It depends..Do you want an Oblivion like open world adventure, or a linear story driven RPG.

Historic linear RPG - get Witcher. Futuristic open world post apocalyptic RPG - get Fallout 3. They are both good choices, I'd get Fallout 3 cause I'm a fan of the setting.

Witcher. If you want a good modern open-ended post-apocalyptic RPG go buy New Vegas instead.

I would wait for a witcher sale unless you really want it now. When its on sale goes for about $5. Also, last time I checked d2d and amazon had 20% off sales. Might want to check those out too.

FYI I thought Fallout 3 was boring but I can see why so many people like it. I definitely liked the Witcher more.

You could get fallout then wait for Witcher to go on sale.

Witcher is a fantastic, story-driven adventure that gives you a little bit of wiggle-room in how it plays out. Fallout 3 is a huge, open-world adventure with lots of wiggle-room (think Oblivion with guns).

That is extremely hard to say...

The Witcher is more of an RPG in my mind, it has a far better made world, and far better characters and story, its simply a joy to play.

Fallout 3 is Much more Like Oblivion, Except from it has some more actural role play elements in it, it plays VERY similar tho. It has a bigger emphathys on exploration and dungeon crawling then The witcher.

So as others said, it is not really a matter of which is the better game, but rather which appeals more yto you, first person openworld post apocalyptic RPG? Or Liniar Storydriven medivalRPG?

The wild card tho is Fallout: Nev Vegas, It is a bit smaller more contained then FO3, but there are far more roleplaying, and a far better made world. It is however more expensive, so if it is due to the price of 20 bucks you look for, then this one is out.

I wasn't a big fan of either, but I'd say the Witcher. But if you want a REALLY good RPG, go to GoG and buy Fallout 1 or 2.

The Witcher is MUCH better then Fallout3.

Fallout New Vegas though? Well that is another story, that game just destroys Fallout3 imo in every single aspect except radio stations.

I was very dissapointed with Fallout3, but New Vegas really stepped it up and made me feel liek I wa splaying Fallout1/2 with better graphics.

If its just between Fallout3 and Witcher then definatly the witcher no question, but if you can some how get some extra money for New vegas then I would reccomend that, my fav game of 2010 was new Vegas.

The Witcher = 9/10

Fallout New Vegas = 9.5/10

Fallout3 = 7/10

RPGs are not my main gaming genre but I do enjoyed a lot more The Witcher over FO3 GoTY (I played and finished both games). Keep in mind that due to the nature of FO3 the wasteland wont be a colorful place (and the excessive use of HDR/Bloom will accentuate the dull environments) unlike the witcher's world which is a very rich and colorful place with beautiful environments, also the beginning of the witcher (the tutorial section) is way too slow but it gets better right after that. My suggestion is: get The Witcher now and then get FO3 GOTY.

Get both as they are very different. However I you were to ask which I felt was better overall, I would definatly say The Witcher. Fallout 3 is good but can be very stale at times with a somewhat short story.
