, it's just a lot more empty...the quests are good though, I agree.
