Gamepad - camera controls

[Admighty]

I don't know about any of you, but I like to ditch the desk and kick back on the sofa when it's late and grind lazily with my pad.

Please allow me to bind the rotation of the camera without a 'shift' key, it just feels bad, takes me back to playing Monster Hunter on a DS, spamming LB to align the camera every few seconds.

Game is great and this is a nitpick but It would be nice to have the option to assign them to paddles for instance and if not, why not? Also, what's up with the disparity between controller layouts?

It's really not that bad.
Mostly I just tap Y to orient the camera behind me. Also, set your minimap to match the rotation of the world. Life got so much easier once I did these.

Like I said, its a nitpick but I'll try the mini-map, thanks. I just don't get on with the constant realignment, especially in combat. M&K is far superior, time to invest in a lapboard.

I will freely admit that a couple of different options would be nice.

They already have it designed so that your character attacks in the direction you are pressing the left stick, unless you press the right stick in a direction. Which means you really only need to touch the right stick if you are using a skill. Personally I don't back peddle while melee attacking much. I run towards what I'm trying to hit. There could be an option so that when you press a skill button the left stick switches to aiming, otherwise it's for camera rotation.

I hate playing just about any game with a keyboard. Love the mouse part, hate the keyboard. I constantly hit the wrong keys or multiple keys at once. Much prefer a controller.

Anyway, I think it's impressive that they made the game work as well as it does with a controller. Now if they could just work out the controller bugs on Steam Deck...

Just takes getting used to, it feels bad at first because it’s so uncommon.
Still options are always nice and would be welcomed.

The camera controller is indeed weird. I found this though.

Hopefully it works, I haven't tried it yet. I'll try it later or tomorrow when I play the game again.

Is there a way to lock the camera to NORTH on controller?

You can bind Y to the back buttons if you have a DualSense Edge or similar controller.

Like in games where you need to press down on the d-pad to heal, I bind that ♥♥♥♥. Or roll in Dark Souls or Monster Hunter so I can roll while moving the camera

One thing I'd love for both kb+m and controller is an option for the Camera to just follow behind the character. Having to fight the bosses and the camera is never fun in any game.

(If it's too jarring for how quick the movement can be: have the camera slowly rotate and not instantly rotate, but just have it rotate on it's own to follow the character with no need for input)

I've tried it and it works perfectly. I can finally play comfortably with a gamepad.
