Controls with mouse and keyboard? GFWL?

[frostdiamond]

Just wondering

1) Is this game mouse and keyboard friendly? Is the control complicated (like 12 plus keys), or standard WSAD + duck, jump, sneak......etc?

2) Do we need to sign into GFWL in order to play?

Thanks guys.

The key bindings are a bit complicated though; it's one of those games where you have key bindings written out on a nearby index card.

camera angles = F1, F2, F3
steel sword = Q, silver sword = E
strong combat style = Z, fast = X, group = C
potion quick slots = 6, 7, 8
magic quick slots; Aard = 1, Quen = 2, Yrdn = 3, Ingi = 4, Axii = 5
inventory = I, alchemy = L, map = M
etc... etc... etc...

You can hit the spacebar and pause the game then change your combat stance by clicking on the icons on the upper left

Anyone else having trouble seeing their mouse cursor in this game?

Tap the TAB button in a non-combat environment to mouse around and interact.
There is not a mouse cursor in all camera angles; when you're having trouble, experiment by switching between camera angles F1, F2, and F3

The worst is the mouse acceleration/smoothing, don't know why games keep adding that nonsense. You move mouse normal, it goes this speed due to it being accelerated. Move it fast, it's so slow... Makes me not want to play. Since there doesn't seem to be a user.ini or config file, I will just uninstall this ♥♥♥♥. I went into the registry and it's not in there either.
