I started Fallout 3 yesterday. I have Silent Hill: Downpour, and would like to play that, but most people say it's really terrible, and it is a survival horror game and my nerves are still shredded from Dead Space. I think I might start playing it when I finish LA Noire. Note: Cole is a knob.
It's a really good game (so far), and I can see the obvious similarities to The Elder Scrolls, although probably with less magic and Daedric Princes, I'm guessing. I may have also already accidentally slept with a prostitute. I'm assuming she and my character just cuddled. There's only one thing I find a bit weird, and that's the set-up. Whereas in The Elder Scrolls, you come into each game full-grown and with some sort of mysterious but definite past of adventuring behind you, in this game you come out of an underground base - and everyone you meet seems to know you've come out of an underground base - and they're still all "you should do this quest for me, you have WAY MORE EXPERIENCE in the Wasteland than I do!". I feel like my character should be saying "I think maybe YOU have more experience in the Wasteland, and also being OUTSIDE, than I do".
I don't know why I'm griping though. This is the same game where in that same vault, a group of boys decided to form a gang at 10, and by 16 - in an underground vault where supplies are extremely limited - had managed to fashion themselves leather jackets with snake logos on them. I bow to your superior knowledge, Fallout 3.
