I always felt like I was in the minority for saying this but I personally prefer the Fallout series (after 2) compared to the Elder Scroll franchise. The atmosphere was really amazing, the style (vintage-like style if that makes sense) really fit the game, and the gameplay was great with the VATS system feeling akin to oldschool JRPGs. Both have glitches, which really annoy me.

Tell me which one you prefer

Elder Scrolls. Both Skyrim and Oblivion are probably in my all time top 20 favourite games. I've never given Fallout a chance though...

Definitely Fallout, because I'm not a fantasy fan but a massive apocalyptic/dystopian fiction fan.

I refuse to answer this question. Both are just too good.

I went will Fallout.

1 & 2 are two of the best RPGs ever, gameplay is awesome, story is brilliant and the atmosphere is excellent.

Tactics, 3 and New Vegas are not as good but New Vegas is definitely the best 3D Fallout.

Good thing about Elder Scrolls are the graphics, open world, musics and immersion.

You should give it a chance, you might be pleasantly surprised! :)

Fallout by a hair, both are great series, but I love Fallout 3 just a tiny bit more than Skyrim.

This.

Fallout owns Elder Scrolls ;)

I agree, I prefer Fallout over TES by quite a bit.  Both good games though
