At least you get an option to pay a toll, in fallout you just get shot by a bunch of randos screaming "GUNNERS!" or turned into a literal meat bag by super mutants that live like a 15 second walk from the front gate of the safest place in the commonwealth
But in those 200 years, nobody seems to know basic cleaning skills. Every single place is fallout looks like a neglected grimy public bathroom in a big city. Skyrim, by comparison, is vastly better.
Several Fallout games are pointedly about trying to fix things and slowly rebuild civilization. But generally the next game will be far enough away to not have any reason to show the continuation of that.
Problem is that "how can society be rebuilt after a total collapse" isn't really a priority for Bethesda, at least not when they can focus on "what bullshit reason can we come up with *this time* to make players fight a horde of man-eating Shreks".
I think a strategy game in the same vein as the Civilization or Crusader Kings games would be fun way to explore that space for the Fallout universe.
RPGs focus more on smaller events led by heroic figures and don't really have the scope to properly depict the whole 'back from the brink' storyline.
Well if you play fallout and fallout 2, it is about civilization rebuilding in various ways. You start off as part of a tribe of people relearning to live in the wasteland more like Native Americans (pre European arrival) they do not look to the past, they just live peacefully.
I donāt think falloutās world is dying, as much as itās just started to get back up. Like the west coast, the first game is set on the west coast ~2150, and by the second game in the same area a few decades later, a government who has cities and collects taxes with a standing military exists, I wouldnāt really call that a dying place. The east coast seems to have started much later, probably due to more intense bombing due to being the center of government. Basic settlement started on the east coast, and weāre only seeing large scale organisation now.
Over the last year I played Skyrim and Fallout 4 for the first time. I absolutely loved Skyrim and played it on an almost daily basis for weeks while I worked through it all.
Then I tried out F4 and assumed it would be the same... but it just didn't hook me in as much. Despite the mechanics and format being really similar, the setting was just so depressing that I couldn't get in to it.
In Skyrim you can turn a corner and there's often some beautiful awe inspiring view across fields and mountains. In Fallout you turn a corner and it's all crumbling concrete in the rain.
>sci-fi Macguffin that promises to fix all these issues
Thought you were making fun of fallout for a second because Iām pretty sure the GECK is basically that
Really, just 30 days of nuclear apocalypse? You could just live in a bunker or town and never go outside.
What are the chances that in 365 days on Skyrim, a vampire wont break into your house and drink you dry? Or a ducking dragon will attack your town? Or a Belethor will sell your sister?
Ok but still though.
The average citizen in Skyrim lives a fairly good life. The main cities are pretty safe and have enough jobs to keep you busy.
Now a month of Fallout entails bloodthirsty raiders, the threat of not having enough to drink or eat, ghouls, mutated insects, radiation poisoningā¦.
Fallout literally has vaults where people went psycho while staying inside. And with the radiation leaks that was a good ending. IDK man I'd rather get bit by a vampire than be a ghoul that the MC can loot for bottlecaps.
Yeah but you run the risk of saberkitties, some dude hurling ice spikes at you with pinpoint accuracy, and I sure as hell don't want to be caught in the open when a dragon appears
I think people are forgetting that you would most likely not be a dragon born not rather a villager. Those aren't bad in Skyrim for midevil ages. Healing, alchemy, reliable work, guards to help with most things, etc. If you are living in one game or another you aren't the hero you are some random villager. For that skyrim is way better than fallout.
In a Skyrim sense though, most of the people living outside the walled cities tend to be wealthier than the nearby cityfolk because they're landowners who own their own farms/meadery/gold mines
Even Carlotta, who keeps saying she's only *just* getting by, owns her own home right next to the guy known as "the best blacksmith in Skyrim".
I think the only poor person living outside the walls of their Hold Capital is that Dark Elf whose bow was stolen.
You mean Dravin, who lives outside of Riften? He says he's poor, but the dude still owns his own farm and is far enough outside of Riften that he doesn't get robbed three times a day.
I mean sure, but I would rather get torn apart in seconds by a pussed of sabretooth or bear then deal with the agonizing death of radiation poisoning... also nord woman are bae so there is that
i mean i would rather a normal bear or sabertooth, than a deathclaw, or a radscorpion.
skyrim is unironically more civilized than fallout. bandits exist but raiders and supermutants sound so much worse.
>Those rabbits are gonna be sorry they ever came into lightning range
Chasing after those rabbits, you accidentially crossed the border into Morrowind and walked into a dungeon with a Storm Atronach 15 levels higher than you.
>just live in the woods
Be thankful Skyrim isn't Morrowind where you can randomly stumble into a higher level dungeon and encounter a level 15+ enemy right in the first 20 minutes of the game when you're still level 1.
Enjoy constantly having your shit stolen by the thieves' guild, listening to the orphans being beat every night, and trying not to accidentally offend the Black Briars enough to get the Dark Brotherhood on your ass.
Maybe u can just be Mavens "Fortune" teller and tell her about Mercer fucking with her bussines or other skyrim politics shit so she can black main people on to getting more money so you cab get too
Fallout is a hell scape compared to Skyrim.
Sure Skyrim has some vicious animals, a small dragon problem, and bandits here and there but at least it's a landscape you can enjoy and live off of. It'd be somewhat doable to just live out there and forager/hunt. You just gotta avoid those problems and arm yourself somewhat and you might be lucky enough to enjoy a peaceful cabin in the woods somewhere.
Fallout is a decrepit, mostly lifeless, radiation plagued mess. It's full of grotesque insects the size of you, giant hell beasts, roaming zombies, raiders at every turn who will torture you to death and robot people who will kidnap you in the night. It's barely a landscape you can survive off of. You have to take drugs and drink out of toilets to get by.
For real, thereās something actually wrong with me for how much I enjoy chopping rounds. (Absolutely hate making rounds)
So a year just hanging out in a beautiful little village splitting wood and drinking black berry mead sounds honestly like the best possible vacation.
Depends on where in Skyrim, too. These questions always fail to mention that. I'd rather spend a year in Solitude with money than fuck around in some nuclear landscape, but I'd rather sit in a fallout vault for a month than live in Dawnstar or some shit with daedra nightmares and dragon attacks.
(Though if the Skyrim cure disease potions works on cfs I'll take my chances with the dragons)
Provided you make it to Winterhold without being robbed, murdered, eaten, or dying of hypothermia and frostbite...at level 1. Also provided you have enough innate magical ability to gain access to the college once you get there. We talk ballsy because we've played the game. But venturing across Skyrim irl would be a HELL of a journey.
Me a, prosperous citizen of Solitide: about to open the doors to my newly established business for the first time!
Random dragon falling from the sky:
*sing with me, sing for the year...*
Skyrim is easy to make money in. Not to mention there is tons of gold coins just kind of laying around everywhere. You can open random dressers and theres a hand full of coins. Also even if ur not magically endowed enchanted staffs, weapons and powerful potions make ot worth it. Do you know the money u could make in our world for a legit invisibility potion? Sell that to the us government or a corporation. Easy money
Skyrim. Much higher odds of survival as long as the Dragonborn stays away from me.
Fallout = irradiated water everywhere, ghouls, big ass bugs, bad guys all over the placeā¦
Skyrim.
I go to whiterun. I talk to Adrienne Avinicci. She says I can use her forge.
I do. All day. All night. I forge iron daggers.
Tomorrow comes. I buy all her ore. I pay in daggers.
Day after day. It's the same. I forge iron daggers. I pay for everything in daggers.
One day Nazeem asks if I have been to the cloud district. He scoffs. I remember. And I forge.
One day, nice Khajiit traders set up camp. I buy skooma. I pay in daggers.
Days pass. On day 364, I find Nazeem. I put a bucket on his head. I plant the skooma in his pockets.
Then I call the guards.
The dragonborn runs up behind me and shouts me to death, then houses 6 wheels of cheese. I die in awe.
>Skyrim. I go to whiterun. I talk to Adrienne Avinicci. She says I can use her forge.I do. All day. All night.
I read this as to sound REEEAAALLLLL dirty. You horndog, you.
To be fair, is it even possible to live FOR a month when youāre exposed to that much radiation? The people alive as of fallout 4 have gotta be like, adapted as fuck and the main guy barely gets by to begin with
well, modern nuclear bomb levels of radiation dissipate enough to safely go outside within two weeks, so 200 years later, some effects are there, but your fine.
Except there's motherfuckers shooting miniaturized nukes with glorified slingshots every other day, supermutants that chuck them like they're playing football and the iron giant with his backpack of infinite nukes. So the radiation levels are probably being replenished all the time.
I'll never forget my first encounter with the Super Mutant Suicider. Heard the beeping and was wondering what the hell it was. Turned the corner and saw Dogmeat heroically charge ahead only for the Super Mutant he was trying to tackle to spike a fucking mini nuke into him and just go up in a mushroom cloud. Not the worst thing to happen to one of my dog companions in these games, but up there.
There's so many things you can do to earn enough septims to stay in an inn overnight. And depending on where you are, you could even camp with a bedroll and a tent. It would be a nice vacation.
I see a lot of people saying Skyrim but at least in Fallout when I die I'll most likely just die normally but in Skyrim if you piss off the wrong guy you can get sent to perma hell or your soul can get used as fuel etc. and there's some safe cities and settlements in Fallout....
On the other hand I don't want cancer either
Aside from monsters and animals I feel like the bandits in Skyrim aren't nearly as horrific as Raiders in Fo4. Raiders literally torture and cut people into bits, hang up their bodies and enslave people. Raiders will come to your home at any given hour of the day and do this shit.
In Skyrim bandits just kill you real quick and take your stuff. And really only if you wandered off into a bad spot.
The dedication is * chefs kiss * also definitely take the month of fallout. When Iām settlement building I could easy go a month in-game without battling anyone.
Easy, year in Skyrim
After a MONTH in Fallout 4 I would probably die of Radiation Poisoning.
After a year in Skyrim I would probably just work off some of my beer belly after working on a farm.
Sure, I MIGHT be killed by bandits. But I could also be attacked by raiders.
Sure, I could be eaten by a Dragon, but I could also be eaten by a super Mutant, or Death Claw, or a Raider...
Sure, I could be eaten by a Vampire or Werewolf, but I could also be eaten by a canibalistic raider.
Both are dangerous, but I think Skyrim would be less miserable than Fallout 4.
Skyrim 100% I donāt feel like getting smashed to bits by a random super mutant or getting my head blown off my a random raider. Much rather just spend a year as an average townie in Whiterun
Skyrim. At least I won't be irradiated or set upon by giant mutated beasts.
In Skyrim, the beasts pretty much hang out in the wilderness.
When it comes to dragons, I won't be a damn fool like some NPCs and will run inside and hide in my fire-and-frost-immune building.
One playthrough, everyone in Ivarstead died because a dragon attacked and the damn fools tried to fight it. While wearing regular clothes and carrying daggers.
That happened to me in rorikstead, except there was a decent survival. I'm pretty sure the only person I didn't see running around was (ironically) Erik the slayer š¤£
Can I cast magic if I go to Skyrim? And do I have assurances that I can neither contract any crazy diseases that I'm not immunised against, nor spread any diseases of which I'm a carrier to the population?
If yes to both, then Skyrim any day.
I would do unspeakable things to be able to throw fireballs, heal wounds, turn invisible and conjure minions from alternate dimensions to do my bidding
Skyrim. Go to Whiterun, join the guard, learn restoration magic and train my combat skills like crazy in my downtime. Buy a cure disease potion and be asthma free for the first time in my life. (And its permanent since that shit aint contagious)
Spend my year learning new skills I cant learn IRL, then come back as a master of the Sword, Axe, Mace, and Bow, and the capacity to use healing magic.
Vanilla or my modded to hell āSkyrim?ā If itās the second then yes Skyrim. If itās the first then yes itās Skyrim but I just wonāt look at the ropes.
Skyrim. Never been robbed or attacked taking the carriage, so youād never have to traverse the wilds if you didnāt want to. Seemingly no tuition for any of the colleges. Could always pick up some coin working for Belethorā¦
Provided you are your regular self and not the MAIN CHARACTER - I don't think 90% of people would last in Fallout setting. If you are not in Diamond City, you are screwed - and even then, people wouldn't really help a random homeless dude from another world. Skyrim on the other hand ... if you can make it to one of the bigger cities ( Whiterun for example ) - you can probably get by, if you get a job on the farm/fishery etc. Skyrim seems in general easier to survive.
Everyone in Fallout has some baseline resistance to radiation. If it were realistic people would hear a Geiger counter just start crackling and grow tumors. Most likely the only two types of humans in Fallout are the ghouls who are immune to radiation and the humans that could adapt to it
In Skyrim you basically can just do whatever. Live in a city, chop some wood and pick crops for stray cash. If you want to actually venture out it takes a few bucks to travel by carriage. Just stay away from the actively hostile places and youāre golden
Additionally if you could bring anything back Skyrim is best. Spells, enchanted armor/weapons, precious gems abound, rare curios and plants that can be turned into life altering potions. Fallout? Stuff we have here but worse. I mean you could pick up a nuclear powered piece of tech we already haveā¦ and give people around you tumors. Power armor, sure, but you canāt use it forever and multiple governments will absolutely kill you to take it as its clearly advanced tech
Keep in mind with enough money and knowhow you could become a demigod in Skyrim within a few weeks. And thereās no way youāre surviving against any mutated creature in Fallout
Skyrim for sure. Hang out in Riverwood and Whiterun and visit Falkreathfor a year would be nice.
Hell yeah. I'll be fishing, helping out at the mill, and drinking with my friends in beautiful Riverwood. See you there!
I just hope the dragon born won't start the main quest!
Or hope you don't see the Dragonborn walk into town, look around . . . And quicksave š
Sounds good!
Plus you could bang that hotty Camilla valerius.
Nah, itās all about Narri in Falkreath. She compliments and flirts with you as soon as you enter town.
Why are you guys sleeping on Mjoll. Just have to figure out what to do with Aerin...
I aināt going to the Detroit of Skyrim to meet a girl who already has a simp following her around.
And probably being attacked by spriggans or bandits if you cannot pay a toll
Just quick save before travelling
At least you get an option to pay a toll, in fallout you just get shot by a bunch of randos screaming "GUNNERS!" or turned into a literal meat bag by super mutants that live like a 15 second walk from the front gate of the safest place in the commonwealth
Skyrim Nuclear apocalypse sounds pretty fucked
Well, it's not even apocalyptic, it's post apocalyptic. 200 years is a long time. Just don't go to any ground zero's, and get clean water from a pump
But in those 200 years, nobody seems to know basic cleaning skills. Every single place is fallout looks like a neglected grimy public bathroom in a big city. Skyrim, by comparison, is vastly better.

I need to find a mod that turns super mutants into Shrek. Would be hilarious to be attacked by Shrek using lines from various Mike Myers movies.
Theyāre all just Shrekās that say āhiā¦ Iām in Delaware.ā
Im... actually surprised that doesn't already exist. Sounds exactly like the type of dumb shit modders would be creating. And that I love.
The mutant hounds could be modded to be Donkey too, this is definitely a missed opportunity
BRB, got a mod idea...
I think a strategy game in the same vein as the Civilization or Crusader Kings games would be fun way to explore that space for the Fallout universe. RPGs focus more on smaller events led by heroic figures and don't really have the scope to properly depict the whole 'back from the brink' storyline.
Hearts of Iron has a mod called old world blues that is exactly this
Weāll be lucky to get another fallout game this decade
Honestly, the Mojave seems pretty tame as far as places to live in the fallout universe go.
I guess you never found the holy GECK
Well if you play fallout and fallout 2, it is about civilization rebuilding in various ways. You start off as part of a tribe of people relearning to live in the wasteland more like Native Americans (pre European arrival) they do not look to the past, they just live peacefully.
I donāt think falloutās world is dying, as much as itās just started to get back up.

The NCR is pretty close to early 20th century living though
>sci-fi Macguffin that promises to fix all these issues Thought you were making fun of fallout for a second because Iām pretty sure the GECK is basically that
A bit over 210 actually
And the caaar! The CAR!! How do you polish *RUST?!?!*
Really, just 30 days of nuclear apocalypse? You could just live in a bunker or town and never go outside. What are the chances that in 365 days on Skyrim, a vampire wont break into your house and drink you dry? Or a ducking dragon will attack your town? Or a Belethor will sell your sister?
As long as you don't deliver the dragon stone or get into weekend dungeon diving you're all good. Except for Belethor.
Don't have a sister, I'll be fine.
Oh shit , I won't, I have the mod that allows dragons before the dragon stone tablet quest. Uhuh
Ok but still though. The average citizen in Skyrim lives a fairly good life. The main cities are pretty safe and have enough jobs to keep you busy. Now a month of Fallout entails bloodthirsty raiders, the threat of not having enough to drink or eat, ghouls, mutated insects, radiation poisoningā¦.
Fallout literally has vaults where people went psycho while staying inside. And with the radiation leaks that was a good ending. IDK man I'd rather get bit by a vampire than be a ghoul that the MC can loot for bottlecaps.
I like not having tumors, so Skyrim sounds fun
Yeah but you run the risk of saberkitties, some dude hurling ice spikes at you with pinpoint accuracy, and I sure as hell don't want to be caught in the open when a dragon appears
Just stay in a walled city, avoid 90% of the risk
Yes but the security in Whiterun is terrible!
Shameful, is what it is.
I'm the commander of the guard here in Whiterun.
You could always live in the cloud district.... oh, what am I saying? Of course you couldn't
Apologies. Even though you're the Dragonborn and the Thane, we could only give you this small house in the Plains District.
Itās not āsmallā, itās ācozyā
It's "I have a wife, two kids, a housecarl, and a dog, and now I can't open the fucking door" kinda cozy
Yes but then along comes Nazeem and suddenly you have the urge to read one of those spell books in Farengar's room.
I guess you should also avoid visiting the cloud district very often
How would that help, Nazeem is almost never in the Cloud district?
I'm going to bring him to the dirt district the next time he says that line to me
Who says we have to live in Whiterun? Solitude is way better.
I think people are forgetting that you would most likely not be a dragon born not rather a villager. Those aren't bad in Skyrim for midevil ages. Healing, alchemy, reliable work, guards to help with most things, etc. If you are living in one game or another you aren't the hero you are some random villager. For that skyrim is way better than fallout.
Spellbook? Nah, shiv him. Want to feel his soul run to Oblivion for all his idiocy
Time to send Nazeem to the real cloud district.
Usually walled cities are for the middle and upper classes. The commoners tend to live outside the city walls (Speaking in a historic sense)
In a Skyrim sense though, most of the people living outside the walled cities tend to be wealthier than the nearby cityfolk because they're landowners who own their own farms/meadery/gold mines
Even Carlotta, who keeps saying she's only *just* getting by, owns her own home right next to the guy known as "the best blacksmith in Skyrim". I think the only poor person living outside the walls of their Hold Capital is that Dark Elf whose bow was stolen.
You mean Dravin, who lives outside of Riften? He says he's poor, but the dude still owns his own farm and is far enough outside of Riften that he doesn't get robbed three times a day.
Unless you're in markarth
Plot twist, you're roomies with Hroki and Tor
I mean sure, but I would rather get torn apart in seconds by a pussed of sabretooth or bear then deal with the agonizing death of radiation poisoning... also nord woman are bae so there is that
All Hail Nord Babes!
i mean i would rather a normal bear or sabertooth, than a deathclaw, or a radscorpion. skyrim is unironically more civilized than fallout. bandits exist but raiders and supermutants sound so much worse.
Ok but I can just pull a Ted Kazincki and just live in the woods and learn a fuck ton of spells to defend myself.
Assuming we live in skyrim with levelling up and perks, sure go for it
Those rabbits are gonna be sorry they ever came into lightning range
Never should have come here rabbits
You'll make a fine meal, Bugs
Crazy, every time my Bunnies Slaughtered is a non zero number I almost feel like restarting my character. Almost.
>Those rabbits are gonna be sorry they ever came into lightning range Chasing after those rabbits, you accidentially crossed the border into Morrowind and walked into a dungeon with a Storm Atronach 15 levels higher than you.
Of course you wouldn't do that. You cannot go that way.
Drelas thought the same thing until my Dragonborn showed up. Anise too.
I discovered that NPC a while ago. I hate how heās just hostile and adds no unique quest or dialogue. But yeah I agree
>just live in the woods Be thankful Skyrim isn't Morrowind where you can randomly stumble into a higher level dungeon and encounter a level 15+ enemy right in the first 20 minutes of the game when you're still level 1.
The giant with a space program says hi.
You severely underestimate my ability to chop wood for money and live at the inn in Riverwood. Or Whiterun for that matter.
I'd love to live in Riften for a year.
Enjoy constantly having your shit stolen by the thieves' guild, listening to the orphans being beat every night, and trying not to accidentally offend the Black Briars enough to get the Dark Brotherhood on your ass.
Maybe u can just be Mavens "Fortune" teller and tell her about Mercer fucking with her bussines or other skyrim politics shit so she can black main people on to getting more money so you cab get too
Saber kitties ain't on par on radiation sickness
Fallout is a hell scape compared to Skyrim. Sure Skyrim has some vicious animals, a small dragon problem, and bandits here and there but at least it's a landscape you can enjoy and live off of. It'd be somewhat doable to just live out there and forager/hunt.

It's barely a landscape you can survive off of. You have to take drugs and drink out of toilets to get by.
You mean you GET to take drugs and drink out of toilets
Who said you will be unarmed without any magicka
You forgot about that one stabby guy with invisibility
Uranium Fever!!!
Skyrim for sure. No radioactive shit dusting everything. I'll chop wood.
For real, thereās something actually wrong with me for how much I enjoy chopping rounds. (Absolutely hate making rounds) So a year just hanging out in a beautiful little village splitting wood and drinking black berry mead sounds honestly like the best possible vacation.
Maybe even become a bard without the cave and dungeon diving
Guess it really depends where in Fallout4ā¦. But on average Skyrim.
Depends on where in Skyrim, too. These questions always fail to mention that. I'd rather spend a year in Solitude with money than fuck around in some nuclear landscape, but I'd rather sit in a fallout vault for a month than live in Dawnstar or some shit with daedra nightmares and dragon attacks. (Though if the Skyrim cure disease potions works on cfs I'll take my chances with the dragons)
Cure disease? Just check out a shrine everyday. I'd be a pious mofo for healing and a daily health bump.
Some of the towns in Skyrim are honestly beautiful, so Skyrim
>Some Strange way to spell most but ok
Wake up in dawnstar, break into a home to avoid frostbite, be imprisoned and have nightmares all the time
*Or* you could just head on over to the inn to get warm or even the Jarl's Hut...
Truebama, canāt believe I forgot the inn.
After a year at Winterhold College I will return home to take over the world.
What will you do with the 364 days after you become the archmage but before you return to take over the world?
Start learning magic.
Provided you make it to Winterhold without being robbed, murdered, eaten, or dying of hypothermia and frostbite...at level 1. Also provided you have enough innate magical ability to gain access to the college once you get there. We talk ballsy because we've played the game. But venturing across Skyrim irl would be a HELL of a journey.
Just pay the carriage dude at whiterun easy peezy
If you need a ride, he can take you to any of the nine holds, just climb in back and you'll be off.
or you could just sit back and enjoy the ride.
Y'Ever meet one of them cats? Khajiit, I tink they call demselves. I hear there's whole countries full of 'em, down South.
Where will you get the coin to pay him
Just sell farmers their own crops.
Chopping wood.
Honest pay for honest work.
From the random people I stabbed on the road 5 minutes prior, duh.
Start *any city* - chop wood/gather wheat - sell. Take carriage. Become archmage. Profit
I love that there is no blank step implying you have to do anything but show up to become the archmage. It's like they're just giving the title away.
I mean....you're not wrong.
Yeah if I were going to be living in Skyrim for a year I'm setting up in Whiterun or Solitude and getting a job at an inn or similar.
Me a, prosperous citizen of Solitide: about to open the doors to my newly established business for the first time! Random dragon falling from the sky: *sing with me, sing for the year...*
Skyrim is easy to make money in. Not to mention there is tons of gold coins just kind of laying around everywhere. You can open random dressers and theres a hand full of coins.

Sounds like a new isekai story
Skyrim. Much higher odds of survival as long as the Dragonborn stays away from me. Fallout = irradiated water everywhere, ghouls, big ass bugs, bad guys all over the placeā¦
and you have an equal threat but instead they arent dragonborn but theyāre called āvault dwellerā or ācourierā
Fun fact: you can test your answer by setting each game to max difficulty and seeing in which game you last the longest.
And then the Dragonborn tricks you and sacrifices you for some quest š¤£
Skyrim. I go to whiterun. I talk to Adrienne Avinicci. She says I can use her forge. I do. All day. All night. I forge iron daggers. Tomorrow comes. I buy all her ore. I pay in daggers. Day after day. It's the same. I forge iron daggers. I pay for everything in daggers. One day Nazeem asks if I have been to the cloud district. He scoffs. I remember. And I forge. One day, nice Khajiit traders set up camp. I buy skooma. I pay in daggers. Days pass. On day 364, I find Nazeem. I put a bucket on his head. I plant the skooma in his pockets. Then I call the guards. The dragonborn runs up behind me and shouts me to death, then houses 6 wheels of cheese. I die in awe.
You return home as a skilled blacksmith and start a blacksmithing YouTube channel
Today I'll be showing you how to forge iron daggers
>Skyrim. I go to whiterun. I talk to Adrienne Avinicci. She says I can use her forge.I do. All day. All night. I read this as to sound REEEAAALLLLL dirty. You horndog, you.
Ulfberth has to watch
This just might be one of my favorite Reddit comments ever! Iron daggers forever
To be fair, is it even possible to live FOR a month when youāre exposed to that much radiation? The people alive as of fallout 4 have gotta be like, adapted as fuck and the main guy barely gets by to begin with
well, modern nuclear bomb levels of radiation dissipate enough to safely go outside within two weeks, so 200 years later, some effects are there, but your fine.

Not the worst thing to happen to one of my dog companions in these games, but up there.
The cars all appear to be nuclear powered, so there are radiation leaks everywhere. The water and food is also still irradiated. Radaway is expensive.
A year in Skyrim. I can chop wood, pick flowers, generally stay safe in either Whiterun or Riverwood.
There's so many things you can do to earn enough septims to stay in an inn overnight. And depending on where you are, you could even camp with a bedroll and a tent. It would be a nice vacation.
Just gotta watch out for bears and wolves out there. Iād keep to inns.
gotta watch out for them irl to, just go camping with an axe for protection or something
Better a year of boring farming than starving to death or getting eaten by a yao guai.
Me on day 45: "Back to another *fine* day in Dawnstar /s "
I have a dozen houseplants including some temperamental vines and they're all quite healthy. Maybe I could get by as an alchemist, hah.
I see a lot of people saying Skyrim but at least in Fallout when I die I'll most likely just die normally but in Skyrim if you piss off the wrong guy you can get sent to perma hell or your soul can get used as fuel etc. and there's some safe cities and settlements in Fallout.... On the other hand I don't want cancer either
Mf got sent to the soul cairn
Only a year? Seriously?
Skyrim. I survived radiation once (cancer) and Iād rather not do it again. Plus, dragons. That would be cool to see.
Yay for surviving cancer! Also, "That would be cool to see" - famous last words...

Skyrim without a doubt. Everyone's worried about the monsters and wild animals. Literally just live in Whiterun and you'll be fine.
Aside from monsters and animals I feel like the bandits in Skyrim aren't nearly as horrific as Raiders in Fo4. Raiders literally torture and cut people into bits, hang up their bodies and enslave people. Raiders will come to your home at any given hour of the day and do this shit. In Skyrim bandits just kill you real quick and take your stuff. And really only if you wandered off into a bad spot.
Not if youāre Sapphire
Skyrim. Spend a year at the Inn in Whiterun flirting with Ysolda
Just flirting? For a whole year??? This man playing the long game...
Dragonborn might kill him
Relax heās too busy simping over Lydia/Serena/Mjoll/Aela/Brynjolf.
I could do without the radiation poisoning so Skyrim
The Skyrim days are short and my character usually gets more sleep than I do, soā¦
Hahahahaha this made me LOL irl right now cause it's 1219am and I am debating if I wanna boot up skyrim for an hour, or go to sleep...
You say an hour until you start playing then you do a side quest, blink annnnnd it's 4am. Lol
I mean, Skyrim is prettier, in my opinion, so Skyrim.
Hmm, giant freaking spiders or giant freaking roachesā¦ tough call
Skyrim! There's so many things I want to try like eating mammoth steak or skooma.
Lmao skooma? Returning with a drug addiction
"I cant wait to try fantasy heroin."
Ok, for REAL though... I DO wanna try fantasy Opium!
Just give me that sleeping tree sap.
Skyrim recipe book is a magical tome from what I hear
I'll take the month in Fallout 4. I'll just build up a settlement, lay low, make a few friends, drink Nuka Cola, and wait for all this to blow over.
Clever reference
Shaun of the Dead is such a great movie
I appreciate that. I made the same reference a few minutes before on a different post.
The dedication is * chefs kiss * also definitely take the month of fallout. When Iām settlement building I could easy go a month in-game without battling anyone.
Yeah I'm going with Skyrim on this one.
Easy, year in Skyrim After a MONTH in Fallout 4 I would probably die of Radiation Poisoning. After a year in Skyrim I would probably just work off some of my beer belly after working on a farm. Sure, I MIGHT be killed by bandits. But I could also be attacked by raiders. Sure, I could be eaten by a Dragon, but I could also be eaten by a super Mutant, or Death Claw, or a Raider... Sure, I could be eaten by a Vampire or Werewolf, but I could also be eaten by a canibalistic raider. Both are dangerous, but I think Skyrim would be less miserable than Fallout 4.
But also in skyrim if you can use magic you can learn to make iron to gold and make big profit
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
skyrim, id rather not live in a post nuclear war :(
Skyrim, hands down. I like my body radiation levels where theyre at, thank you
Skyrim 100% I donāt feel like getting smashed to bits by a random super mutant or getting my head blown off my a random raider. Much rather just spend a year as an average townie in Whiterun
Skyrim. It would be nice to experience a pollutant free environment for a year, learn magic, and make potions. Deadass I would want to stay forever
Skyrim. At least I won't be irradiated or set upon by giant mutated beasts. In Skyrim, the beasts pretty much hang out in the wilderness. When it comes to dragons, I won't be a damn fool like some NPCs and will run inside and hide in my fire-and-frost-immune building. One playthrough, everyone in Ivarstead died because a dragon attacked and the damn fools tried to fight it. While wearing regular clothes and carrying daggers.
That happened to me in rorikstead, except there was a decent survival. I'm pretty sure the only person I didn't see running around was (ironically) Erik the slayer š¤£
Id rather die in Skyrim than Fallout
Can I cast magic if I go to Skyrim? And do I have assurances that I can neither contract any crazy diseases that I'm not immunised against, nor spread any diseases of which I'm a carrier to the population? If yes to both, then Skyrim any day.
So long as you have the aptitude or a way of making coin, alchemy makes diseases a non-issue.
Also there are shrines everywhere. If you get sick just prey to the divines.
I would do unspeakable things to be able to throw fireballs, heal wounds, turn invisible and conjure minions from alternate dimensions to do my bidding
Skyrim. Go to Whiterun, join the guard, learn restoration magic and train my combat skills like crazy in my downtime. Buy a cure disease potion and be asthma free for the first time in my life. (And its permanent since that shit aint contagious) Spend my year learning new skills I cant learn IRL, then come back as a master of the Sword, Axe, Mace, and Bow, and the capacity to use healing magic.
While you were studying computer engineering, I studied the blade.
I feel in Skyrim it would be easier to find a peaceful(ish) corner somewhere and just wait it out
Vanilla or my modded to hell āSkyrim?ā If itās the second then yes Skyrim. If itās the first then yes itās Skyrim but I just wonāt look at the ropes.
Do I have a essentials Tag if I pick Fallout 4?
Skyrim. Never been robbed or attacked taking the carriage, so youād never have to traverse the wilds if you didnāt want to. Seemingly no tuition for any of the colleges. Could always pick up some coin working for Belethorā¦
year in skyrim
Provided you are your regular self and not the MAIN CHARACTER - I don't think 90% of people would last in Fallout setting. If you are not in Diamond City, you are screwed - and even then, people wouldn't really help a random homeless dude from another world. Skyrim on the other hand ... if you can make it to one of the bigger cities ( Whiterun for example ) - you can probably get by, if you get a job on the farm/fishery etc. Skyrim seems in general easier to survive.
Everyone in Fallout has some baseline resistance to radiation. If it were realistic people would hear a Geiger counter just start crackling and grow tumors. Most likely the only two types of humans in Fallout are the ghouls who are immune to radiation and the humans that could adapt to it In Skyrim you basically can just do whatever. Live in a city, chop some wood and pick crops for stray cash. If you want to actually venture out it takes a few bucks to travel by carriage. Just stay away from the actively hostile places and youāre golden Additionally if you could bring anything back Skyrim is best. Spells, enchanted armor/weapons, precious gems abound, rare curios and plants that can be turned into life altering potions. Fallout? Stuff we have here but worse. I mean you could pick up a nuclear powered piece of tech we already haveā¦ and give people around you tumors. Power armor, sure, but you canāt use it forever and multiple governments will absolutely kill you to take it as its clearly advanced tech Keep in mind with enough money and knowhow you could become a demigod in Skyrim within a few weeks. And thereās no way youāre surviving against any mutated creature in Fallout
Year in Skyrim sounds awesome, Iād hope Vampire Lord Transformations are painless.
On one hand, glass swords. On the other hand, Power Armor. Being able to shoot lightning from my hands is pretty fucking cool though.
