Skyrim vs Witcher2 vs Fallout3

Hi All!

After spending about 100 quid on games this month, Im not sure if I should stretch to another, so I got to thinking. Witcher2 was a beautiful game, but I got stuck half way through and haven't returned to it. How does Skyrim compare? Im also only about halfway through Fallout 3, but this was one of the best games ever.

So, maybe it would be better to finish these first?

hmmm choices choices!!!

Wait until its cheaper no need to rush out and buy it, enjoy fallout 3 first it's best game in years.

Different games, Skyrim is new so a decent view on it won't occur for a while, and Fallout 3 is decent, you just have to give it a chance in my experience.

You need to do yourself a service and buy all three

You can't go wrong playing fallout 3. Brilliant game! It's kinda similar to skyrim but with guns and stuff. Play that until skyrim drops in price

I haven't got much to say about witcher as I didn't enjoy it.

Nice advice, I would feel a bit guilty buying it straight away without completing fallout3, which is one of the best games I've played

If you haven't already check out the mods available for fallout 3. Loads of stuff to make it even more enjoyable

The same should be true by the time you get skyrim.

you need to really finish witcher 2 and fallout 3 tbh, I dont spend a lot of time gaming but even I maanged to complete them both, The witcher 2 you can easily do in a week (couple of hours a night) if you put your mind to it.

witcher 2 - 8.5
fallout 3 - 10
skyrim - only played 10 minutes

You need to complete one first atleast before getting skyrim, fallout 3 was brilliant but i found vegas better. Get both!

Also the witcher 2 was a great game but i think Skyrim will be better.

By the sound of it, Skyrim by a country mile.

not much point him getting skyrim if he hasnt got the staying power though imo - its a lengthy game from the sounds of it.

Fallout 3's DLC will more than likely be in the Steam xmas sale so if you want a bit more of that it might be worth it too (point lookout is by a mile the best in my opinion) if you have it on steam. If not then er... try shops?

Bethesda games and The Witcher 2 are opposite ends of the RPG genre. The Witcher is Geralts story and you can't do anything a Witcher couldn't do in that world. Fallout and elderscrolls are your story so you can slaughter a town and nobody can stop you and it'll probably only dent you reputation.

I think you should go back to fallout and if your not bored of it leave Skyrim for now. I don't see the point of buying games at release if your not particularly interested in playing them.

I thought Fallout 3 with the expansions was much better than FONV in all honesty. I enjoy FONV but nothing in the game has impressed me as much as Liberty Prime did in FO3!

I would wait till its down in price and a few mods surface.

Always wished I played a modded version of Oblivion rather than the deeply flawed release.
