Question: Is the gameplay in Fallout 3 similar to the gameplay of The Elder Scrolls?

I'm asking because it's on offer and I want to try it, but I didn't like Oblivion so if both games/franchises have similar gameplay then I won't waste money buying it.

Well it's the same engine and dev team so their are similarities, but the focus on guns and the addition of the VATs system means the combat plays quite differently. The quest and dialog structure however is very close so if that is what bothered you in Oblivion then that is still an issue. However the setting and tone of the writing is very different.

Hmm.

My problem with Oblivion is that I couldn't get into it. I started in that cell, see the King passing by telling I don't know what about a vision, then escaping through those secret passage and finally reaching the outside and then... nothing. Why should I go to that other side of the map? Because the King said so? And who am I and why should I do it?

I don't know how to explain it. I wasn't compelled to do what I was supposed to do so the game lost me.

Does Fallout 3 (or New Vegas) start the same way or do you know why you are doing the things you do?
