personally i just luv em both but i think fallout 3 is just nothing but vats in combat an very repetitive

I'd say Oblivion too, but I do like fallout 3, but I also like messing about with the glitches on Oblivion, because its amusing! (especially doing the duplicating glitch with scales =LAAAAAAAAAAAAAG!)

I havn't had the chance to play Oblivion yet, but Morrowind and Fallout 3 are both favorites.
So I'll hold off on the vote till I play Oblivion.

Sorry, but it was sooooo hard to get into Oblivion for me....I liked the time frame and everything Fallout 3 was in. I liked how it started too. One of the best starts I've seen compared to any video game.

wasn't there another thread like this? oh well
I give my vote to Fallout 3, love the post nuclear apocalypse theme

I've yet to play Elder Scrolls IV, and i'm certain that it couldn't surpass the awesomeness of Fallout 3

I absolutely loved them both. I found myself more engaged with Fallout 3 though. I think the problem with Oblivion for me was that I felt less compelled to do main quest. Also the leveled enemies in Oblivion felt stronger and that you could easily ruin the main quest by not doing it and having to face enemies that were far beyond the levels of the AI supposed to be working with you. While this can happen in Fallout 3 I think that the player is better able to cope with the increasing difficulty as you play. I did like the cities much more in oblivion and do feel that VATS can get repetitive but so does blocking with a shield and then striking with your sword. The thing I loved about VATS was your ability to modify it with perks. In the end, I think I loved fallout 3 a little more and found myself playing it more and not being as frustrated with the ability to carry things.

Fallout 3 is better for many resons why it better 1 guns,2 story,and 3 Downloadable Content
