I think Super Mario Galaxy 2 was very similar to Super Mario Galaxy 1.

Yeah, not even remotely.

lol. Hah- I just disintigrated a dragon with my Laser rifle, smithed to Legendary of course.

Basically saying we are ignorant.
Well you called us ignorant, which is prty damn close.

You said the games have similar visuals, and when someone points something out that isnt similar, you say "no, not that". Well then care to give us a SPECIFIC example of similarities?
Lets see...

Oblivion - Forest
Fallout - Wasteland
Skyrim - Forest

HMMMMMMMM....................
Yeah... See above... so again... care to give us some specific examples or are you going to continue skirting around the hanky bush like a little girl afraid to be wrong?

In Oblivion eating Venison healed your hit points, many of the food items had various alchemical effects that could do more then just healing a few points of damage. Food as a method of restoring hit points is in just about every RPG game ever made. In skyrim they simply removed most food form the alchemical tables and gave them simpler effects. Food, Potions, stimpacks its all the same thing really.

How does that make them Talon Company? An organization being hired to kill the MC of a game isn't original. It is infact quite common. You can't join Talon Company, nor can you wipe them out completly. (unlike the DB). The contracts aren't written alike either aside from ordering your death. They are completely different. I fail to see what they have in common. Talon Company was also predictible and would show up regardless of your actions. Something actually has to trigger the DB sending an assassin after you. The Thalmor can carry a contract for your execution, does that make them Talon Company?

Your not stupid but your entire argument can easily be twisted to say that Fallout 3 feels more like Oblivion.

They're both video games produced by the same company? That's about the only similarity I can see. Anything more is a really big stretch, most likely by some to discredit one game or the other in some way.

No. Perhaps in areas in which it's barren tundra, otherwise I think it's difficult to compare a post-nuclear wasteland and lush, snow filled basin.

I didn't mean to call anyone ignorant, I'm sorry if it came across that way, maybe the post you're referring to was badly worded by me.


By saying no one is reading the OP I meant that people are comparing the gameplay of Skyrim and Fallout, not the visuals like I was talking about in the OP.


Calm down and read post #66. Here I'll quote it just for you:

If that isn't good enough for you I'm sorry, go read another thread. There's no need to get so worked up about it. If you were offended by my earlier post that you said was calling people ignorant, again, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it that way.

Because no other game has ever had bandits/raiders?

In what way? Your words are vague.

Not that they exist, I just think they look similar physically, like the art style of them. They just look very similar to me. Sorry, I can't really explain it any better than that, I wish I could.


Again, I think the art style is really similar. It's hard to explain it in typing much better than that... The caves in Skyrim just remind me a lot of the way the caves looked in Fallout 3.

There is a phrase for this...

"Grasping at straws".

The similarities are just in your mind. Lets leave them there.

Have you ever considered looking up the meaning of the word opinion? There are people on this thread who agree with me, and those who don't. It's a matter of opinion. That's what this forum is for, posting and discussing opinions on the game. Or did that change when I wasn't looking? If you don't agree with me, fine, but there's no reason to be rude about it and imply that I'm stupid. It isn't really that big of a deal, they're both just games. I'm not sure I understand what I did that made you so ticked off at me. Or do you just treat everyone this way?

So... what? Their dirty faces and spikey hair? I'm sorry, I just don't see it.

Many people described Fallout as Oblivion with guns, and Skyrim is like Oblivion.

That's really to be expected. Like if an author writes two books he will write in his personal style because of who he is. And Bethesda had the same people working on both so the different games are crafted with the same style.

Me three

The only thing what reminded me on Fallout was the Lockpick game.

Actually, Fallout veterens were saying Fallout 3 was just like TES Oblivion. How ironic a reversal is happening here.

i just restarted fallout 3 [again] to see..and
the games are totally different
i prefer fallouts 3 leveling and perks, tho
[actually fallout 3 is simpler to play than skyrim- you chose what you want to level up-i like that and i generally had all stats at 100 by the time i finished all of the quests and DLC]
and i forgot there is a karma system in place in fallout 3 that is NOT in skyrim
actions really do have consequences in fallout 3.. i was always 100 good karma
big big difference between the games

They use the same font as in Fallout 3 for a start.

I would never confuse a screen shot between Fallout 3 and Skyrim, but it would certainly stand to reason that the Fallout 3 tech was a starting point for Skyrim.

Fallout 3 felt a lot more like TES than it did Fallout, especially when going through narrow one-path dungeons made of rock with wooden doors between sections. Not that that was really so bad. Skyrim feels more like Morrowind to me than Oblivion did, because of the creepier atmosphere.

totally the same, post apocaliptic DC/ Skyrim they are exactelly the same /sarcasm

I personally thought fallout 3 was a terrible game. It was a terrible sequel that did not capture the true charm of the original 2 games at all. For one thing it seemed to take itself way too seriously to be as campy as the original 2. Skyrim is not campy at all. it's an epic fantasy setting. its a tad on the over the top side but that is to be expected. I do not see how you could possibly compare Skyrim to fallout three. except for naming abilities perks as a stupid gimmick. which one of my first things I'm modding when the CK comes out is to get rid of all instances of the word Perk, and changing it to ability as it should be.

Yes, because FO3 had mountains and trees and snow.

And they are right, character handling fells much like Oblivion, Skyrim also has a lot in common with Oblivion this is why Skyrim feels like Fallout.
However if we look at the games I see few similarities between Skyrim and Fallout who was not present in Oblivion.
Lockpicking is obvious, perks is another different from Fallout but more like it than Oblivion.
Dialogues feel more like Fallout.
Crafting is from New Vegas but was also present in many Oblivion mods. Same with flowers who look picked.
