In my eyes it will be much better

Then again anyone who handed me a copy of Oblivion would be called my enemy lol

The fact that it's more action oriented (with 1st and 3rd person views) plus the humor in the game does it for me.

Unless the game is broken it'll be terrific

Hoping for better, I am VERY interested in this game. I'm just hoping it doesn't let me down, I heard Oblivion was good, but I've never been able to get into it. I'm not gonna sit here and say it was crap or anything, it just wasn't my type...I tried multiple times, but never could get into it.

Just because it is from the same developer, doesn't mean you can compare the two. They're very different type of games.

I was a big fan of Morrowind, I thought Oblivion was really really boring... the story was totally lacking, and the leveled loot and enemies was horrid.

Fallout 3 cannot be worse than that game, it just can't be

But both games are free-roaming(Without vehicles) and put a similar emphasis on freedom and side-quests. Anyway, I think Fallout three should be better if they follow through on their promise to make all of the NPCs unique and if they make the main story better than Oblivion's. The enviroment looks a little bland, but some of the weapons sound really fun.

same here oblivion isnt better than morrowind. but i still love oblivion for what it is. as for compairing the two...i dont see how it could be worse than oblivion. my grade scale is based on morrowing goty for WRPG's. so for me the Q. is will it be better than Morrowind GOTY. and i say..it hasent come out yet

For me it will probably be not as good as Oblivion. I prefer RPG's w/ swords and such rather than guns. And i can't fathom that it could have the same wow factor that Oblivion had for me.

I think that it will be better than Oblivion, but not as fun as the original games.

It'll probably be somewhat better because i'll enjoy the gore. Plus the bazooka that you can stuff with whatever you want seems like it'll offer plenty of hours of mindless violent joy.

Agreed... I don't really know how you can compare the two other than like the number of sales. which'll be an interesting battle.

It should be better considering its also being created by Bethesda & how long its been since Oblvion was released. Also because its Fallout & its story is way more interesting. The fact there are guns does help as well. I played through most of Oblivion & never really got into it, but I've played through all the Fallout games many times & freaking loved the hell out of all of them.

Bland enviroments, even if you don't know the story around it the name Fallout should be a good enough hint. What do you think it would look like???

I wasn't blaming the developers, but reguardless of the obvious reasons for it's looks the end result is still just as ugly.

It all depends on what kinda games you like. An RPG fan will say Obilvion. And a FPS fan will say Fallout 3.

I agree if something like that was to happen it would look ugly. The broken, battered, torn, & just flat out rampaged envrioments as ugly as they may be to you create the image of what the world has been through & what it has become.

Well if it can take up my time and keep my interest as long as Oblivion did then that's a plus in my books!

I've heard a few journo's say that after having played Fallout 3 it feels very much like Oblivion 5. I thought Oblivion was a fantastic game and I have logged many hours on it. Having watched the game-play demos on the Marketplace it does look so much like Oblivion even the way the camera moves and the voice of one of the characters is the same. I guess that we will just have to wait and see but personally I'm expecting it to be just as good if not better!

I liked almost everything about Oblivion except for the cookie cutter characters and interactions with them. Hopefully Bethesda takes a cue from Bioware (example: Mass Effect) and ups the ante on those. Bioware has been having excellent character interactions since Baldur's Gate so I honestly can't see why Oblivion wasn't better in that respect.
