I never said either of them were bad =3

Anywho, my intent for that comment is, let's be honest, Fable games are much simpler than Elder Scrolls games. The roads are ultimately rather linear "Routes A, B, and C go to either Point X, Y, or Z" things (albeit very very very "wide" things), and just about all activities are carried out in real time, including the selecting of inventory (mainly Fable III at that moment)

Elder Scrolls Games, on the other hand, have enormously intricate and open-ended worlds. They also freeze time when lock-picking or pick-pocketing or going through inventory. That's completely ignoring the slow/freeze time shouts in Skyrim.
