Liked oblivion at first but just lost interest all of a sudden. I like fo3 mainly as its got guns and its era of post apocalyptic setting which i usually enjoy. Also the faces on them characters from oblivion sucked a lot fo3 looks far nicer in that area.
Did you hate Oblivion but love Fallout 3?

I found Oblivion to be awfully dull, which is surprising, as first-person RPGs have always captivated me as far back as The Bard's Tale, through the Might & Magic series to the present day. I really tried to like it and dedicated a lot of time to getting into it but I just couldn't. The stupid, broken levelling system didn't help, either.
F3 on the other hand I so far think is great (after about 10 hours of gameplay). I should point out here as well that I played F1 and F2 back in the day, and played them through again many times since, so I was one of those fanboys whining pre-release about how Bethesda was probably going to produce a visually-slick insult to the Fallout legacy. It is a very pleasant surprise that they have made me eat my words on that.

Guns > bow and arrows
I never got into oblivion, i dont like the setting with the characters, im enjoying fallout so far, but ive only just got outside, im hoping it wont be as overwhelming as oblivion was.

I'm the other way round. Oblivion was the game I bought with my 360 and it was the only 360 game I had for 4-6 months. So, that was the only game I played on the 360 and enjoyed it a lot.
never completed oblivion, as it just seemed too long... and yeh boring, considering giving it another go until i find money to buy fallout 3. lucky i keep all the save files and patches on an external
the main quest isn't but everything around it is
i hope so ,
would be cool if you could fix the scooters that are about and drive those
or make a jet ..
I've got FO3 and am quite enjoying it although I have to be in the right frame of mind to play it.
I couldn't get into Oblivion either, mainly because at the time my PC was pretty crap and it ran horribly.
It's deffinatley a good RPG but you have to have the patience to play it like all other RPG's otherwise you go in expecting "action, action , action" and are let down.
So in responce to the OP, didn't hate it mainly because ran like crap and its outdated now, and I do like FO3 (love is a bit much, I've only been playing it 8hrs and I'm not one to committ so easily
)I liked Oblivion, but damn it was rough around the edges. It was pretty much broken out of the box, and is only playable now with lots of mods. The leveling system was the biggest problem in my opinion, combined with the fact that all NPC's were boring and lifeless.
Fallout 3 is, simply put, the next evolutionary step. The leveling system is much more refined and less stupid. The world and NPC's genuinely feel compelling, and there have been numerous improvements to dialogue, the interface and the whole way the game works. It's much more accessible to me as a gamer, so I'd pick Fallout 3.
What I'm most excited about now is the prospect of Bethesda working a number of these well conceived changes into the next Elder Scrolls, it would be nice to see a somewhat intuitive levelling system and world that is much more alive in the next Elder Scrolls. Here's to hoping.
