Skyrim vs Fallout 3 GO!

[TheBestPieEver]

Riley's rangers, the roach king, Lucas Simms, Amata, Moira, Jericho, Lucy West and his vampire brother. Those are names that I remember and immediately associate with faces. The only bloke I remember in skyrim is that thief who got kill by a bunch of arrows in the beginning

I own FO:3, Skyrim, and, since everyone seems to be throwing it in also, FO:NV, and all of them are fun games. And I like them each for different reasons. I like the atmosphere best in FO:3. I like the game play best in Skyrim, and FO:NV had the best story line of all of them.

Personally, I think that arguing over which game is best is really pointless and does more to harm each of these games then it could ever add to them. If you do not like Skyrim, don't play it. If the only issue you have with it is that the scenery is not to your liking, mod it or stop playing it. Its really that simple.

Please stop bitching about it. Its getting annoying.

And did you never have someone tell you not to go near Quarry Junction? It's full of fucking Deathclaws. Sounds like a warning to me.

Hahahaha, I was like "pfft deathclaws, they were easy as in F3 for me"!

Goes to the Quarry
Walks in
Surrounded by deathclaws and alpha deathclaw
gets raped back to last save


Brillinat, Fallouts atmosphere is better. Factions and people are extremely unique, brotherhood of steel, enclave, raiders, supermutants, boomers who use artillery and a plane (FNV), khans who are tribal warriors, legion who are fucking slavers who dress up as roman soldiers ect.

It just has more atmosphere and density to the game.. for me it is hard to explain.

There seems to be a lot more "open ground" in the Mojave that makes Deathclaws super difficult to fight if they get the chance to notice you. They're like 4 times faster than you, and their leaping attack clears SO much ground and ruins you AND I'm pretty sure it knocks your ass to the ground. If you don't have height advantage and a clear headshot, prepare to book it like a little girl.

But I whole heartily agree, the factions in New Vegas in particular actually FEEL different. They're each unique beyond just wearing different armor. They use different weapons, talk differently, and the clothes they wear all look unique even among the subgroups of their own factions. You can immediately identify what enemy you're fighting by the armor their wearing, and then you have to adjust your strategy in response to that.

It amazes me how a game like Skyrim, that has like 8 different races, can make them all seem so EXACTLY THE SAME when you fight them. All the factions act exactly the same. I can't tell you how many time I honestly couldn't tell you how many times I mistook a city guard for a member of one of the two armies. They're dialogue overlaps so much that I would forget who I'm doing a mission for, and I'd actually get startled when a member of the faction I was working for showed up because I thought I was doing a mission for someone else. It's always just "go here and kill everything" or "go here and bring back 'item'". At least New Vegas had variety. Hell, even Fallout 3 made their arbitrary fetch quests feel unique.
