First play-through will be on my PC connected to my 55" TV with me on the sofa and a XBOX controller in my hands. Later play-throughs will most likely be at my desktop screen with mouse and keyboard because I doubt my better half allows me to occupy the TV for yet another 200+ hours. That is not to say I have a preference where I can say one is better over the other in terms of controls. The reason I go with the controller first is that I want to immerse myself the most on my first play-through and I personally do that best relaxed on the sofa cramped up in pillows and blankets with the game streamed on my TV. A mouse and keyboard is just impractical for me in this scenario.
I think gamepad will be more comfortable but xbow aim worries me, I suck at aiming with gamepad so will try and see.
Gamepad even on pc, I find it really more adapted to those almost BTA-style fights (while M+K are of course superior for shooters and tactical stuffs IMHO).
I might use K+M to dabble around the inventory though, if switching between both control schemes is quick and painless enough.

Using Xbox 1 controller on my PC.
As a side note: do we know if we can change controller layout?
I see gallop is mapped to A and sense is right trigger, Id prefer them swapped around.
Also would like to change sprint from A to trigger on foot so that I can use second stick at the same time.

Mouse and keyboard.
I am desperately waiting for those reviews... also hoping that there will be some support for the G-series keyboards (such as a W3 profile, displaying carry-weight, potion effects, daytime and such...).
Maybe i am going to buy a new mouse that has a few nice additional buttons (tried this once, felt great, could actually help), depending on the reviews... maybe i will take my husbands gameboard

The game was designed for a gamepad. Will simply play better with one. Not ideal for some, but true regardless.
yup simple as that sadly i remeber the old days when project red was talking about a pc ui and proper pc controls but not anymore
for me if kb/m controls sucks
i will have to cry playing on my 42" tv with a logitech control
Going to play with a control. The character feels more like it's 'in my hand' not some 'drag around' movement.
Best way to describe it.

Xbox one gamepad 
I don't even a own a console anymore (3 x RROD) After playing Dks1, Witcher 2 on Dark and Dark Souls 2 (NG++ / + pvp over 800hours) with gamepad it feels weird to play such a game with KB/M . Feels more natural to play with a pad and it's more comfortable to play on cosy couch with a big HD-Tv and a sound system. But that's just my opinion.....
