How is it on keyboard and mouse input?

[fxz0]

So i was supposed to get around to playing this game when the trailer was first released, however I completely forgot about it and never got round to playing it again. However I came across it again and wanted to know if it was okay to play with Keyboard and Mouse or do you not recommend playing without a controller?

Thanks!!

I initially started with a gamepad, and then moved to keyboard and mouse because I tend to prefer camera control with a mouse in first/third person titles where a gamepad isn't mandatory. It works either way.

There's some spots where you have to control the Rot and yourself and it can be a bit unusual with keyboard and mouse (never tried it on gamepad so I'm not sure how it is there) but it still works. Besides that, there's no drawbacks to keyboard/mouse I can think of.

I finished the game with KBM. I'm bad with controllers. There's some issues with mouse sensitivity. Luckily it can be fixed in a .ini file. I also have to remap some keys for my preferences too.

I started with a controller but I am bad with it.. I needed to change some keybindings. The only issue is: Draw a bow, press the button for bow and aim. This is crap with a controller (LT+X+Right stick for aim, X-Box controller)
You can learn to fight with a controller. For some challenges I needed to change to Mouse and Keyboard because my aim is a mess with controller and I am not quick enough.
I would say: Use Mouse and Keyboard.

I started with a keyboard, played with a keyboard and i finished it with a keyboard. default keybinds aren't that bad either. Also i had no issued with the mouse sens or anything similar

It's excellent for me. Fully rebindable too.

It works pretty good to the point I tested. My only sugestion is rebinding some keys, since the original are a little bit iffy, Having a mouse with 5 buttons (which anyone would this day, I'm sure) will help. My sugestion:
-dodge Mouse 4 (you be using this a lot, trust me)
-heavy mouse 5
-aim right click
-run shift (not essencial, but quality of life).

I played with a controler when I sailed the seven seas when it launched on Epic, now that is on Steam I tried with M&K and found it better. Aiming with the bow will be essencial.
