One Key = Multiple Functions

[BionicDance]

This has gotten in the way more than once; most egregiously, the 'R' key, which is both 'reload' and 'grab weapon from fallen enemy and equip it in place of your current weapon'.

I mean, seriously, WTF? I scrag some gonk-brain, go to reload, and all of a sudden I'm holding some weak-♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥-out pistol (EDIT: are you kidding me with this, Steam? Fine: a weak-tushied hold-out pistol; happy now?) or a tire iron.

We need better key-rebindings, as everybody knows already, but even the keys we can re-bind take thei multi-function 'abilities' with them when you do!

C'mon, I can't be the only one who has found this getting in the way!

**thwack**

I'll be honest... no? Isn't it a hold action on bodies to grab guns?

Picking up a body is a hold action. But simply pressing 'R' will reload you...unless you're pointing at an item that can be picked up. Then it'll pick up the object and use it.
Consumables will be eaten and your active weapon will be replaced.

Happens to me all the damn time.

How about you git gud.

the worst for me was the C button skipping dialogue. Trying to stealth through an area, certain someone shows up and starts talking to you. i press c to stand up, but it skips the dialogue instead. woof.

You can thank consoles for that.

I agree with you. The R key is bad, but the C key for crouch toggle/skip ahead conversation is the WORST

Oh, right there with ya; I'm in crouch, a conversation starts, I want out of crouch, but instead I'm either looking at someone's crotch or up their nose cuz trying would make that convo skipperoo.

Same with 'Skip Ride' and 'F'... only the most commonly used key in the game!

Not to mention having to double-tap Alt to holster your weapon; the game and I disagree on how much time there should be between taps (or something) and I almost inevitably end up changing weapons instead of holstering. At least once.

Such a pain.

It's because all multiplatform games are designed with a console/controller UI in mind.

ANOTHER reason for this game to have been PC-only.

PC only doesn't bring in enough money seeing the millions of PS4 and XONE's out there.

Simple math

Game that some people think is terrible and rotten because it was simplified for the benefit of the console-jockies, and which caused delays for compatibility issues means tons of people refunded, tons of money lost.

Simple math.

You can remap that, so not really an issue. I use TAB to skip dialogue.

The only gripe I have with keys doing the same thing is the "c" key being a toggle crouch AND skipping dialogue. Far too many times has dialogue appeared in the middle of me being sneaky and I accidentally skip ♥♥♥♥ because I was trying to toggle crouch.

Then why don't you change skipping dialogue to something else? Like TAB.

[UnholyDentist]

It's not just that OP, the switch to next weapon and holster weapon is also assigned to the same key... I don't know who was responsible for the idea but I hope that person will never design anything in the future for humanity's sake.

Well, you can't remap 'R' or 'Alt' to no longer be two functions.
