How do you play this with keyboard and mouse?

I find it incredibly weird. I was gonna switch from xbox controller because swapping weapons/drinking potions is extremely awkward with a controller. What I hate about keyboard and mouse though is how even the slightest movement of mouse while pressing the attack button will perform the overhead or from below attack. Doing the straightforward attack is almost impossible. There should be a larger deadzone for the special attakcs imo :/

I have the opposite problem, I can't do the over/under attacks on mouse & keyboard.

mouse & keyboard is the way to play this game, controller is pretty hard/weird.
about attacks...u need to learn the weapons behavior,movements. combat is like dark souls/chivalry a bit.
also make sure i disable vsync,this cause input delay which makes combat harder

But i agree the melee swings are bad:we have 2-3 different animated swings in the game and its random...it doesnt matter what u do its random and its so annoying when he is doing the wrong swing animation.(In a game where we have headshot and legshot this is even more frustrating)
they rly need to fix random swings

It's been a while since I played the game but I'm pretty sure the attacks are not random. The kind of attack depends on the way you move your mouse while attacking. When you don't move your mouse, you get the standard attack. Then there are other attacks depending on the direction you're moving the cursor in.

It's not random, it's just that the "deadzone" for the standard attack is almost nonexistent and therefore it's almost impossible to perform this attack because you always move your cursor at least a little bit :/
