I liked the prison part more than the Vault 101 part. If they were going to do the Vault 101 part, they should have started it where you need to leave right away. Plus, I liked the cities better in Oblivion, IMO, they were better.
Fallout 3. Hopefully they use a similar system for the next Elder Scrolls - better combat, better lvling/perks, better NPCs, karma system....and maybe something to actually do

Well i enjoyed oblivion because there were so many mods to download but i have yet to play fallout 3 but i hope some quality mods will be released doon.
Which is better? Well, it really depends on your preference. Which do you enjoy more, a fantasy setting or a post-apocalyptic setting? They both have unique and engaging combat systems. The gameplay and story for both are just as ensnaring. Oblivion forces you to become an active participant and create your own story where as Fallout 3 presents itself as a more traditional video game and drops you into the story from the start. As far as graphics go, well Fallout 3 is a new game and Oblivion is three years old. So, Fallout is obviously more detailed and refined. Considering the gap in years i would still give Fallout 3 the edge in graphics because the environments are very diverse and creative.
Oblivion forces you put work in to get something out of your game playing experience. Fallout 3 has this as well, but it feels much more like a traditional game which means it also feels easier to play. If i had to choose which game i enjoy more. I would probably say Fallout 3 just because it's a new experience and so far, it is as engaging and entertaining as Oblivion but Oblivion gave me one of the most memorable gaming experiences i've ever had and it's to early to say whether or not Fallout 3 will match that.

The leveling up along with the game and I just generally didn't like the feel compared to Morrowind. It just felt like another fantasy story while Morrowind had at least some amount of creativity with the setting and the characters.
Well I beat Fallout 3 today and compared to Oblivion I have to say I enjoyed the story way more than Oblivions. But I dunno which game I liked better. They both had their pros and cons. I think my biggest problem with Fallout was it was pretty much end game once you beat the main plot and they didn't have anything like The dark brotherhood or the mages guild. Fallout was awesome it was just lacking a lot of features that Oblivion had, you could ride horses in oblivion, you could pretty much just walk to everywhere in Oblivion without trouble, in fallout you have to use a lot of tunnels and what not. Though it had a lot of good things to it seemed to have more replay value than oblivion, seemed to have a larger variety of weapons, and maybe it was just me but the landscape seemed larger, the VATS system was sick and the plot was just better and it seemed longer. While Oblivion was amazing once I was done with it I didn't really feel like returning to it, I'd found everything there was to find all the easter eggs and what not. Which was another thing I liked about Oblivion it had tons of easter eggs I only found a few in Fallout (though I haven't explored everything yet) but anyway I think I'd go with Fallout right now.

It is official to me. Even though Fallout 3 has some stuff that Oblivion doesn't, and visa versa, I am going to choose Oblivion because of how the game ends. Still would play boyh though, but probably prefer Oblivion.

Since i had a 2nd play through and this time i took more time to explore the game as best i can(and with awesome mods), i say fallout 3 beats oblivion by miles for me.
Why?
-The world isn't just some "empty" landmass like it was in oblivion, there were stuff that you could actually do and stuff to look forward too, oblivions mainland is just to "barren" and nothing much to do.
-Combat
Both are good.
- The quests imo in fallout 3 are greater than that of oblivion because personally i find them very much interesting when compared to many quests in oblivion which is to "kill this kill that" which does get repititive after a while.
Oh and doing some of the quests in fallout 3 will lead you to new stuff, locations, items, monsters etc without ever intending to find them in the first place(an example would be like i was suppose to go to roboco for a quest but then i discovered tenpenny tower or any ruins along the way).
However i like the part when ragesremorse mentioned that oblivion forces your to create your own story whereas fallout3 kind of puts you into its own story from the start, that is one thing i prefer oblivion over fallout.
As for the excitement i didn't really know what to expect in fallout 3 whereas for oblivion it was a little bit predictable.
So for me fallout 3 wins.
Not being fanboyish but fallout 3 is perhaps the best game i played so far, much better than even GTA IV and even so than mass effect which i loved playing on the pc. This is just my personal opinion.
I don't think you really played Oblivion because there was tons of stuff to do. You had a bunch of side missions, you could join certain groups of people, you have to find all of the caves, and tunnels, and more.
Combat- Little Edge to Fallout 3
Some quests leads you to new stuff as well in Oblivion.
Agreed on the story
How was it alittle predictable? I expected someone to break out of Vault 101, I knew it was going to be me for a fact, and I was thinking the dad was going to as well. I didn't expect the King to die in the very beginning.
No way Fallout is better than GTAIV.
Also Oblivion has the expansion pack with 2 extra stories, and Fallout 3 doesn't.

I did actually, completed fighters guild, dark brother hood, did tons of quests in the game after the main quest and then got bored to death, im just saying the landscape in F3 was alot more interesting and not so barren like oblivions.
But personally they are not as exciting to me.
But the rest of the game that predictable? No. Again this is my personal opinion.
You are inclined to disagree, we both have different opinions, and yes, in my opinion fallout 3 is better than GTA IV in some aspects and GTA IV is also better than F3 in some aspects.
I never said f3 is way better than gta iv.
Uh fallout 3 has 3 extra stories coming up. Check it out man its awesome, we get to play after the main quest(with new content) once the final DLC comes out next march.
Oblivion is enthralling and inescapably beatiful and lush with rivers, mountains, sunsets, music, and so on. Fallout is awesome because of the realistic way if you kill someone's love one (For example James Hargrave's mom) the people realize that she has been killed and will talk about it in there current events. In Oblivion if you kill someone's loved one they go on about it and can be coerced to not hate your character. Also, you can't compare graphics little ones, because Oblivion was made in 2006 and FO3 in 2008-09. My vote has to go to The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion for the way it draws you in and makes you want to keep playing.
