As a proud Fallout and TES fanboy, your wrong. Now, let me go throw all your sentences and say how you are wrong.
"fallout is VERY MUCH like skyrim." You didn't even put a capital letter for Fallout and Skyrim.
"They are similar in a great number of ways." Alright then, let's see your points.
"Fallout is full of post-apocalypse yes but have you played it?" Yes, I have played it, a lot of people have played it.
"Can you compare a deathclaw and a dragon?" Yes. Deathclaws are genetically engineered creatures that roam the wastes of the wasteland. Dragons breed like mammals.
"Or is a deathclaw completely normal to you?" No. They're scary when you see one. They can rip you a part and you have to boot to a quicksave.
"They work basically the same with quests," Huh, one is the main storyline villain and the other is a side enemy in an futuristic RPG.
"they have almost the same open world-style." No, they don't. Deathclaws are random enemies that use ground to kill you, they get there claws out and kill you. Dragons in Skyrim act as mini boss fights. They fly and kill you by fire breathing. Not a claw, fire breathing.
"The difference is that Fallout uses guns while Skyrim uses magic." Yeah. They are very different. Completely different. Context and use.
"They both use swords and axes etc." No. You played Fallout? You tend to use guns, and when you do use melee, there is swords and axes but they are context sensitive. Skyrim has a limited range of weapons while Fallout has larger much varying range of weapons.
"You have alchemy in Skyrim, and chemistry in Fallout." I don't think you have played Fallout. Chemistry? I have played all the Fallouts, even down to Fallout 76 and Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel. Chemistry has never been a part of Fallout. Alchemy has been in Skyrim and chemistry hasn't. The only thing that is remotely close to that is Science. And science is mainly to craft more ammo for energy weapons. What?
"Cooking in both." If your playing survival mode, yeah, in Skyrim I forgot that you could do that and thought you could only craft weapons.
"You can't say that they are too different." I can indeed, I can say a lot, have you forgotten about questline, storylines, companies. Sure, Fallout is now owned by Bethesda but it was originally owned by Interplay, a completely different company to Bethesda.
"The only real difference that is big enough to point out is that they have different themes." You could point that out, but Fallout and Skyrim are very different, skills, story, factions, perks, traits, classes, world building, derived stats, SPECIAL, fuck Skyrim doesn't even have a attribute system.
" Slightly different mechanics of course since fallout uses guns." Yeah, also lockpicking, computers, Power Armor, attribute system, derived stats. So, no, it is very different.
"It's difficult to compare that though unless you compare Skyrim mechanics to Fallout 3 mechanics" mhm, the core of the game is different.
"but overall they are veeery similar." It isn't, it just isn't, I don't think you have even played Fallout, I don't think you've played Skyrim. I think you've only played Fo4 and Skyrim. Two of the worst games ever.
"It's not like comparing Skyrim and Mass Effect." I don't think that was brought to the table here. Plus, Skyrim, Mass Effect and Fallout are very different games.
Your wrong. I don't care. All the points you brought made me lose brain cells.
