i disagree a lil bit on fallout 3 being oblivion with guns... on the surface
they are very similar but I think there is a huge fundamental difference -
because of oblivion's sliding scale on monsters/treasure, there was never a
sense of accomplishment or getting stronger and everywhere you went there
would be the same monsters and treasure, etc. so it sort of neutered the
exploration factor... in my opinion... :P
oblivion should have been the greatest rpg of all time but one flaw in their
design COMPLETELY ruined it for me
