User blog comment:Wagnike2/Fallout 3 vs. Skyrim/@comment-4058895-20111125075720

Bethesda put a lot more work into elder scrolls than fallout 3 (hence why skyrim came out 5 years after oblivion and fallout 3 came out 2 years after), in terms of setting i would personally say that skyrim has a better setting. In terms of the enviroment, skyrim wins again with its lush forests, high snowy mountians and volcanic marshes not to mention the beautiful water and aurora boreallis. When compared with fallouts continuous sea of brown. Enemies is a tough one as I like the varitiy of enemies in skyrim (wolves, trolls, frost wraiths, dragon priests, dragur, bears, sabres, DRAGONS, ghosts, vampires, werewolves, any I missed) but I must also say that I love the mutated creatures in fallout and how they were all previously normal creatures that we could find in the real world. I think I will say skyrim as the advancements in A.I. means that all the enemies behave in an interesting manner and so are interesting to fight which adds more character to the enemies. The enemies in skyrim also live in different enviroments and react to the envioment in a realistic manner (wolves hunt in a pack and normally have a den somewhere, bears live in caves, frost trolls live in snowy areas, dragons can be found prowling mountainous areas and dragur and undead are found in ruins and crypts). Comparing the weapons in the two games is like comparing a floor board to a tree so im not going to compare them.
