Well, both are great in my opinion. I found that both story lines were good, Fallout and Skyrim are just two great games, for world wandering and leveling, I'd say Skyrim but for warlike killing, Fallout.

I'd go with Skyrim, hopefully in the next Fallout game, they don't have clipping glitches and all the bugs that they have in previous versions...
The following user thanked Pichu for this useful post:
Skyrim has a better world with more to do and larger map.
Fallout 3 is good fun love the post apocaliptic world and characters but that shit ending killed it until you got the DLC.
Fallout New Vegas was meh never really liked it the world felt really boring quests were better but New Vegas felt desolate and boring where as fallout 3 felt more alive and realistic.
shouldn't it be fallout vs. the elder scrolls... I don't think that skyrim is the best elder scroll, by far, its way to action characterized for me. But then again no wonder they ruined a good RPG title.
