Fallout 3 gets points for being a Science Fantasy RPG game, as opposed to being a Sword and Sorcery game. While not the only one out there, Sci-Fi/Sci-Fantasy RPGs are not all that common. Even things like the JRPG series "Star Ocean" mostly degenerate into standard sword and sorcery.
I voted both are "good games", because while I personally prefer Fallout 3, I do think that with all the guilds and such Oblivion was a far deeper project. For all the people that knocked it, it had a lot of cool stuff in it, like doing a quest which was to find a missing mage (who was stalking around the school invisible to mess with the leader of that branch).
Of course I would also say that I think Morrowwind had some distinct advantages over Oblivion.
At any rate, Fallout 3 was the first game in the "new series" using these type of first person conventions. We shall see what happens when they release "New Vegas" and how far ahead it moves.
