I agree. Political instability in which the decisions your character makes hold weight and can decide the fate of nations, and even individual attitudes of you? Nah, NV has no story.
And I need story.

Would You Have Played These Without a Story?

Oblivion, yes. New Vegas, no. (Fallout 3, yes). The New Vegas side quests and environment aren't appealing enough to me.
Even if Oblivion had no story I would have made one up for myself as I went along... might have gone something like:
"Mass murderer rampages through towns after saving the world..."
"Mass murderer rampages through towns after saving the world..."
Oblivion I definitely would as it's fun and aesthetically nice. The Mojave Desert, however, is bland coated bland with bland filling except for a few small areas and without a plot motivating me I never would have played it.Wonderland said:
New Vegas was bland and boring as it was, and the story didn't really help anything (except for me to randomly fail missions every 5 seconds)... Oblivion, well, I couldn't even get into it.
Every Sim game, a great majority of sport games, some online-based shooters (Unreal Tournament, Team Fortress 2, Quake III Arena, etc.), some puzzles games...Robert Ewing said:
Those two games? I think so. The main story didn't matter much to me, but I really enjoyed most of the smaller self-contained stories in the side quests.
I haven't played NV, but Oblivion's story was pretty awful to be honest. Mind you, the sidequests and what not weren't much better.
Frankly, I don't think Bethesda know how to write a story or dialogue. They always come up with these interesting worlds and locations, then you actually get to wander around them and find out that there really isn't anything interesting in them.

Both had "interesting" stories. They could've been good if there was some acutal EFFORT put into them. But they were amazing games nontheless. Both of which I didn't give a single f-bomb about what was going on.
Oblivion's main story wasn't all that great in my opinion. I found the storylines of the various sidequests and guild quests much more entertaining.
As for whether I played the game without story? I probably would have. There's a ton to do in Oblivion.
As for NV? Well, the story was part of what got me to play to the end. I enjoyed the idea of deciding New Vegas's fate. So I guess it wouldn't be as fun without as story.

given how boring a lot of story's in games have been of late, i tend to skip it, so yeah, ya can.
