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.

This represents exactly my impressions of the game. If you like VATS and the setting you will love this game!
