Skyrim vs Fallout (3 / NV)

Fallout series.

get & play both ? Yes we can !

i think i prefer the fallout series, however that's not to say that skyrim wasnt fun because ive had a blast playing it aswelll

I'd say Skyrim, but it's a narrow lead.

I preferred Fallout, mostly because the sci-fi post apocalypse is more of the "Show" ethos, whereas Skyrim as a fantasy world with a long recorded history tends to rely on a lot of "Tell" ethos. Also, magic cannot be intuited, you wave your hands and stuff happens, whereas at least with sci-fi you can hazard guesses towards what the hell you just picked up. Fallout 3 absorbed me far better than Skyrim, even if Skyrim has that spooky beauty thing going on.

Also, the dual-handed weirdness in Skyrim was a source of much frustration given I was a stealth-mage and tended to switch my active spells and weapons often.

I prefer the two recent Fallout titles over Skyrim, but Oblivion and Morrowind trump everything.

I prefer the Fallout franchise. I've been in love with the post apocalyptic setting for a way longer time than a fantasy setting. :)

NV > Skyrim > FO3

NV all the way!

Fallout franchise, cause I love the setting and Magic sucks.

VATS

1. Fallout 3 - because of the story; great DLCs.
2. Skyrim - because of the combat system and there's always stuff to do.
3. NV - simply because I didn't like anything out of it. It was unplayable for me without mods.

Fallout world hands down, but the elder scrolls world is cool too. and if i had to pick between fallout 3 and NV, i'd go with 3, but i might just say that cus im from right outside DC and while its not entirely accurate I love exploring The Capital Wasteland!

I prefer TES setting.

FO3: Even without mods, the game is fucking amazing
Skyrim: With mods, it's a good story and huge
FO:NV: There's no need to wander. Unlike FO3 where wandering off into the wasteland is awarded, there's just no need to do it in NV. Also needs mods in order to run without crashing.

Frankly, you are sort of comparing the wrong set. Skyrim is a stage newer in development.
FO3/NV pair up with Oblivion.

I've only player FO3 out of those, so I guess I like sci-fi a tad better than fantasy.

I preffer Reallife .

For now I say Skyrim... but if they release Fallout 4 I'll probably vote for that. :D

Skyrim i suppose

Over those 3, fallout 3 is the king. New vegas had it's moments, i only enjoyed a few things, some of the community mods and some of the dlc, fallout 3 tops it though.

Skyrim... it's fun but i got bored of it, went through two playthroughs so far and haven't finished any of them since i always end up exploring the entire freaking map rather than do the main storyline, sigh.

Imo i would say Fallout 3 (did 4 complete playthroughs + dlc, 2 pc 2 xbox 360, might do a new one on 360 when i get the chance) and TES oblivion (2 playthroughs, going to start a 3rd whenever i get to replay it on steam) to be on top, enjoyed these the most, followed by skyrim and then NV. I have morrowind, people say it's amazing but i haven't played it that much, didn't seem that amazing to me but i'm not going to jump into conclusions so early. Need to give it a try sometime later again.

Fallout 2 son

I never could get into Fallout. I prefer Skyrim. But if Fallout 4 come out, I'll give it a shot.

Apples vs Grapes

I realy liked the first 3 Fallout games (1st, 2nd and Tactics). The Fallout 3 and NV are crap for me that I never enjoyed. But Skyrim is totaly different and awesome, hard to believe it's from the same company that made Fallout 3/NV.
