controller support?

[Icedfate]

I get it , this is an old game, runs off of DOSbox (i saw it when i launched the game)

but i'm confused that the store page says "partial controller support : your Xbox Controller, other devices unknown"

but i'm in game and it seems to be M+KB only.
I mean, i played the game 20 years ago and i remember the combat had this weird interesting style where you hold the attack button and move the mouse different ways to strike different ways and i dunno how that would even work on a controller, but yeah.

why does the store page says "partial controller support"?
i can't bring up steam overlay to do Steaminput on my controller to make my controller act like the mouse either

unity has it

[Icedfate]

ok. yeah, i'm in the process of installing the unity version. it's still weird that the store page says it.
unless, they are assuming that everyone is gonna just do the unity version(?). . i dunno. This is Bethesda. It's neat that they gave us this for free and all, so , i'm not complaining

[Icedfate]

yeah, okay, i'm playing the unity version and i guess, "partial" support is literal. .
the controller lets me walk around and look up and down , but i can't attack or cast spells.

even though the A button is set to left click and Y is set to right click and it works in the menus, it doesn't work in the actual gameplay when i have my weapon out, pressing the Y button on the controller does not swing the weapon.

so if all the controller does is let me move around and i still need to use the keyboard and mouse for attacking and jumping and all the other stuff, i may as well not even use the controller then. .
or maybe i'm just not savvy enough to figure it out.


edit : i figured it out. the "controls" screen has a button all the way upper right hand side , says "primary". I needed to switch that to "secondary", then i could bind controls to the controller
