I'm thinking about trying Fallout 3, but so far I've been reluctant to buy it as I didn't enjoy Morrowind at all. Oblivion from what I could see was quite similar to Morrowind, albeit with more polish, and as a result I'm wary of anything Bethesda. So I was wondering if anyone else was disappointed with Morrowind and/or Oblivion but enjoyed Fallout 3? or did anyone feel Fallout 3 was just a chore?
I mention Bioware/Black Isle in the title as Baldur's Gate II and Planescape Torment are in a whole different league. These may have coloured my opinion significantly - by comparsion I found Morrowind to be utterly unengaging and soulless, lacking good characters and humour, and suffering from dull, simplistic magic combat in a pretty empty world. So how does Fallout 3 compare? Does it have random battles with enemies levelling up around you to break up wandering between areas? i.e. a load of filler to hide the lack of genuine content...
EDIT: thanks for all the responses, think I'm going to look for something other than Fallout 3.
