I love them both. If you want in depth tactical rpgs, play diablo.

Diablo isn't really a RPG. It's a hack n slasher with RPG elements.

If you have a close look at the Fallout and Elder scrolls series they are just about interchangable. Only limited by their Release date and In game timeline. The Fallout series had a good storyline flowing from 1 and 2 but with 3 the game had changed hands from Interplay to Bethesda. But i had found the Elder scrolls series a bit difficult to follow, but it was still a fun game to play with the hunting and looting of caves, Etc.

I have to admit I HATED Morrowind. I went in expecting a good game after all I enjoyed Oblivion and I heard how everyone enjoyed Morrowind more and was shocked at how bad I thought it was.

I actually consider it one of the worst games I ever played. I REALLY hated it. *shrugs*

I don't know what you're talking about, Fallout is most certainly not interchangeable with Elder Scrolls. For the first 2 Fallout games, they had nothing in common with any Elder Scrolls games. The third one had only 3 things in common: Publisher, viewpoint, and free-roaming (And controls, I suppose. But you could say that about almost every game from the first person perspective nowadays). New Vegas is basically Fallout 3.5, and doesn't really make any mechanical changes.

Except for iron sights, which should have been in anyway.

I've played the two most recent titles from both, and they're the only ones that are really comparable IMO. I find I can spend hours playing both, Skyrim is epic, however I hated Oblivion's mechanics and while Skyrim's mechanics for combat improved it's only major downfall is in the Characters. I could give a skaven's rear if any of my pack mules/followers die. However in Fallout:NV I had a real vested interest in Boone and Ed-e. So to me, while both are good in their own right Fallout is champion. Also another problem with TES is that I can join any guild regardless of what class I'm actually doing, I just haven't because I'm a good sport about that sort of thing.

I liked Fallout 3's Setting, and I liked the improvements of Fallout:NV. Sniping out Cottonwood Cove was one of the best experiences I ever had in an FPS. Hmm... I really can't wait to see where they go with the series. I'm hoping for something set near Seattle or Washington State. And I know that the game is about the American experience of the post war, but I think seeing other countries might be interesting.

Fallout 3 was Washington mate

No, it was Washington D.C. There's an actual State called Washington. It's where all the apples come from.

Don't feel too bad for not knowing about it, seems like nobody does

That apples come from Washington? How can people not know that!?

And Washington D.C. is not in that state? That's just idiotic.

They're on opposite sides of the country, like 2500 miles apart. Like driving from Madrid to Moscow.

Wow... just.... wow...

It's to confuse foreigners. If you guys invade you'll hit the wrong, unimportant Washington. (by which I mean DC of course.)
