Have a week off training and debating on what game to play/complete...
Got a choice

Fallout 3 - GOTYE or Mass Effect.

Love both types of game, after this week my game time will be very limited so what would you say it worth completing/playing and why?

Thank you kind sirs/madams.
 
I loved Fallout 3 ( so play it sometime), but Mass Effect is probably better overall.
 
If Mass Effect had a better combat system (I just didn't like it) I'd say that, but as it doesn't suit my tastes my choice would be FO3.
 
Only just got Fallout 3 today, but really can't beat Mass Effect for excellent story and cinematic feel that the whole experience provides.
 
mass effect

they are both in a league of thier own..fallout has a nice theme to it
 
FO3 for me. Massive fan of KOTOR so thought Mass Effect would grab me, but it didn't. Planning on reinstalling it at some point though.

I felt the same and in true Bioware fashion the first few hours were a slog, but once you get past Citadel and start exploring it really picked for me. I must have had the game over around a year and started it twice before finally getting into it.

Pretty much the same for me, started playing again a few days before ME2's release and promptly finished both games. Excellent Bioware stuff. Didn't get into FO3 but I'm sure I'll give it another go at some point.
 
Fallout 3 gets the vote from me.

IMO the gameplay is too linear in ME, limited in where you can walk around and what you can do etc. Still a very good game though.
 
Mass effect, not because its better per se, but because you might not manage to get everything done in fallout 3 in a week.

+1

ME will at least be possible to finish in the timespan mentioned.

I personally prefer FO3 tho hands down but you won't be doing it any justice if you cant commit to it fella.
