I loved Oblivion but I connected properly to my character in that, in Fallout 3, it was just meh, it wasn't shiney & bright like Oblivion, but dull & drab like Gears of War.

And Macs are good for there purposes but they are not gaming machines though it does support a few games but I'd stick to PC. And not being able to by M games isn't unfair, its just life.

my dad wants to switch the entire house over to mac, so I dont have a windows machine available at the moment. but if I get a job this summer, im going to try and buy a laptop(If I dont spend all the money on anime...:rolleyes: )

I agree with this statement.

Is it really that bad? I just finished the main quest in Oblivion and am about halfway through the Shivering Isles expansion, so I was thinking about getting Fallout 3 to eat my time, seeing as they are from the same developer.

I'm the opposite. I loved Fallout 3 so much more than Oblivion. Yeah I don't care about either character per say but you will not give a hoot about your guy in FO3. Now is that bad? Nah I completely forget there was a story at times because the game sucked me in and I wanted to explore, help people, shoot people, sell people, splatter super mutants, explore, explore and explore.

In Oblivion I got fed up with annoying quests and nancy characters who I wanted to die whereas the main quest in FO3 is so short, you forget the annoying guarding/escorting bits.

I would argue that Fallout 3 is all around better then Oblivion. With the exception of the Dark Brotherhood quests and the Shivering Isles, the quests in Oblivion flat-out suck. Almost all of Oblivions battles are extremely easy and the leveled encounters are just plain stupid.

Fallout 3 has a great storyline and a number of memorable moments. And even it's normal quests seem to be capable of pushing emotional buttons and making you squirm in your seat. Combat is frequently pretty nasty, against mutants early on and later against Enclave troops and those 10 foot tall velociraptor things.

[MomijiTMO]

10 foot? My memory sucks.

Oh and there were some hilarious things in Fallout 3. Like I was following this boy in the Citadel and he swiped a bottle of alcohol. Sorry but that is funny to me.

Deathclaws, so says google.

Anything that runs at me screaming and trying to slash me with claws is a velociraptor.

Ahh ok. They look cool though.

No, its not bad, Daikatana is a bad game, Halo is a bad game, its more preferences, I do like the game, just after the gloss wore-off for me, it wasn't what I made it out to be in my mind.

Yes true, Oblivions story compared to Fallouts was alil pants, but I feel I was more connected to the character in Oblivion than in Fallout, in Fallout, it felt like I was connecting the dots in some action movie.

Ok 1st play through the story affected me big time, but after that, there was no shock value, nothing to spark emotion in me. Granted neither did the Oblivion story, but because your not a scientists son/daughter locked in a vault, he leaves and you follow to find him, your a prisoner caught up in a war between two realms and the man whose very justice system threw you into that jail then turns round and says "Yeah, I know, we threw you in jail but hey, you gotta help us, I dreamt of it." also, Oblivion has Patrick Stuart, and no game can compare to that.

Oh, you guys know, Broken Steel has been delayed, it aye on Games For Windows Live, I dunno if the Xbox 360 community has it or not, but that is a major piss-me-off.

I haven't beat the story in either one. The sheer amount of side stuff in each one always makes me forget about the story. It's weird. I try playing FO3 but it makes me want to play ES4. Then I play Oblivion but then start to miss V.A.T.S.


I wish the games were merged a bit. I'd love Magic + V.A.T.S.
