I'm totally with you on this one. The controls in Witcher 3 just feel awkward. Geralt moves like a tank, he never does exactly what I want him to do. I heard there was a patch sometime for better controls, but I didn't check the game out since then. Fallout on the other hand plays flawless and very fluid. I also like the world much more. Not only is the scenario more interesting imo, the open world itself is also much more full of stuff. Witcher 3 might have a big world, but there is barely anything to see. I very rarely stopped to investigate something. Mainly I just stumbled upon some bandits or stuff. In Fallout 4, there is something interesting in every corner. There are so many times when I'm on my way to somewhere and I just find other stuff everywhere. I investigate some building, find myself some Holotapes or other clues and before I know it I have started a new quest! I absolutely love that. You're not tied to some characters giving you quests, you can just stumble right inside a quest. And that's only one aspect why I'm seriously in love with Fallout 4 right now. I bought both games at release for PS4 by the way and easily invested more time in Fallout 4 already.
Not saying that the Witcher is a bad game or anything, but it's just not for me. It didn't suck me in, I never played it to the end.

Shhhh don't say that or someone may accuse you of being a liar or a hater.
But seriously I feel exactly the same about both. Is really amazing the amount of things you can find in every corner of Fallout 4, for me is mindblowing, I tried to explore some of the most hidden and recondite places of the game, places that anybody would think they are empty, and no, I always end up finding something new. And frequently I discover places that tell a short story even without words, little things that are not relevant for the overall story but make the world feel so real, alive and interesting to explore, I love that game, and I wasn't expecting it tbh, because I was having the feel this was going to be just more of the same but worse, and I was wrong, I think is better than Fallout 3 at least from a gameplay and world design pov.

I really don't understand problem that people have with controls, but I've played W3 on PC with kb/m. Honestly, if you're c/W/RPG fan, controls in that game are least of your worries, there are other design flaws that are way more prominent.
As for FO4, it's a decent game, but if you actially care for Fallout IP, the original one, then it really starts to rub you the wrong way from the very beggining. Sure, there's lot of stuff to discover and places to go (like in all Bethesda games), and I enjoy a lot my daily 4 hour sessions, but massive dumbing down of RPG element is not really what I've hoped for - FO3 at least tried (though not succeeding fully) to stay true to formula, NV repaired a lot of damage Bethesda did, just so they ruin it again.
