Unmodded, which is better? Skyrim or Fallout 4? I hear Fallout 4 has a ton of item collecting, crafting, and general micromanagement, which I'm not a big fan of and that's kind of a deal breaker for me. Or are both games so fucking bad unmodded that they're not even worth it in the slightest? I just want a casual adventure game that I can chill out and play without thinking too much.
>>
>>389102843
dovahkiin wasn't prophesied anything

all it means is that can easily learn shouts. That's it. You're probably not even the only one in tamriel.

Unmodded Fallout 4 is much better, it's probably the best game Bethesda has made since Oblivion(which isn't saying much) It's still pretty meh, but it's playable without mods, unlike Skyrim.

>I just want a casual adventure game that I can chill out and play without thinking too much.

The reason Bethesda's games are popular is because you can do whatever the hell you please in them, if you don't want to collect items, or craft or micromanage then don't do it, just go shoot molerats and ghouls.
>>
>>389102843
Out of those two, definitely Skyrim.

Fallout 4 feels uninspired and bland. Not to mention it's difficult to actually roleplay in it because your character already has a set backstory and goal. Skyrim, while it has a lot of flaws, is at least pretty atmospheric and comfy.
>>
>>389102843

I don't want to be 'that guy', but New Vegas is better in role-play and story and in other regards than Fallout 4. Fallout 4 has settlement building and lots of (optional) customization. They both have elements that are better than the other, but New Vegas is overall better.

FO4 is the better shooter, NV is the better RPG. And its pure objective truth that all these games are better than Fallout 3. FO3 has aged horribly.

>>389103167
Yeah, when you haveWulfharth whose normal speaking turn into Shouts and die can use Shout to give his time to others, alongside a bunch of ancient Nords that shout down castle gates on a daily basis, Skyrim's PC is pretty pathetic

Some random guy who got lucky/unlucky enough to be chosen to go out (or quite literally drew the short straw) in the dangerous wasteland to go get some stupid water chip, and once he returns he learns the Super Mutants learned of the Vault's location. Because he's the only one who has any experience outside and is indirectly responsible for the Super Mutants learning of their location, he now has to go deal with them. He comes home and expects a hero's welcome, but instead gets cast out and forced to roam the wasteland alone.

I will admit I don't remember 2 too well.

2 is the tribal Chosen one and grandkid of 1's protagonist. The story doesn't really treat it like a big deal granted but his/her origins are way more impressive than the first game. 1's the only one where it's just some nobody from a vault, and even that is technically arguable since being from a vault is a big deal.

Skyrim has more content and better content. Fallout 4 is only better if you really want to shoot things with guns, so much so that it's your entire motivation to play it. Fallout 4 has a terrible story, laughable cliche side quests, and so many other flaws that I could sit here for the next hour going on about them.
I really wish Bethesda would treat Fallout with the same respect they treat Elder Scrolls with, the Fallout games they make just come across as "muh 50s" themeparks with no thought or care put into anything beneath the surface

>As opposed to what, shooter guy, space shooter guy, heavy shooter guy, explosive guy, and melee guy
Or charismatic guy, or good with machines type guy, or scientist guy, or doctor guy, or gambler guy etc. You don't believe an RPG needs only combat builds, right? Also most of Skyrim's magic is really mundane shit like fireballs (or some other elemental equivalent), cloak, or enhance stats a bit.

Even with Lonesome Road you're free to dismiss Ulysses' claims as mad ramblings, if you wish.

You can easily remain a nobody in Skyrim too. It's fun. Just don't do the quest that reveals you to be dragonborn. Dragons will never appear in your game and you will never shout. Being dragonborn is optional!

Fallout New Vegas is crap, stop pretending it isn't.
New Vegas has a good story narrative, and thats it. It failed in everything else.

The world is the worst open world game of the entire last two gens. Even MGSV had a better "open" world.
>hurr empty desert, scripted to be 100% linear and full of invisible walls if you do try to explore
The gameplay was typical clunky fallout 3 style shit.
The roleplaying was only average. (id say Skyrim is easily a better roleplaying game)

all in all, there is no comparison. Skyrim and to some extent FO4 are fun games to wander around in, they are open world roleplaying games. They have a lot of replay value because of that.
New Vegas is not open world or a roleplaying game, its just a Final Fantasy linear story driven narrative and then its over with 0 replay value.

Just like the morality choices are highly questionable and not even a matter of moral dillema. Let's look at Megaton

>Blow up bomb because why not lol: bad guy points -10

there's no moral dilemma to be had with this. It's not like Megaton is a cesspool of human civilization run by child rapist murderers. Just normal people.

Just like how you have the option to either do the water purifier, or do the thing with the modified FEV because lol why not

what role did you have in New Vegas?
Desert wanderer with a gun or desert wanderer with a spear? Oh wow! The options!
What path did you walk? a straight line in a desert? or.....the exact same straight line in a desert because you have no goddamn choice where you go.

The Elder scrolls engine is naturally better than the fallout one, but with the addition of things dual wield it got even deeper.
Meanwhile New Vegas still had clunky fallout 3 controls/animations.

New Vegas just sucked, im sorry to be the reality check for you. (not sorry)

Fallout 4 is loads of mindless fun, but unmodded means you'll have to listen to the player's voice, which kinda ruins things. FO4 is much better with the Silent Protagonist mod.

Skyrim is on a whole nother level though.
Skyrim is the KING OF GAMES. Don't let these 4chan memelords convince you otherwise. You owe it to yourself to play Skyrim. Especially if you want Chill.

You have a choice where to go in NV, you can go straight down the road or in a zig zag pattern.

Joking aside 3 and NV handle "role playing" in two completely different ways. 3 has the player creating their experience by choosing where to go and what to do. NV has the player choosing what to do within a set narrative, not unlike a "choose your own adventure" book. Neither approach is better than the other they are just different.

I think both FO3 and NV suck.
Though FO3 was at least open world, New Vegas is not even that.

New Vegas had decent writing, and thats literally all it had.
The Legion were mildly amusing though so clearly painted as "duh bad guys" that the game basically gives you shit just for siding with them.
Yes-Man was the best character in the whole game. Probably the only reason worth actually finishing it.
>>
>>389113652
cool story OP. If you genuinely believe that FO4 is superior, there's nothing That I can do to convinceyou otherwise.

For me, it's like asking wether I like star wars or Lord of the rings better. I like both of them a lot and recognize them as different experiences, even if you wanna underplay the replayability and variation of Fallout New Vegas.

Though just a reminder, you do realize that Skyrim is essentially a snowy, barren wasteland also, yes? With occasion caves and varying levels of said snow? And dwemer cities. Can't forget that.

Oh and you can collect flowers and butterflies, how fun. Very special, how could New vega compete.

Anyway, it's all good. Whatever floats your boat. Different strokes for different blokes. Don't see why you need to e upset about it all.

skyrim has more of an experience than fallout 4.
there is literally nothing to do in fallout 4 except build settlements for a bunch of worthless idiots.

Well this is unanimous truth at least

The irony of this comic is that while the Sole Survivor is "just some guy", FO4 does not make it subtle that you're supposed to be Nate and shoehorns you into your role if you want to see the game through, while the Dovahkiin can be practically anyone. It felt like I was playing an NPC.

Yeah I liked all those blocked off streets around the city that anyone could easily jump over the debris but you're forced to go through 300 different metro stations too

What do you want to kill youself? Just use mods, both games are unbearable otherwise.

If you want to play an RPG where you can do anything, play D&D, where you can cause the entire plot to shift from a normal adventure to a demon lord being summoned and confined

Fallout NV

>>389102843
No mods whatsoever, Skyrim is better. The world is bigger despite what Bethesda says and there is a lot more variation in quests.

But I highly suggest at least unofficial patch. Maybe if you hate the micromanagement stuff and hassle get Rich Merchants and some ring of carry type. You'll need both if you want to turn your brain off pretty much completely.

I felt like skyrim had more replayability, skill points were something you planned ahead, and the combat was just funner
Fallout 4 I felt more emotionally invested in the characters and companions, spent more time gathering and crafting, and felt more immersed
Id pick skyrim though, mostly because the weapons, fallout has a shitton of unique weapons, but you hardly use them, at least i dont, usually i just end up carrying a gun for each ammo type and range, customising the weapons was great too, but again, still end up with the same weapons no matter who you play as, in skyrim, when i create a character i already have an idea of am i going to use two handed this playthrough, am i going to be a stealth archer, a stealth archer, or maybe a stealth archer?
I dislike the 2d personalities of the followers in skyrim, but lydia was still more memorable than any fallout companion to me, maybe it's because you meet half of them in the first five minutes of leaving the vault?
also you cant put buckets on peoples heads in fallout 4, 0/10

>>389113205
new vegas being more linear in the early game than skyrim or fallout 4 actually makes it a better roleplaying game because everything has been written and planned to provide options for your character no matter what build or personality you're going with. by plotting a direct pathway for you, they were able to program different decisions for you to make based on who you're playing as.
goodsprings has a bethesda-tier choice of whether to go "good" or "bad" and while the good choice has better immediate rewards, the "bad" choice gets you in with an organization that gives you a solution for a quest in a later town
every area you go to with an issue has multiple solutions ranging from "walk away", "kill everyone" or "talk to people and figure out a solution" with the third option having the best rewards but the hardest path (unless you can fulfill speech checks or skill checks)
fallout new vegas is so fondly remembered because almost every quest in the game boils down to a choice between these three methods, with the third often having multiple ways to resolve things depending on your alignment (both morally and with factions), your skill build, and your previous actions
it's something that bethesda hasn't done in any game since morrowind, which is kinda sad

I remember doing this for a few particular builds and I had so much more fun with the game.

Skyrim's wyverns can fuck off

>>389102843
Skyrim without mods is still pretty comfy but the game was buggy as fuck even by Bethesda's inept low-level standards. Especially when comparing and contrasting the console versions. FO3 had some game breaking bugs before patches came in for it on the Xbox 360 and especially PS3 but jesus christ was the PC version awful early on.

So its really hard to say.

I enjoyed Skyrim far more, the exploration was really pretty great, and I very distinctly remember climbing up that big thousand step mountain and hearing a dragon roar, expecting a fight, but it was just flying around distantly over head, before curving behind another mountain and dissapearing. Really made the world feel alive, even as dumb as dragon fights turned out to be.

99% of the fun with Skyrim is finding, mixing, and matching mods to make it look better, improve everything about it, and then not playing it.

>>389111156
FO3 should've done much worse, then, considering it became progressively unplayable due to all the artefacting going on on the 360. It was like the void was tearing its way into reality every second.

>>389102843
>Unmodded, which is better?
That's irrelevant since mods are an necessary and integral part of the experience. Otherwise just play Witcher 3.

>>389102843
I've played skyrim for hundreds of hours, and fallout 4 for maybe ...8? I don't have it myself. Fallout 4 looks great, no question, and it's even pretty fun to play, but the quests are garbage, there's so much junk/ammo/guns lying around that you never feel like a scavenger in a post apocalyptic world; within about an hour you'll have more ammo than you'll ever use. Even playing on the hardest difficulty, the game is easy from the get go. Unlike early fallouts, it gives you late-game gear (and enemies) right off the bat, which really drains the satisfaction. The main questline is basically unfinished.

what's wrong with it?

>>389102843
Skyrim, but only because I'm a sucker for alchemy and skyrim does wonders when it comes to autistically scouring the map for ingredients.

>>389103167
You're literally The Last Dragonborn, the prophetic hero of the Elder Scroll that details Alduin's defeat. At least Morrowind made you mantle Nerevar before the prophecy meant anything.
>>
>>389102843
unmodded? Skyrim hands down. Im playing fallout 4 just to beat the dlc and finally throw in the trash and forget about it.
