Would You Have Played These Without a Story?

I avoid the Fallout series entirely. They sound like decent games, but the post-apocalyptic thing just isn't for me.
If Oblivion had been a no-story dungeon crawl, I wouldn't have played it since I like a lot of context for what I do in an rpg. The main quest doesn't bother me but also doesn't interest me much, so I played it once or twice and then ignored it. I did, however, very much enjoy the guild-quest storylines, so I don't feel let down by the game as a whole.

The thread title: Would you have played these without a story?
What people made the thread: Which story did you like the best?
OT: If New Vegas didn't have a story then it would mean that all the quests would have to go away. Because most of them had a story, though most were very minor skirmishes. But those quests always tied in to the main story, with the many factions battling for control over something.
As for Oblivion, I didn't really play that much of it since I was mostly a Wii gamer when it came out. So I cant really comment.

I know what you mean, then again I only completed the Dark Brotherhood and the Shivering Isles so the story there was plenty enough for me.SwimmingRock said:
The story in New Vegas is ok, but I think you really have to take the time to get to know the main characters and companions to get the whole picture, and some of the DLC's add more to the story.
I basically wrote my own damn story for New Vegas. Or rather, significantly modified it to insert my Fallout 3 character into it in place of The Courier. In my world, actual Courier... died or disappeared (I never really explained it), although my character did still get shot by Benny (convenient way to explain lost skills and powers). I just tried to ignore all the references to the player character as The Courier.
Oblivion... ehh. The game failed to grab me. The dullness of the game also dulled my creativity, and I couldn't really come up with a narrative I liked enough to stick with. I tried all sorts of things but in the end... meh.

Wellll, Oblivion, yes, because every time I try to play that game, the main story gets drowned so fast I never finish it anyway.Wonderland said:
New vegas? Well that depends, is it not at all connected to the Fallout as a series? then, proberly no, If it is connected, but didn't have a main story, yes.
