Fallout 3 vs. Fable 2.

Which will be better ?

Discuss.

Fable 2.

Fallout 3 is a disgrace to the Fallout name.

EDIT: I forgot to say that Fable is one of my favorites of all time, I didn't care for what was promised, instead what was there to play.

I wish you put a neither option.

Fable 2: made by Molyneux, the guy who promise you the earth, but ultimatly fail to deliver in every single game he made so far.

Fallout 3: Made by a bunch of people who think gameplay is a lot more important than the story for a fallout game...

but everything molyneux has promised hes shown.

Fable 2. It doesn't have the fanboys in an uproar about how its the anti-christ of the original. Unlike Fallout 3 and its rabid fanbase.

Is there a "none of the above" option? Because that would be my choice.

I'm betting Fallout 3. Bethesda has a history of releasing great games, and I'm not expecting this to be their first miss. Oh, and watching all of the Fallout fanatics pop a blood vessel over the game is tremendous entertainment in itself.Shafftehr

I didn't expect such a comment from someone with a Torment avatar...

Fable 2 since I'm a big Fable fan. They're both labeled RPGs but they couldn't really be more different. I'm looking forward to both.

Having said that, they're one of the most well-spoken group of 'rabid fanboys' I've ever seen, and they've got excellent taste in video games.

Back on topic...as disappointing as Oblivion was, I can't see Fallout 3 being a bad game. Sure, it won't be as good as the classics, but it'll still be better than most recent RPGs.

Yes, it is my favorite game ever, and I would *kill* for Torment to be given the incredible chance that Fallout fans are too pigheaded to recognize. Your dead franchise, which died because of lack of consumer interest more or less, is being given a pop-culture revival. Yes, the game that causes the revival won't be what you want - but the fact that the franchise is being given a second chance, a second chance to become really popular... Look around at the RPG world - it's not uncommon for popular series to have spinoffs and expansion packs and all sorts of different iterations released in their worlds. If you guys luck out and this game you hate so much does really well, someone else might later pick up the torch that Black isle dropped long ago - but without a company like Bethesda being there to breath some financial life back into the franchise, that chance will never be.

Torment is my favourite game ever, too, and I would *kill* to prevent Bethesda from reviving it. It's just totally unlike anything Bethesda have ever done - I can't see it going well.

The Fallout series only died after they began making spin-off gamesm which were more action oriented (Fallout: Tactics) and console-based (Brotherhood of Steel) - neither of those games were as popular as the real Fallout RPGs, nor were they anywhere near as good.

As for the chance of someone else picking up the torch...that's not going to happen. Sure, the franchise may become popular again, but only to a new crowd who love Bethesda's interpretation of the Fallout universe. Also, it's not like anyone else can take up the torch - if the game turns out to be successful, Bethesda will just start churning out sequels, expansion packs, and overpriced downloadable content every few years.

One of the truest comments I've heard yet around here.
