Deleted269910User Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Played both, extensively and Oblivion is still calling me back into it, instead of FO3. Oblivion had it's problems(And still has.), but FO3 has so many bugs(Far more than I've ever noticed in Oblivion.) and reasons that may cause for it to randomly crash, not to speak of patches bringing up even worse bugs.(VATS anyone?) Oblivion has a much greater re-play value due to the sheer amount of quests and secrets to find.(Took me far over 300h to finish the game, instead of just 47h in FO3. Figures speak for themselves.) The open endedness of Oblivion was something FO3 lacked/lacks, as in Oblivion it was there to begin with, as were many other things, whilst in FO3 they force you to pay for getting that content.(Thank god for mods on that!) The way the distribution of the DLC's is done in FO3 is a major mistake on part of Beth(GFWL...) and hopefully they'll rectify that by releasing a CD with all the plugins in one disc. Even though the addons in Oblivion weren't all that great, at least they were relatively easy to have access to. In my opinion Bethesda failed everything apart from two things in FO3;The landscape and letting the people mod it. The entire game was hastily released, with very little content, using a game engine that doesn't suit the playstyle Beth intended to implement.(Works in Oblivion, not here.) The only reason I haven't shelved FO3 yet is that the great modders in our community provide the badly needed "bandages" to this crippled game.

humanbean234 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Since I'm limited to a laptop computer, here... Oblivion will run on my laptop. Fallout 3 won't run (my chipset isn't supported for Fallout's graphics, even though the laptop is less than a year old). Therefore, I vote Oblivion.

I have a 6+ year-old PC and FO3 runs better on it than Oblivion...although both are on just about the lowest settings. ;) As far as which one I like better, I will of course lean heavily to Oblivion since I like the swords and armor theme but FO3 was fun to play because of the weapons.

IxionInc Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I like fallout 3, because of the many ways to kill something, and the fact that if someone ticks me off, I can blow their legs off and watch them crawl.. But I hate the lack of story in it. I love oblivion for the story, and the universe itself, but I hate that you can't lop someone's arm off, or disarm them for that matter.. So I am technically at a loss, so I play both. EDIT: Also, I think i'm gonna lean to Oblivion on this, since it can handle far more mods without crashing than Fallout. If only someone would make it to where you could sever people's limbs!! argh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadisticopiate Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 both are awesome games and its hard to choose between the two but i do miss the length of oblivion and the leveling systemid rather get better at something by doing it not just questing or killing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floggingmolly22 Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 In response to IxionInc, I do think there is an Oblivion mod that lets you hack limbs off. I'm not sure, but you may want to check out the Deadly Reflexes mod. It's on here somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

floggingmolly22 Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Thank you Dezi. Out of curiosity, what is the most current version of that mod? I have an older version, but am looking for a newer one. Of course, I'm feeling a little to lethargic to actually find it for myself... :thanks: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LHammonds Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Deadly Reflex at version 5.0 released on Oct 14, 2008 and current #6 on the top 100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
