Re: Fallout or Bioshock

[dethtoll]

I'm assuming you're going to skip Fallout 1 and 2, which is fine, they're not for everyone. But that leaves the question of what you want.

The Bioshock games are more straightforward; hewing close to their roots as System Shock spiritual sequels, the first two games have some exploration but you will be progressing from area to area until the conclusion. (Bioshock Infinite throws all this out for a CoD-esque linear clusterfuck, but the DLC sort of makes up for that.) They also make a pretty decent attempt at exploring some sociopolitical themes -- the first game is a pretty decent takedown of Objectivism and laissez-faire capitalaism, the second focuses a lot on the relationships of parents and their children amidst an examination of collectivism. And the third is some ham-fisted bullshit about racism and American exceptionalism that gets thrown under the bus for some stupid boilerplate sci-fi bullshit about alternate universes. (Again, the DLC fixes a lot of that. It's worth sitting through the main game once just so you can appreciate the DLC more.)

On the other hand, Fallout 3 and New Vegas and the upcoming Fallout 4 are very different. Whereas the original games were Ultima with guns, the new games are The Elder Scrolls with guns, with all the exploration, RPG elements, and game-breaking bugs that entails.

My advice is stick with Bioshock, at least until you get the hang of playing first person games.
