User blog comment:Wagnike2/Fallout 3 vs. Skyrim/@comment-1867168-20111124064828

Skyrim and Fallout are incomparable. Ones different than the other. I haven't played any of the Elder Scrolls series (mainly because oblivion was such a bore to me).

Even if I tried hard, I couldnt compare the Fallout series to the Elder Scroll series, because they're both completely different.

I WILL say that skyrim had a lot more work and time done on it compared to fallout, but fallout for me was more interesting and unique. Just the idea of being in a post apocalyptic setting makes me feel like that game is just amazing. Skyrim (being my first elder scrolls im playing) is really fun. I got all achievements on it, and im going for lvl 81 now. Though in skyrim, i feel like im forced to level up my skills in a boring way (like power training alchemy to 100).

Fallout 3 leveling system > Skyrim leveling system.

In the end, i would prefer playing fallout more, even if it does have less weapons, less creatures, and worse graphics. (Lets not forget that Bethesda IS currently working on Fallout 4, and i wouldnt be surprised if its their biggest game yet)
