So far, my involvement with FO4 has been reading forums about problems 
and fixes. I'm 2 or 3 hours into the game if you want to count that as 
playtime. =8^o

Isn't Witcher 3 third person view only? I guess its not a complete deal 
breaker, but the ability to do any view is a huge advantage for Fallout 4.
