    I can safely say that the best single player experience I have ever had was Fallout 3. The game is amazing in nearly every way possible. After spending 150+ hours with the game throughout multiple characters, I started feeling a little tired of the game. I took a break, and came back to it today. To test whether or not I was truly sick of the game now, I fast traveled all the way up north to Raven Rock and decided to run down to Tenpenny Tower at the other end of the map to see if something would respark my interest.

    It's Been Fun
    It's Been Fun
    I didn't make it. About 3/4 of the way there, I called it quits. I just couldn't play anymore. Everything I did just felt so old, and I constantly got the "I've done this before" and the "I've been here before" feeling that I hate. The only hope I have left is if I get Point Lookout and Mothership Zeta. Until then, I must painfully say goodbye to an incredible game that I can just no longer play.

    I know how you feel, that's how I felt when I bought Morrowind for the PC a while ago when I had already played the heck out of it on the Xbox. I started playing and I was like...I remember this, they should have changed this, these lines aren't fully voiced, Oblivion fixed all these problems.

    I was just kind of sick of the same stuff that I was so familiar with. Plus those Pterodactyls..er, Windrunners? Are so freaking annoying.

    I still go back and play Oblivion every now and then, I can't see myself doing that with Fallout 3.
    That said I still loved Fallout 3.

    I just got it, and I feel like the people who wanted me to get it kind of oversold it.

    They were pretty easy to get. All you needed to do was save before you leveled up, drop your karma, level up, get achievement, and reload your save.

    Damn nate that took you a while. I've been done with this game for live two months. Point Lookout couldn't even get me back.

    That is already too much effort.
    Besides I'm level 29 now so I can't be bothered starting again right now

    @natetodamax: I get the same feeling with Oblivion. I must have poured hundreds upon hundreds of hours into that game, and it was well worth it. But I simply can't play it now. It just feels bland and can't keep my attention. The expansion packs kind of helped but they still didn't create the same reaction of awe that the game originally did.

    @JacobForrest: And it's only a matter of time before that happens to me. I have about 50 or so hours into Oblivion. That must mean I have about 100 left before I get sick of it

    I've actualy just got back into the game and it's amazing how quickly a bunch of hours can pass playing that game. I can spend an hour exploring 1 building in DC for everything it's worth.

    @natetodamax: Yeah, sounds about right. I can't put an accurate timer on it but I'd say after finishing the main quest and experimenting with many class combos it'll be worn out. For me the guild quests can be repeated without tedium but the main quest cannot.

    Ya know what's really weird is I can't, for the life of me, get into Oblivion. I just picked it up with the Bioshock bundle & the whole experience feels really underwhelming. Maybe it's because I poured 200+ hours into Fallout & they're too similar, or maybe it's because I'm not quite digging the LoTR feel. Either way I'm still trying, I'm still @ the very beginning & getting used to all the faggy "middle-earth" dialect.
    Soooo atleast I'm still giving it a try.

    I have taken a break from the game as well.  I would get the next expansion pack, Mothership Zeta, but I had to cancel my Xbox LIVE subscript t save money during my jobless summer.  I have had an absolute blast with Fallout 3, which, like you, I have out in ~150 hours into.  One of my favorite games so far this generation.

    Oblivion takes much more time to really get into.

    I've played Oblivion for probably 30-40 hours, but playing it just felt like a drag. Fallout on the other hand has the same amount of time put into it, but I still want more.
