Gamepad aiming broken

[boblick]

Does anybody else have an issue with aiming through a scope in ME1 and 2 using gamepad (Not sure about ME3 yet since I haven't played that far)?.

Whenever your sniper scope crosshair is on top of an enemy it refuses to move when you try to fine adjust your aim to make a headshot. It's like the reticle is stuck on an enemy and only bigger tilts with the stick will make it move again. This makes unnecessarily hard to make headshots. If I move my crosshair away from the enemy fine adjustments are again possible and the scope reacts to minor movements of the stick like it should.

Is there some form of autoaiming that doesn't work properly that causes it? Funny thing is that the original Mass Effect games didn't have a controller support on PC, but there were fantastic mods that basically gave native controller support for PC versions of the games. They didn't have this issue.

This basically makes the game unplayable with a controller currently if you make extensive use of sniper rifles.
