Witcher 3 is overrated in many aspects and a good amount of faults are glossed over thanks to hype. Fallout is picked clean with criticism compared to the Witcher. *runs* [spoiler]fight me Charlemagne/Progo/Tazer[/spoiler] With that out of the way....I'd still get Witcher 3 for $25 (got this during the holidays) over a full price fallout. If you can find a great deal for one, go for it. It's very close but ultimately I powered through fallout without ever noticing the time. The little stuff in that game is more enjoyable for me. However The Witcher has its strength through its story telling. Also, if it helps, I went into fallout incredibly hyped and still enjoyed it. I lowered my expectations for Witcher and was pleasantly surprised but not completely amazed. If I had to summarize my opinion: I like fallouts combat, exploration, crafting, collecting and environment more. Fallout is more enjoyable in small bursts while I feel Witcher requires long sittings to enjoy fully. Witcher has better dialogue (WAYY BETTER) and 2 previous games of story support (they've all followed Geralt whose a well developed character at this point). If you enjoy the small things in conversations like facial expressions you'll also love witcher's dialogue (Geralts expressions can be amazing). It's easy to get immersed. And you really end up caring for the characters even if you haven't played the previous games (it's easy to get lost in what the hell is going on however. Took me awhile to understand the worlds conflicts). EDIT: Oh, a point I forgot to make. Fallout is a lot easier to do the "Role Playing" part of RPG. It's a massive sandbox. While IMO Bethesda keeps dumbing down dialogue and choice variety, it's still better at that sandbox nature.
