I'm gonna play both

I will always be a Fallout fan. I hate games with magic and stuff, though I enjoy some movies such as Lord of the Rings. I actually hate Bethesda. Only because they control the Fallout franchise. I don't like people who don't know how to make a Fallout game own it rights (note Fallout 3 was decent but never felt like I was playing a real Fallout game). Still might rent it. Probably will just borrow it from my friend who is a hardcoe Elder Scroll fan.

I got the DLC's for FONV some weeks ago and started a new game. Now I'm totally de-hyped for Skyrim, and just want some more post-apocalysm.
I'll buy Skyrim and play it, but I almost hope it svcks so I can go on with my Courier. I wont be dissapointet if it turns out to be a great game, of course, so it's pretty much a win-win...

(Chance is that MW3 is going to outshine both of them, but I would never admit that here...)

I'll be playing Vegas. Swords and Sorcery is so bedammed old to me that I just can't get any fun out of it.

HERESY!
"Quickly my brothers, burn them alive!"
"Without delay!"

I don't expect to buy it right away... might wait until after February. I still have several games ahead of it, and I want to read the (player) reviews; If its Oblivion 2, then I'll pass.

I am interested in the engine and the CS & Havok tools, so that might get me to buy it.

I couldn't care less about Elder Scrolls. I will probably try Skyrim one day for a short time but I doubt I will like it, as I didn't like Oblivion at all.

NV up by one so far. What a close call.

In that case, allow me to balance the scales for you, good sir.

Lol. Appreciated.

Play only Fallout until the next Fallout, your sir are MAD!!
But yeah I will be playing Fallout amoungst other things since I am not 100% sure I want Skyrim.

The scales have tipped again, GO FALLOUT, GO :fallout:

Papa....you do O_____O

You are no hypno toad sir and will never possess its power.
By the January sales it will be cheaper and will have had atleast one patch since 11-11-11 meaning it will be somewhat less annoying. Yeah maybe I'll get it later....

:sadvaultboy:

First one to be playing neither, yaaaaay!

I played Morrowind and Oblivion, I enjoyed both games, so I would like to buy Skyrin. However I am almost finished Fallout New Vegas so I want wait a little until becomes cheaper, then I would buy Skyrim.

Kind of this. Not all though.
I don't like fantasy that takes itself seriously. But I like fantasy like what Terry Pratchett writes (such humor and pop culture references) and the game Magicka which doesn't take itself serious at all.
But then, I also like fantasy like Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings, I guess they are exceptions. But HP is kind of lulzy, I guess. Much of the magical things there are, and the magical characters. Then it's ok with the darker storyline when the magic doesn't take itself too serious. With Lord of the Rings I guess it's because.... it is very dark and serious? Ok, so I still hate elves (in every fiction there is, even Warhammer and I moreso hate the space-elves, the Eldar, in 40k) But mostly it's just humans, or short humans, or dwarvish humans, or humans with a bit of pointy ears.... versus disfigured evil human-esque creatures (maybe I like these orks because I'm a huge zombie fan?). Oh, and they aren't CGI. I hate CGI, or too much of it at least. The magic in LotR is also not a lot of fire balls and bolts of lightning. It's like an invisible push force, or a crystal that lights up, things like that. That is cool. As long as it isn't too visable and over the top like in the rest of all fantasy (except when it's over the top for the comedy).
Actually, I think the same about sci-fi. I don't like too much high-tech either, like people with shield auras around them or other things that shines like magic. It's cool if it has a kind of uniqueness to it, like in Fallout, where high-tech is kind of rare unless you raid the BoS or Enclave. If I take StarCraft for example, Terran was the coolest with their "dirty-looks high-tech" (the best way I can describe it), and I never liked the Protoss. I haven't ever tried StarCraft II yet though, because I never liked the look of the new Terran marines, they looked far too high-tech and over the top sci-fi. I'm very picky, and I also don't want http://fc09.deviantart.net/images3/i/2004/148/5/e/Wallpaper_Starcraft_Ghost.jpg in my games. Sci-fi or fantasy, that always has to be in.

Yes to poll, and I'll probably end up buying Skyrim GOTY for cheap when I have a better PC. Don't expect all that much from the vanilla game, as Oblivion and FO3 were letdowns.

I don't have anything against elves, magic, swords and sorcerery type stuff. Hell, I generally play a wood elf in oblivion. I just prefer Fallout, and after the disappointment with NV's gameplay performance, I'm going to wait for skyrim to get reviewed before I plop down 50+ USD.

I honestly never played an Elder Scroll game before, but I've been eyeing Skyrim with some interest.
Don't know whether I will get it straight away, but I'm going to get.

As for New Vegas I'm currently on LR with my current character and it's been a pretty long run, with all DLC and several mods. Once LR is behind me I'll probably finish up the main quest, shelve New Vegas and get back to my Steam back-catalog.

:gun:

OT: I'm gonna be playing Skyrim. The skyrim forums are also pretty much the reason I haven't been here in a while, but now it's just full of spoilers over there. Not safe. I like it here too though :tops:

I'm playing Oblivion;I've bought new vegas 1 week after the release day and I was disappointed.The game is awesome but the performance was horrible.Now it is stable(or at least more stable than before) and has a lot of great mods.Also,its price dropped from 49euros to 39euros after a couple of weeks and I think this could happen even for skyrim .So yes,I'll play new vegas after I finish Oblivion In the meantime,a lot of awesome mods(graphic mods especially..they usually come out six or seven months after the game release) will come out for skyrim ^^

I will be moving on from FNV once Skyrim comes out. It was a lot of fun, but the game has kind of run its course for me.

I still make tinker with it but, hundreds of hours latter it is time to move on.

I never could finish FNV because of the major lags and bugs the latest patches brought to my platform. So I'll be sticking to Oblivion and Skyrim instead. I only hope that they'll fix the new bugs and lags so I'll be able to finish the story, some day.

I can't afford to get Skyrim so I'll be playing New Vegas for a while yet with a break for Sonic Generations when it arrives next week and then another break for Saint's Row 3 and Lego Harry Potter Years 5-7. I'll wait to see if Skyrim is as glitchy and buggy as New Vegas, I'm not in the mood for being an unpaid beta tester again for a game that shouldn't have been released without a good amount of fixes.

I can wait to play Skyrim until I know for sure that it isn't yet another broken game.
