The hassle comes from Fallout 3 not suporting Windows 7 and having to tweak some files to make it run. Or did that change after launch?

And I know they are very good value for the money, but the thing is that I don't like The Elder Scrolls games and I heard that these new Fallout games are similar to them. That's why I specially mentioned New Vegas since at least it is not made by Bethesda.

About Black Flag, how similar is it compared to the other AC games? Is the Assassins vs Templas story important? How much does the games spend with sea battles? (I don't want to buy it for that and find out that it's just a small portion of the game)

Okay, I haven't played Fallout 3 for a while. This little patch should fix the compatibility problems: http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/20371/?

If it doesn't, you can return the game on Steam.  But if you don't even like the Bethesda games like The Elder Scrolls (I love them), maybe it's not for you.

The sea battles of Black Flag are a big part of the game. Sid Meier's "Pirates!" is my favorite game of the '80s and my favorite C64-game, I also loved the SVGA-remake "Pirates! Gold" in the '90s and the PSP version in 2007. The sea battles and chasing other ship and attacking forts from the water and the following sword fights with the remaining enemies totally reminded me of these games.

It's not that I don't like The Elder Scrolls games, it is more than I don't enjoy them or find the appeal. In Oblivion the opening killed all my interest in the game (I'm in a prision cell, so I must be either a bad person or wrongly accused, the king comes and tells me about a dream. Then I espace and I'm supposed to be the savior of those who put me in jail? Bah!) but in Skyrim I got further into the game. It was ok, not bad but not great or mind blowing as everybody says.

But thanks for the patch and for selling me Black Flag.

In summary: Black Flag gains points, New Vegas stays mostly the same.
