may you go back and read the part that says most reasons please, and besides oblivion had bad voice acting toopimppeter2 said:
and i just personally don't like fantasy setting because "oh boy i get to go on a quest with a wizard to save the kingdom!" bullshit
i find a post apocalyptic 50's style setting, very intriguing though
I was just wanking your chain!lava_lamp said:
Oblivion isn't really like that if you give it a try
But, everyone to their own taste right!
I find it funny I ahve the exact feeling for Oblivion, I much perfered Fallout3 just seems far more simple and easy to get into.
Oblivion just had an overload effect on me.. just so much to learn and discover I kept getting distracted with sidequests thinking im missing major areas of the game.

1. The setting is carried over from the older Fallout games, not really Fallout 3's fault here.
2. I thought the atmosphere in the game was amazing, and I'm sure there's some interesting explanation out there that will tell you why it was like the '50s, but I don't really feel like finding it for you. Go look on the Vault Wiki.
3. Maybe the voice acting isn't all that great, but at least there's a lot more variety. Three Dog, James, and President Eden are great.
4. This is a genuine flaw. I would have liked to start a new character and join the bad guys.
5. Brotherhood of Steel is also from previous Fallout games.
6. I don't know why this bothered you so much.
7. Eh, if you didn't like the story, you didn't like the story. Bethsoft can't make everyone happy.

Oblivion sucked, and all of these complaints are just your personal taste, and let me continue by saying that you have bad taste.
Let me rant based on your post here..
STOP ASKING FOR REALISM IN GAMES, REAL LIFE IS A VERY BORING, VERY HORRIBLE PLACE. If I wanted realism i'd play the god damned Sims and recreate my own pathetic life of dead end worker bee. Yes, the Fallout universe is completely batshit crazy and unrealistic and that is why I like it. I like the nuclear apocalypse and being immersed into a world of gibbering flesh rotten ghouls and gigantic irradiated monsters trying to eat my giblets.

Ok... so you didn't like it... Don't play it... I personally think that all of your problems have to do with personal taste, not game structure. Stop bitching and play something else.
Fallout 3 was good, but it didn't grab me like it did some of my friends. I guess I just can't get into games like Fallout and Oblivion.
I only have one thing to say about your argument. Its about the 1950's portion. (In the story, the nukes drop in 2077 btw, im a nerd about this game 
) Todd Howard said he wanted to stay true to the other 2 Fallout games, which you stated you hadnt played, and i understand, im just clearing it up for you. The other 2 games had the 1950's cliche, so Todd Howard wanted to keep true to that theme.

enough said. but, i thought it was great. i found myself dreading the ending, cause i knew i couldnt play after that. I've been playing on the ps3, so dlc doesnt come out until next week, but im excited.APPCRASH said:
You know I want to address the name point lets compare names of major factions in the game shall we:
Fallout 3:
The Enclave
The Brotherhood of Steel
Oblivion:
The Dark Brotherhood
The Fighters Guild
The Arcane University
The Arena
I am not including any mods in this but the names in oblivion follow a horrible formula of 'What is it? Then that is what we will call it', I am a major Oblivion fan but come on at least Fallout names are actual names not a job description.

2 main reasons people hate Fallout 3:
1. It's nothing like Oblivion which is the reason I bought it.
2. It's to much like Oblivion which was terrible, Morrowind FTW!
Honorable mention complaint:
Its nothing like the first two Fallout Games.
The developers clearly stated years ago before it even came out, that Fallout 3 should not be compared to Oblivion because they are not meant to be similar. They stated that Fallout 3 is not going to be, or meant to be "Oblivion with guns." And the fact that it's nothing like its two predecessors is a dumb argument. Sure the first two were great and will be remembered as such, but they are completely out dated. Do you know any form of technology that or entertainment that will stick to what it did ten years ago... don't answer, because I already know it's a big fat negative.

VHS cassette tapes were basically the same technology for the 20 or so years they were in widespread use...quiet_samurai said:
CDs haven't changed much either...
i am a fan off both of the games i wouldnt say am the biggest fan but i enjoyed playing them and got hours of good play time out of them but i think that the voice acting in fallout 3 was actaully better than in obivion and like what it said on zero punctuation said the maps look pritty much the same just painted a defferent colour and has been given some blown up builds around and they both have big craps in them so u cant say owet about the craps because there in both games
the super mutants look abit like a gaint orks to me more than anything but i still think they look cool and pritty badass and the hole 1950's style of the game gave it a certian vintage and charm towards it and when you listerning to the radio before you reach the station he talks about a lone adventure and it feels pritty cool like year am famous already lol
i agree with the hole aiming thing but it didnt bother me to much i did have to get ust to it though because my mind would think am playing a defferent game and when i go to aim it dosent work but u start to get ust to it
but am not saying fallout is better than oblivion they both have there faults but at the end of the game what game dosent nothing is perfect its just up to use to see the good that is the game rather than trying to wait for the holy grail of games to come because it never is.

Neither have toasters really huh? Ok, fair enough. I meant gaming technology though.
I've played both games Fallout 3 to the shitty ending and oblivion to about 20%.
The question is now why? Why did you play through all of Fallout 3 (and of most the side missions) and why did you stop at 20%.
Oblivion seems to me really really like a 40+ hour D and D that bores through your skull like something out of Turok.
Fallout 3 seems like Oblivion's older brother who's into the 50's and a really fucked up mess.
The younger being Oblivion lives in the basement and loves grinding (such as Wow) and has lots of demons in his D and D games .
While Fallout 3 has a more thoughtful well...everything seems more thought out and done better than Oblivion through both look the same and play close to the same.
Basically Fallout 3 = more for the old fans and for people who love Bioshock .
And Oblivion = is more for people who love WoW or something close to that .
P.S Sorry for the long ass writing.
