Oblivion, Fable 2, or Fallout 3

I seen a topic 'somewhat' similiar to this but i did not want to bump it.
So, feel free to discuss.

Oblivion all the way.
 
Re: Oblivion, Fable 2, or Fallout 3

oblivion... WAY more stuff to do
 
Re: Oblivion, Fable 2, or Fallout 3

Fable 2, tbh Oblivion is a very awesome game. But there is just something about Fable 2 that makes me want to play it more. The fact that you can interact with other characters is very unique. I like the combat system in fable 2 more. I mean Oblivion is a better RPG, Fable 2 is just a better game...
 
Re: Oblivion, Fable 2, or Fallout 3

Fallout 3 gets my vote, appealed to me more than Oblivion did with the weaponry and adult themes. Also the game thats had the most playtime out of most my games not just the other 2 mentioned here but all the games ive owned on 360 so far.
 
Re: Oblivion, Fable 2, or Fallout 3

Fable 2 but that is just because i think oblivion sucks i dont like FP-RPG's.
and for fallout 3 : i like the game a lot bu not just my favorite of these 3
 
Re: Oblivion, Fable 2, or Fallout 3

I would have to say Oblivion on this one, somehow though i dont think Fable 2 can be compared to these huge, completely free roam games with hundreds of more things to do. Fallout is also a very good game. Just cant see Fable being anywhere near these guys :lol:
 
Re: Oblivion, Fable 2, or Fallout 3

I hate Oblivion. I want to love it, I want to get "it" about Oblivion - what everyone seems to love about it. But I can't. I simply can't. It's just so flawed at the core.

Scaling enemies.

The mere mention of it sends shivers down my spine. In all Role-playing games I love you start out weak but in the end you're the great hero... or villain. But Oblivion never gives you that feeling at all, because once you find a new set of weapons and armour the enemies will be bumped up a notch so it doesn't really make a difference.

Oblivion is better then fable 2, because oblivion has 1000 more hours play value then fable 2 :P

Im the total opposite. I hate reaching the end of a game and being so powerful you can one hit practically everything (Fable 1+2) It just is so boring. No challenge, no reason to advance higher. More bluntly, nothing to do, besides go on a rampage killing everyone, which takes 2 minutes sense your so godly. What is the purpose to keep playing?

I'm not talking about becoming some sort of demi-god á la Fable - but at least give me something to show for me effort!

Oblivion offered nothing of the sort - in the end, every lowlife bandit or thief somehow got their hands on Daedric or Glass arms and armour. It's just ridiculous and removes any sense of accomplishment when you yourself manage to upgrade your gear.

What's the point, except not falling behind the ever-rising enemies?

Bah I say!

Re: Oblivion, Fable 2, or Fallout 3

fable 2 and oblivion/fallout 3 are totally different, gameplay wise. comparing just oblivion and fallout 3 would be better to me.

oblivion has more to do, but its compleatly infested with glitches and i just cant play it anymore. it bores me to tears. Tsuyu sumed it up enough i think. i want godlike power.

fallout 3 is better, although i dont care much for the ugly desolate wastland. but that just me. its cool and all, but very gray. and whats up with the bottle caps for money? i think my only major problem with fallout is they brought back the traders having a limited amount of money. its more realistic but its a major pain when your trying to sell stuff for money. also, unlike oblivion i dont seem to find any really cool treasure. then again i havnt played it much nor beaten it yet.

but for both oblivion and fallout, i find the combat to be a boring chore. personaly, i prefer exploring. combat gets annoying. so i play on easy so i can just kill the pests and get back to treasure hunting.

im not gonna compair fable 2, i dont think it compairs with fallout or oblivion, its to different.

all in all, i think they are all great games, it just depends what mood your in.

my oblivion was fine, i had an early xbox and it scratched my oblivion but fable on the other hand my first save is in constant slomo, also if you want god like power turn down the difficulty

lol your not looking hard enuf... oblivion is PACKED with treasure but my defanition of treasusre might be difrent from yours

once again oblivion is HUGE lots of places to find and caves to explore
 
Re: Oblivion, Fable 2, or Fallout 3

Id just also like to point out, how oblivion felt like i was actualy in a world, i mean not like im some crazy guy who confided himself in the game, but i reallyy felt like it was sortof real, like talking to people individualy and having a conversation firsy thing in the morning, it all felt so real, but i guess thats what bethesda does best.
 
Re: Oblivion, Fable 2, or Fallout 3

I haven't played Fallout 3 yet - idk why
so Oblivion gets my vote, because of all the quests you are able to do and the open world - standing on top of the wizard tower looking at the amazingly large world really is insane, Oblivion just seems a lot more real.
I know Fable is set to be a fable (as in a European fairy tale) so it's not supposed to be real life like, but with all the loading screens and lack of towns and NPCs Oblivon just tops it.
Bethesda made Fallout 3 too, right? and Oblivion? zOMG I gotta go buy Fallout 3!!! :D

i think you read my post wrong. i was compairing oblivion and fallout 3. i was saying that in fallout, i dont seem to find as much cool treasure as i do in oblivion.

as for exploring, thats what i prefer, and thats what i play oblivion and fallout for. i prefer the exploring and dislike the combat. thats why i play on easy. first person combat in oblivion just seems klumsy. 3rd person is even worse. thats why in oblivion i just play 100% camelioned so the enemys dont bother me. i really, really hate the combat in oblivion. fallout is a bit better, but still bothersome to me. i play the games for exploration.

overall, i think its a matter of what game i prefer to play (rather than what is better than what), and i prefer fable 2. its just a nice relaxing game that i can always fall back and play.

Re: Oblivion, Fable 2, or Fallout 3

Fallout 3's engine is the same as Oblivions, so if you liked that in Oblivion, you will be pleased with Fallout 3.

Fable 2's engine, however, beats Oblivion/Fallout 3's hands down. It's about a million times more fluid than Oblivion/Fallout 3 (which is really stiff and unlife-like).

Oblivion/Fallout 3 is more realistic in theory, with all the different items and such, but Fable 2's movement and fighting is a thousand times more realistic practically. That makes it more fun, so Fable 2 for me.

Oblivion/Fallout 3 is more realistic in theory, with all the different items and the sheer size of it, but Fable 2's movement and fighting is a thousand times more realistic practically. That makes it more fun aswell. Oblivion/Fallout 3's replayability is the only thing it has going for it, but I definitely had more fun in Fable 2, so it get's my vote.
