Fallout and Oblivion use the same engine, and a few of the same bugs with stuck quests, and issues with being stuck in the same terrain. I keep considering Fallout as I played it on a mates machine, but TBH I got very bored with Oblivion after a couple of weeks.

I liked both. Think I might have spent a little more time in Fallout than Oblivion though.

However I think I much prefer the Oblivion world to the Wasteland and/or New Vegas. There was something much cooler about wandering through a forest with waste high swards of grasses and plants and something running out of the undergrowth. And even though I am guessing there were similar numbers of different enemy types between the two games, Oblivion seemed much more varied.

I think I have a soft spot though for any game that tries to make melee and stringed weapons workable.

Part of me wants it to play more like oblivion than Fallout, but I have a feeling itll be more Fallouty?

Something like VATS for archery and casting spells?

Could be.

Using a new engine it seems, about time, assumedly new fallouts will use it too :wub:

Date of 11/11/11 well its Elder Scrolls and i look forward to it, but releasing around the sametime as GW2, is not going to do any favours for it

Just found this webpage. 11 articles that make me think Skyrim will be the best game of the year - for me anyway.

Skyrim articles

Read the stuff on improving the combat system. Sounds like all the issues from Oblivion have been addressed. Love the idea of dualcasting and multiple spell formats..

There's definitely a couple of seconds of gameplay in there.

More to the point. The games enviroment is looking very impressive. I just hope the improvements don't make the game any smaller..

I'm still very excited about this game.

If indeed it does contain gameplay it looks a bit too good in places to run like that on current gen consoles tbh unless it really is amazingly well optimised
