Skyrim is better than Fallout 3.

First, I would like to point out that the correct spelling is Skyrim. Also, this debate only includes Fallout 3. Not the entire fallout series. Con completely dismisses my argument: Skyrim has better graphics. I believe this is ill-advised considering graphics are a big part of the game. Although gameplay is more important than graphics, I speak for myself and many others when I say better graphics are appreciated. It’s harder to be immersed in a game if the graphics are bad. Con says, “Fallout is just as customizable as fallout (asuming he meant Skyrim) is when it comes to facial construction of your character. ” It may be true that Skyrim and Fallout 3 have the same number of ‘sliders’ used to modify your face, however, in Skyrim you can still modify more detailed facial structures. Allow me to explain with the example of skin tone. In Fallout 3, there are several ‘sliders’ that determine the skin tone of your character. In Skyrim, there is only one, but you can still achieve the same skin tones that are in Fallout 3. Basically, a lot of sliders in Fallout achieve the same result as fewer sliders in Skyrim. There is roughly the same number of sliders in both games, so it makes sense that Skyrim’s facial construction is more detailed than that of Fallout 3. Also, the better graphics in Skyrim obviously make your character more detailed. I am not sure I completely understand Con’s view on leveling, but I would still like to point something out. Con says, “In skirim your character will be doing the same skills day after day depending on what his race is or particular skill set is. ” This is not entirely true. You can choose to do any skill you want to do. In fact, achieving mastery in all skills is the only way to reach the maximum level. Your race only gives a slight advantage in some skills. This does not mean you are limited only to the skills your race excels at. My opponent claims, “Fallout's gameplay is modern and more appealing to the majority of a crowd. For example, my sister plays fallout and understands it, she is only 12, also my father plays it and is 45. They may not understand skirim's complex background. ” I am assuming that my opponent is trying to make the argument: More people can understand Fallout and this makes it better. If this is the case, then I have to disagree. While trying to introduce one of my friends to the world of video games, I showed her Skyrim. She had no trouble understanding the game even though she knew nothing about the previous games in the Elder Scrolls series. Bethesda does a good job of explaining everything you need to know about the game through dialogue with non-playable characters. I do agree Skyrim has a more complex backstory. This actually brings me to my next argument, though. 6. Skyrim has a better story Although knowing the story is not necessarily necessary, I still think a good story makes for a good game. The main quest line in Fallout 3 is about finding your dad (who had recently escaped from vault 101) and purifying water in the Capital Wasteland. The main quest line in Skyrim is about dealing with the dragon menace, Killing Alduin (the leader of the dragons), and saving the world. In my opinion, Skyrim’s main story is a little more exciting and better than that of Fallout 3. Also, the history of Skyrim is much more detailed, especially if you play all faction quest lines. 7. Character relations in Skyrim are better This may not be important to some people, but you can become more immersed in a game if it is more lifelike and relations are obviously part of life. In Fallout 3, your contact with other characters is limited to dialogue and companions. However, in Skyrim, in addition to what’s available in Fallout, you have housecarls, stewards, a spouse, and children. Stewards and children are only available in the Hearthfire DLC, though. 8. More people think Skyrim is better I would like to take a quote from my opponent’s opinion again. “Not statistically speaking, it's just all opinion. ” [3] (Located in my previous argument. ) With this in mind, I would like you to look at these three internet polls concerning Skyrim vs. Fallout. [4] [5] [6] As you can see, more people think Skyrim is better than Fallout 3. This sort of makes Con, yet again, contradict himself when saying Fallout 3 is better. These are some reasons why Skyrim is better. If you prefer one game to another, please vote unbiased. Sources: [4] . http://www.nextgenupdate.com... [5] . http://www.ign.com...
