Fallout 3 or The Witcher

I have a particularly nooby question. In Oblivion, if you accidentally hit a guard or something you could apologize and they'd stop attacking.

How do you do this In Fallout 3?

thanks

If you hold down 'R' to put away your weapon, they might forgive you...but I'm not 100% certain about that. I don't even know if you can do that in F3.

Oh, I haven't actually played through it entirely with the EE patch on - I just meant that even in the original version, while the translation was a bit broken at times, it still sounded far better than anything in Fallout 3.

I'm guessing that the EE is even better, but there are still a few strange convos, like the innkeeper in Act 1..

illogical conversations and nonsensical oneliner FILLED the entire game. for example ( i don't really have the transcript here so bear with me )

A: i want to talk. ( no, there's no exposition, situation or anything. he wants to talk in the middle of the street and that's it )

B: go ahead.

A: i warn you this could be long

B: just shoot

A: (Geralt showing us some of his philosophical epiphany)

just like that. once every 10 minutes i felt like i'm using a badly programmed answering machine. I'm not saying Fallout 3's writing is fantastic, but the presentation definitely MADE SENSE to me.

And whats so bad aboout that?

lol..... what can i say? whatever floats your boat, mate.

The Witcher for me.

The Witcher, I'd say.

Fallout 3 was better than The Witcher in many aspects - most notably, it's much more open ended in terms of character building and combat.

Too bad the character building is utterly broken. SPECIAL has no purpose, since you can easily upgradee every component. All skills except science and lockpick are useless. The perks have stupid bonuses, almost no penalty and they destroyed the traits.

The Witcher is infinetly deeper in character management, combat, inventory and especially story. The alchemy is a huge system on its own. The story... there's no contest.

The bad translation was fixed.

While I do enjoy Fallout 3, I have to agree about the character building and leveling. Most of the skills truly don't make much of a difference in game play...except for lockpick and science. I'd also throw in explosives. It is a handy skill to build up as you can take out enemies without even engaging them. Still, the leveling seems similar to vanilla Oblivion, which sucked.

The Witcher..fallout 3 is stale.

I would buy TF2 between those two shooters. As for the rpgs I'd buy The Witcher now and buy Fallout 3 "Game of the year" or what ever the edition is called, anyhow it includes all 5 DLC's, I haven't bought Fallout 3 yet, I've played it and it's good so I'll but that when it comes in october something.

I'm thinking of getting a new game for my PC don't know whatRPG topurchase though can some one help me out. I also have a dilemma of shooters too its between TF 2 or CS:S.
