I recently started playing Oblivion, and played Morrowind in the past. Combats easier, graphics are better (duh), the fast travel system does help....but its very hard to truly get into the game in terms of the RPg element, being in all guilds and being top rank in each is stupid and illogical, the fast travel system takes a great deal of the exploration element out of the game, and the only time I see varied terrain is in Oblivion.
I miss Morrowind....I need to go find a copy and play that again.

Well...when Morrowind came out, I had never played an RPG (I'm not exactly new to gaming...18 years of it and counting), but no RPG really ever caught my eye before (Unless you count the Diablo series...which I don't). Morrowind looked great to me, so I *cough* pirated it *cough*. I liked it enough to buy it, and yet I never finished it. (Disclaimer: I haven't pirated a single game since 2003, and I've ended up buying every game I've pirated since Morrowind except for Halo PC.)
Oblivion wasn't such a success for me. I thought it was incredibly bad design to start you out in a dungeon with similar looking everything, and nothing of interest at all aside from a certain Star Trek captain biting the dust, but even that you knew was coming. By the time I stepped outside, and had to find my way to somewhere, I was done. I haven't felt a single urge to play the game since.
Despite my bad track record with Bethesda games, every single feature, trailer and screenshot of Fallout 3 made me want to play it. Now, I haven't finished it yet, but that's more because of my methodical and slow play style. I've put over 80 hours into it, and yet, I still keep going back.
My vote is obvious.
EDIT: I never played Daggerfall, but if this quote by Ken Rolston is any indication, I'm glad. "It's amazing anyone could play it at all, the shape it was in when we shipped it"

Fallout 3 is far more immersive and invlolving than oblivion when it comes to the characters and story, and I do think the wasteland is more fun to explore than cyrodyl.
But oblivion is great for whe i just wanna roam around the pretty countryside and collect flowers for my potions like some kind of gay Getafix...

YOUR MAKING ME PICK BETWEEN DAGGERFALL AND FALLOUT2 YOU EVIL SON OF A.....
I picked daggerfall as it just doesnt get the love it deserves
everyone who goes on about morrowind and oblivion I think should find a copy (even if you torrent it, OH NO) of daggerfall, and give it a whirl yes you have to deal with graphics and glitch issues... but you know so do on all the elder scroll games lol, but they have patched it up alright and I sitll play it now and then (mind you I have an old 486 that I play it on)

Fallout 3 only because when you get hit you not only lose health, but your limbs get crippled...and of course the VATS....and the faster level ups
If Oblivion had the same combat system, damage system, and level up system I thing Oblivion would be better...even if it didn't have those things, it is still a really good game...but that's just my opinion...

Fallout3 was good, Beth retained the quirky gameworld, addicting leveling system, gore, eccentric NPCs, choices with consequences and other important aspects from the originals better than I thought they would.
Oblivion on the other hand was just a sad "rpg" with the scaling and whatnot, had the combat been better it could had at least passed off as an action-adventure ..tho not the good kind of action-adventure(like Zelda), but the boring kind with copy pasted environments and people made of wood.
FO2>FO1>FO3>>>Morrowind>>>>>>>Oblivion. Haven't played Arena and too little of Daggerfall to rate them.

I voted oblivion
I will say yes fallout 3 is a better game. but they are virtually identical and which came first? oblivion, hence it was more fun since the whole gameplay was new. fallout 3 just cloned oblivion and improved it slightly, it was fun but wasn't very new. its like saying silver pokemon is better than red/blue just because they reskinned it (althought red/blue is actually better but thats the best example I could think of).

Its hard to choose between Oblivion and Fallout3, which are the only 2 choices. i would go with fallout 3 because of the less glaring voice acting and the better combat. even though the combat was flawed at best, it was better than just standing there pressing the right trigger until your opponent dies or you do.
man i was positive that morrowind would get number 1 spot. tho Oblivion was better mostly the 2k poisen seeped in from the edges and ai freak out when I play it knowin that there are so many mods for the pc version. Also fallout was half ass just sayin bethesda could have done better. I did play the crap out of it though.
