The "smartest" game you ever played

Oblivion is so much different from Fallout 2:
First, because Oblivion has a true linear story(a very boring one).
Second, because Fallout 2 is not linear and as a result the story then is focused in a different structure, which consists of the "side-stuff". It even gives you endings/consequences of the actions you have done throughout the game.

"The base minimum of "stuff" needed to get through the game from start to finish is what I define the "main story" as and by that definition, it is very shallow."

Well thank you, since you can finish Fallout 2 in just under 20 minutes... And Fallout 1 in under 10 minutes...



It's fine if you don't believe me just because I said it, as long as you don't judge Morte or Planescape: Torment from only 30min of play (and as I said, the beginning of the game is easily the most boring one).

I think the point I was trying to make by mentioning Oblivion went over your head so we'll move on.

Yes, I know you can beat Fallout 2 that quickly.  I've done it... well maybe not in 20 minutes.  I usually have to reload a couple times (annnoying unwinable fights...).

I can't judge them by anything else.  I realize it's an incomplete judgment and that's why I mentioned the time played in the first place.  ^_^
