Are you able to use WASD for movement

and play this like a 3rd person game ala Dragon Age?

WASD (and Q/E) controls camera, not the character.

HOWEVER

Not many people know this, but you can hold down left mouse button and continually move the active character. If you change the camera angle (typically with Q/E) you can basically move around in over the shoulder mode freely.

Zoom in all the way to get the best effect.

Aww. When they said we would get controller support I was hoping we would get keyboard controls similar (not a fan of playing these kinds of highly detailed rpgs with a controller).

But I personally have more fun with the immersion of an over the should camera as opposed to a bird's eye view.

Like I said, just zoom in all the way and hold down left mouse for continual movement. Change directions uding camera rotate right/left (Q/E).

^ I'll keep it in mind when the game releases. But maybe the devs will see this post and be inspired to make 3rd person controls. You never know!

This is how these style of games are largely done across the board. You move them by clicking with the mouse and control the camera with wasd, that has been pretty standard for a very long time.

I hope they add WASD movement to the game. I really don't like nor play games with mouse movement. Like Lost Ark... uninstalled it after 10 seconds of gameplay and never went back.

You'll probably be able to achieve something similar using a controller. By using the sticks.
That is if you really hate or have not tried this type of game or movement before.

The controller will definitely have free movement like it was in DOS2. I hesitate between k+m and gamepad for this very reason honestly. Might combined both, controller for exploration and k+m for combat.

if divinity 2 is anything to go by we will not be able to use hybrid keyboard/controller, but controller optimisation should be good

Never happening. That doesn't work for this game at all.

Yeah, it's a bit sad how you can't really look 'up' with your character on keyboard mouse controls, and how you can't ever get rid of the mouse cursor, even when using hold to move instead of point and click.

But I don't mind using a controller (loved the controller controls and UI for their previous game), so I'm happy PC players are getting the controller version of the game too on release.

I just hope we can look up a bit more as controller users than the keyboard mouse users can lol.

Is there allready not an option to move the character with gamepad sticks like asdw? i saw a video of that patch 9 and they did talk about it somewhen.. at the moment in the option there isnt even any controller mentioned, all i can do is activating a sheme on steam but still cant move the character with sticks.

This game sorely needs WASD. The best they got is holding the left click button and veering the camera.=

only thing u can do that might work is click both mouse buttons down at same time and you can move character like wasd

No but it needs it badly. I really hate the camera in this game. I want to third person explore like in Dragon Age and then just have the camera pull out when combat starts.

That would be so amazing.
