Elder Scrolls, because Fallout is too grim for my liking and quite frankly, it's a fucking mess.
I know it's suppose to be a post-apocalyptic nuclear wasteland, but personally I don't like that aesthetic, it's not nice to look at and is far too untidy.
Playing Fallout, I quickly became tired on unwittingly kicking rusty cans, knocking over shopping trolleys and having to climb over rubbish strewn rubble.
Even the inhabited areas were a mess. I understand that people's morale may be low and their motivation may be lacking, but that's no excuse for not cleaning and living in filth.
A perfect example of this was the Regulators' HQ and how it still had a charred skeleton in the bathtub. Really? How long has it been since the bombs dropped? You made yourself at home enough to set up your computer terminals, make bunks for yourselves, throw your empty bottles around the place and make a run-down shack even untidier, yet no could spare a few minutes to take the charred skeleton out of the bathtub and throw it outside?
I suspect a lot of this is just poor environment design and an environment artist getting too carried away with the who post-apocalypse clip-art, without giving any thought to what they were placing and where, which is probably why you can find women's toilets with a row of urinals and why almost every bin has packets of cigarettes in them (unless everyone decided that with only 15 minutes to live, it would be a good time to give up smoking).
