I voted Fallout 3. I really enjoyed Oblivion quite a bit, but I've never been crazy about games from that time period (medieval).

Fallout 3 hit the sweet spot for me!

I could never really get into Oblivion, I would always start a new story, get lost, then start a new story(The farthest I got was the first Oblivion Gate). Eventually I just gave up and put it on my pile of games to beat. I played through Fallout 3, so I would have to say that I liked it more. I will now try to go back to playing Oblivion, once my brother gets the game back from his friend at work.

While I liked it, Oblivion lacks a certain something to keep you interested.
Fallout 3 on the other hand, is almost impossible to stop playing ( on your own will at least). they are somewhat similar, but Fallout 3 is the more refined, and ultimately, the Superior of the two.

Fallout 3 for me, too. Not just for the art style, either, but because the whole world feels more realized. The NPCs are more aware that they're in a wasteland, and your communication towards them feels more realistic (Example: "What the hell are you doing out here?!?!?" when talking to a Ghoul outside near Super Mutants).

In Oblivion, there wasn't any emotion when talking to the characters.

And I much prefer the combat in Fallout 3. Because it's not entirely melee-based, you can sit back and relax more.

But just in general, Fallout 3 is more aware of its world, and feels more mature. Not to say Oblivion was anywhere near a bad game (it's still one of my favorites), but Fallout makes Oblivion look like Imagine: Babyz.

I love Fallout 3, but I do wish they had worked with the Fallout story

Far and away, Fallout 3. I certainly appreciate the obvious work that went into Oblivion, but as much as I tried, I couldn't enjoy the combat. Being that combat was such an integral part of that game, I couldn't fully enjoy it. I did enjoy the story, the good/evil alignment decisions, and the art style.

But the combat system improvements, using VATS, and just plain using guns instead of sword/shield made the game much more relatable for me.
