Controller layout/mapping improvements and suggestions
So, Just played 5 hours of controller after using KB+M for the other 25 hours of my BG3 gameplay, and got some things i need to get off my chest regarding the controller implementation and layout

First off, let me say, for the MOST part, the control scheme etc is good

HOWEVER

There are some noteable gripes

  1. Lack of detecting which controller is detected and related icons - a minor annoyance but as PS5 is the console expected to be the next release of BG3, I find it odd that the only layout and icons are for Xbox
  2. The method to enable Turn Based Mode - specifically the decision to have the Shortcut Menu on R2 A: Not be reorganised to be located in a cardinal direction (currently lower left next to short rest...... and i wasted so many short rests because of that) and B:not be on a "hold" hotkey when stuff like toggle light source is a hold command
  3. Not specifically a controller issue but the inability to.... look up, its more noticeable on a controller due to being unable to scroll out - as an example, i had to move the camera so far forward to aim at the coiled rope outside the ruins that my camera felt like it was inside the ruins (this could just be a con of the isometric viewpoint, but copying dnd, being unable to misty step upwards towards an enemy in view is frustrating)
  4. The inability to remap certain keys around, specifically unable to unbind say,..... left dpad and bind turn based mode - doesn't have to be every key, but maybe having the option say to have a shortcut on L1+R1/L2+R2 even if they arent enabled by default

It is possible I may have missed solutions to these (if so please comment)

But just some suggestions to help make both PS5 and PC versions slightly better

If you have other suggestions, post them - who knows, a Larian Studios developer may get an idea or implement one of them

I just cant figure out how to move items around in my inventory

When i split Potions, sometimes i cant see the potions, only after closing and opening the inventar i can see them again

Sometimes i cant move the marker to items in my inventory at the first char, it only works at the second, third...char (only when i sort items with the filter)

But i like the rest sofar, pretty relaxed to play with a gamepad
