I'm probably going to catch A LOT of fire for this, but wouldn't it be cool if BioWare and Bethesda Softworks worked on games together?
I would probably never play another video game in my life if they did that, there would just be nothing to top it.
Well, if ME3 had the open endedness of Elder Scrolls: Oblivion, i would be well, words would not be able to describe my excitement. But no, it will never happen 
Well one of the reasons that Oblivion can be so open is that stuff usually dose not affect other stuff and your character dose not even have a voice or a real personality, and there are a limited number of animations, and there really are not decisions, so I think the awesomeness of ME would cancel out the awesomeness of Oblivion.
Word for word my friend. They are both amazing games, but the playstyles dont translate. It is ironic, since Oblivion/Fallout are much closer to traditional rpg's, even though Mass Effect allows for much more personalization of your character, and a much much better overall story.
Fortunately, I have ALL of these games, (and the hundred thousand some odd mods that are available for FO3 and Oblivion) 
Oblivion was/is beautilful and massive in size. FO3 did a tremendous job of staying true to the canon of FO1 & 2 though it never managed to grasp the atmosphere of the first two games because it relied more on looks than dialogue/story line. Neither of those two games were particularly interesting to me in regards to story/plot which is my main interest in any RPG game. Even FPS games are better for me if they have an intriguing story. My issue with Oblivion and FO3 is that they are simply
too open-ended, so much so that even with slavish dedication to pursuing one mission at a time it is way too easy to get distracted and end up running all over the place, do a lot of things, yet not really accomplish much of anything either. Conversely on-rails-shooters are not as enjoyable as games that allow for exploration, IMO. Personally I prefer a happy medium in between the two. ME1 did this magnificently and while ME2 is less free and open it still follows this vein and delivers one hell of a polished package. The ME games easily trounce both Oblivion and FO3 in my opinion. Though I like both of those games, they become dull after a while. I've not felt that way about either ME1 nor ME2; in fact ME2 has accomplished what very few games have ever managed to do in my adult years: It's got me playing it a second time back-to-back. That's all but unheard of in my private gaming life.
