Poll: TES or Fallout?

[Zhukov]

Fallout.

Why? The setting. Post-apocalyptic retro 1950s America Vs the most generic and unremarkable Tolkien-esque fantasy world I've ever seen.

 

[Yureina]

Fallout is my favorite for sure. TES is.... it's not bad, but medieval fantasy just isn't as interesting to me as it once was.

 

[DirgeNovak]

Tough choice... though I'll go with Elder Scrolls, since I prefer TES's combat over Fallout's. But that only applies to Oblivion. Morrowind's was shit. But then so was Fallout 1 and 2's. TES therefore still wins.

It was TES, until New Vegas. Now it's basically even. New Vegas was enough to sway me from the annoyingly bland green/grayness of F3. If they're going to make a game where a lot of it is exploration they could at least make it look appealing.

I'm a sucker for The Elder Scrolls and its lore, that and I prefer Fantasy over Science Fiction. TES: Oblivion was just one of those games that I just picked up and never put down, I replayed it constantly for about 2 years. Having said that though, my interest in Science Fiction novels is increasing again, so, it's a relatively close decision.

Fallout, but not modern ones.

... Well this is a tough one, I like both series.... I'd have to choose TES based on my play time for their series...

 

[Realitycrash]

Going as far as to tatoo the Brotherhood of Steel logo on my stomach, I'd have to say I'm a Fallout kind of guy.
The new 3D-Area aside.

...Though New Vegas was kinda good.

 

[Neuromaster]

Fallout. Oblivion's leveling system is broken and dumb. Morrowind's difficulty curve was just this side of unplayable for a beginner.

Not saying TES is bad by a long shot. Even with their flaws they're great games. But not a hard choice for me.

 

[Vault101]

Fallout, I absolutly LOVE the setting and world and hated oblivion (snorefest)

 

[Freaky Lou]

Big a fan as I am of both, I choose Fallout without much difficulty. It's just a much more poignant and better-developed world. Better writing on average, as well.

Fallout 3, first off, it's one of my favourite games of all time, mostly due to mod-ability and general freedom, but I also dislike fantasy settings, so TES is at a disadvantage.

Comparing Oblivion to Fallout 3, the latter wins.

Comparing the overall series, TES is better as a whole. Why? I'm not a big fan of fallout 1, 2 or new vegas.

Well, I liked Morrowind and Oblivion better then 1, 2 and new vegas. They were okay, just not as incredible as 3.

 

[Stainlesssteele4]

I started out with Fallout, back on a crappy gateway with windows 98.
I have a very strong nostalgia factor with the Fallout series, so it'd be my first choice. But I have had equally great experiences with the Elder Scrolls series.

 

[soul_rune1984]

I'm not a big sci-fi fan and, Fallout is just too brown for me.

 

[honestdiscussioner]

Oh that's easy.

The answer is: Both.

 

[Nannernade]

I prefer TES over Fallout, love them both to death but TES wins just a bit more, mostly because of the variety to combat, sure in Fallout you can use melee weapons... but why would you want to. Can't wait for Skyrim on Friday.
