Well Skyrim and Mass Effect DLCs were better to me. In fact, I played Skyrim with Dawnguard DLC before Fallout 3, and Dawnguard DLC alone skyrocketed my expectations for what Fallout 3 could be like. So comparing Dawnguard DLC to Fallout DLCs should suffice as the perfect example.
Damn, Thief. You're killing me. Glitches aside, Fallout 3's DLCs were so good (story and gameplay-wise), I'm having trouble finding a game with better DLC support. But, if you say so, I'm going to have to take your word for it. I know you're very fond of the Mass Effect series. I may have tried some of said DLCs myself on the ME series without noticing, though; since I played the trilogy after the fact on that compilation for the PS3. As for Skyrim, I've yet to play the game, but I can't wait to play it myself.
BTW, I know where you're coming from with these questions, though. These are very time-consuming games, and just choosing which one to play next is a big commitment. Anyways, like I mentioned before, I really suggest you play both games. They're both lots of fun. But if I were to give a suggestion as to which one to play first, I'd definitely go with The Witcher III. It single-handedly became my Shenmue or Grandia II of recent days, if that means anything. Or, just pick your personally most-impressive grand-scale RPG. That's what The Witcher III did for me.
As for Fallout 4, I still think you won't regret picking it up. It's a very fluid game and has all the gameplay mechanics we've gotten used to from the previous two. Plus, the upgrade in graphics are not too shabby either.
I once thought that I liked New Vegas more than Fallout 3, until I recently played Fallout 3 on the PC and then followed that with New Vegas on the PS3. The world of Fallout 3 seems much more open than New Vegas, with more options on how you tackle the storyline and explore.Quote:

Great job, man.Quote:

I even bought the individual card sets, but just didn't want to break the seal just to get at the DLCs. When the "Complete Edition" was announced, I jumped on it right away, only to find out your previous save won't carry-over. I'm glad, either way; that way I know for certain I will have to replay it again.
P.S.> The only thing I'm dreading about getting that platinum is that Gwent card trophy :sweat:.
Fallout 4's DLC is hit and miss with me. I really liked Far Harbor, but absolutly hated Nuka World. The world space in NW is great, the actual content within is meh. As for the rest of the DLC, it's add-ons to the base building portion of the game.
It really shows Bethesda's direction with the series (and TES as well) adventure/rpg? no.. you get FPS/FacebookFarmBuildingQuote:

Typical Fallout 3 DLC takes you completely away from existing map with no way of return until completed, so completely seperate from the main game. Basically Dawnguard DLC is still what Skryim is still about. Fallout 3 DLC basically takes away what Fallout 3/Skryim/Bethesda games are and turns it into a third rate linear fps with lame story to boot. So you can imagine my disappointment going from Dawnguard DLC to Fallout 3 DLCs. I wanted more Fallout 3, not some separate lame third rate linear fps DLCs with boring story.Quote:

How come you never played Dawnguard? Did you even play Skyrim. If yes, I'm sure you have the edition with the DLCs or maybe even the recently graphically enhanced version. So if ever planning on revisiting Skyrim, give Dawnguard a shot at what a Bethesda DLC could be like for these type of open world games. Or better yet, that Dragonborn DLC which I have yet to experience for myself too (I'm actually planning on revisiting Skyrim with the Special Edition soon).
Like I mentioned, I've never played Skyrim. But I very much look forward to it. These 100+ hour games are always a big commitment; even more so when adding DLC to said hours. But I can't wait to play it one day. I remember Melf finishing this baby back when it was released, and even then my backlog was still huge. Anyways, yeah, I will play those eventually, no doubt.
You should really play The Witcher 3, though. This is the perfect time to get into it with all the DLC included in the Complete edition.
