PC controls

[Mithrandir]

I think I'm going to buy this game, but I want to know if the PC controls are decent.
Does it work fine with M+KB or should I buy a PS5 controller for this?

You can play it like you play mmorpgs. WASD to move your character, mouse to control view. I advise you to use a 3 button mouse(one with scroller so that you can scroll up or down to select abilities easier when you open combat menu). Key mapping is optional too, if you want certain skills mapped to your preferences. I am a PC user and overall I think it's pretty descent, with the exception of playing the dart mini game, which I had to borrow a controller in order to do the achievement.

It is managable on M+KB, but definitely better with controller.

Damn, guess I can start with PC controls. But I guess I should order a controller (probably will need one for future games as well anyway)
Thanks for info

Took me a few minutes to figure out how to play with a KB+M. Definitely needs a manual by one's side to start with when using KB+M.

While Escape functions as "back" in a few menus, it doesn't bring up any menus nor allows you to quit the game.

"M" is used instead of the "Esc" key. You might stumble across it when trying to open the map.

"N" is used for the map.

"B" cycles through your HUD options (minimap vs compass/objective marker).

"Space" brings up your character's item and move set.

Default movement controls do seem to be the WASD+Mouse standard configuration. The Left mouse button is Attack, and right button is dodge. I haven't found "guard/block" yet.

There is no mouse cursor.

"Z" and "X" replace the shoulder buttons for cycling tabs.

It's generally OK aside from minigames/driving where it just goes insane.

Unfortunately, you can't map anything to the arrow keys.
I use a programmable keypad with a d-pad under my thumb.
I could reprogram the keys, but why have different keymap settings for every different game?
95% of games I play allow me to change the keybindings in the game, including bindung movement to the arrow keys instead of WASD.

Even an almost 30 year old game like Morrowind lets me use arrow keys instead of WASD.
