Haha i like fallout 3. I got it on ps3 haven't finished it yet. I know someone is making a ffvii mod on it's engine . I wanna try Rage too sometime.

Those requirements sound daunting!

Fallout 3 is a decent game, but I have my problems with it. When I used to play the actual game I'd get a lot of CTDs and it's not like I have a crap rig. The character animations were a bit stiff and the combat felt pretty unwieldy. I also didn't like that it removed some things that Oblivion had, like books and more compartmentalised armour. Large games will inevitably have their problems though and overall Fallout 3 was pretty good.

Im guessing your playing the PS3 version?
it has many bugs that arn't fixed yet and in xbox some are fixed but not all doubt they're ever gonna fix them since it's kinda old now Fallout new vegas was a disaster and no wonder it wasn't made by Bethesda but by some other company

Yes, I've been playing Skyrim.

Nah, I have it for PC otherwise I wouldn't be able to mod it. The last time I played the actual vanilla game was probably over a year ago, so maybe it's been patched more since then. I just remember newer games, like Crysis 2, Assassin's Creed, Empire Total War, etc running much smoother. It's a similar story with the GECK; sometimes it'll instantly crash when you do something... It's usually the same things, but it makes me wonder why they allow you to perform actions that will crash it :-/

Skyrim, to me, just looks like a funner, prettier Oblivion. I'll probably pick it up in a year when it's cheap.

Skyrim is a good game, but Bethesda is in dire need of a new coder. It's a good thing they are hiring, all of their gamebryo-based games (which skyrim also is) have shit optimization and it has nothing to do with the type of game it is. I've heard some people say they can't have better graphics or higher-res textures because of how big the game world is (which is idiotic)
