[@HaltingBlooper] Oh man, pre-balance oblivion is easily still one of my favorite games of all times. The beast men look really derp, but mods can easily fix that. All of your skills and Stats actually affected gameplay, and the roleplaying aspect was DEEP.

And yeah, you could do some stupid stuff before the patches and rebalances.

Fallout 3 and New Vegas were similar, but with not quiet as many stats. If you ever get the chance, get fallout 3 GOTY and New Vegas with all its DLC and look into a mod called Tale of Two Wastelands. It basically updates fallout 3 and puts it on new vegas' engine, and let's you seamlessly travel between the two games.
