Although many will think this sounds creepy... xD I sleep with a machete under the pillow on my left and my parents sleep with a baseball bat in the corner and another machete within my dad's arm's reach. This is a safe community, too, we're just the paranoid Americans.
((Woo, this is my first forum post :D)) Some spoilers, I guess, but none really important I don't think. Well, I've played both, and I am slightly biased when I say that I thoroughly enjoyed Oblivion, and much more so than I did Fallout 3. Fallout 3 is excellent for sci-fi loving gamers (and I count myself among these) but not for those who don't like to feel lonely and alone as they traverse the wide, if slightly repetitive wasteland. I say that it is repetitive because you throw yourself at Raider party after Raider party, occasionally coming across [unfortunately immortal] children, even to the extent where there is an alcove where they store themselves until adulthood. Civilization is scarce, the largest city having a pathetic population, and most of that being NPCs who have no unique dialogue. In contrast, I preferred Oblivion, where few NPCs were nameless and generic except for guards and various wild animals/Daedra, each had their own slightly tweaked AI (which could be bolstered quite a bit via mods) and the like, and even if they said the same thing over and over, they had a NAME. Besides, while I am admittedly a *diehard* Star Wars fan, I prefer lush, ethereal scenery rather than death and decay and macabre mutated mutts. Anyway, Oblivion for me.
