Would I like Fallout 3?

[Reasonable]

Interesting. I should probably say the reason that I hated Oblivion was because of the combat, I only left the sewer, then I just had no desire to continue with the awful combat. I didn't think the ME combat was great, but it was fine. I do like the idea of a gigantic game world to explore..

Ah.  You might well like Fallout then.  Combat in Oblivion was a bit rubbish I'd agree (even though the lure of the big world was enough to get me past it).  In Fallout 3, combat without VATS is a bit rubbish too.

However, combat in Fallout 3 with VATS (i.e. basically more or less ignorning real time FPS combat and going RPG orientated) is actually pretty good.  Probably 90% plus of my combat was VATS with only some last minute true FPS panic when I ran out of power to use VATS during a big fight.

With VATS, Fallout 3 is much more enjoyable than Oblivion IMHO - I prefer the setting too, so that's worth bearing in mind when you judge my comments.
