Fallout 3 vs Oblivion

Which of these games did you enjoy more and why?

FO3 simply exploring in FO3 was better than Oblivion and the main quest in oblivion is boring.

FO3 for me, I liked the game better in general, the rpg system, the npcs, alot of the quests, the world, and the weapons all felt better and more diverse to me.

And exploration was a great deal more interresting, due to what y ou could find, and how odd some of the "dungeons" were.

I played oblivion more simply because i enjoyed the freedom and green spaces and of course swords and bows and arrows :P Fallout 3 is a superior game mainly because it was based on the oblivion engine and fixes near on all of the problems with it. So Oblivion i enjoyed more but fallout 3 was still an overall better game.

Fallout 3 is 100% a better game.

Oblivion had the guilds, Fallout had the guns - they both had strengths and weaknesses

but 2 of my favourite games

Fallout 3 just because it was more interesting and combat was more fun.

Fallout 3,,,because Oblivion never played..

FO3 there was more things to do than in Oblivion to me

Both games are good, got bored of both before finnishing it though... If I had to pick one I would go with Fallout 3 though... maybe due to the fact that I'm a old Fallout fan if nothing else. I also feel that Fallout kind of got to the point a bit quicker than Oblivion, that wasgood, but dragged out a bit sometimes.

Looking forward to New Vegas... and the next Eldar Scrolls.... whenever that might be:)

Fallout 3. I also liked Oblivion but it has lame combat system. VATS ftw

i loved FO3 and thought it was a great game and had loads of playability and diversity but oblivion on the other handed is the greatest game that u will never finnish and by that i mean do everything in it so i'd go with oblivion also cause i loved the armour

Never played either, but I like Morrowind.

Should I shell out for Oblivion GOTY or FO3 GOTY?

Thanks for the advice, guys. FO3 it is...

I prefer Fallout 3. Oblivion got boring after the main quest, which is not saying much.

This thread got me interested in Fallout 3! :)

If only people would stop making such uninteresting comments... :|

FO3. The world of Oblivion was more interesting because of some of the lore, but the wilderness itself is horrible. Every grassy area looks fake and much too green. It freaks me out, actually, how dreamlike the fauna looks. It ruins the atmosphere for me.

What it came down to for me was atmosphere. I think Fallout 3 nailed it.

Oblivion was more fun to explore and it had the guild missions.

Fallout 3 had a more interesting world and better atmosphere.

Morrowind, is much better than both...

i've only played fallout 3, but oblivion is in the post now.

fallout 3 got pretty boring imo, the main story was really really lame and the side quests were interesting, but never really engaging. the atmosphere and environment are incredible, but i needed a good central story to keep me interested, the side quests didn't seem connected either, just separate episodes. i'm not saying it's a bad game, it's astonishing in some aspects, but it's not the sort that can keep me interested for long.

we'll see how oblivion fares, how are the side quests in that? the assassins and thieves guilds etc look pretty cool

I like the Elder Scrolls universe more than Fallout but I liked Fallout 3 much better as a game than Oblivion. I completely ignored FO3 until it was released. I remember watching one gameplay video and thought it looked ridiculous. But then I actually played it and fell in love.

combat, exploration, character development (perks/expereince points), voice acting, story, and quests were all more intersting and fun in FO3 in my opinion. Remember in Oblivion how enemies scale in level and equipment? Eventually lowly banits aquire Daedric armor and weapons for some reason. In FO3, raiders don't suddenly become equipped with power armor and gattling lasers. As you get more powerful their equipment stays the same.
