Melee sticky aim

[Papa Nurgle]

any way to turn that off? it is frustrating to go for a melee just to swing at an object 40 feet away. especially in the middle of combat

Have you tried to use same key to unlock "lock on target" from target that you don't want to be locked on? First press will activate on target, one more press and it will stop to lock on that target. It isn't auto locking on target so far I know, you have use a key for it to lock on and if it is the wrong target, then press again same key.

Interesting. I had the opposite problem today. It kept randomly switching to the bow. I wasn't even using the RMB. It would just randomly switch and refuse to switch back to my axe.

Are you using a controller? Or the keyboard/mouse? With the k/m, you have to RMB to aim. Also, I turn off the aim assist completely. It LOCKS you HARD to a single target.

No this isnt an issue with the bow it is purely the melee aspect. One such example is I was trying to swing and break cages to let some people out but instead it would swing at the breakable crates that were BEHIND me. I use a hard lock on when against actual enemies (mostly to avoid that very issue) so thankfully it hasnt cost me a fight but it is still an annoying thing to deal with

Tell you what also gets annoying I use a one handed axe and shield. While trying to break objects like pots, crates and mines. When right in front of my face I always miss them atleast 1-3 times because of the weapon swing.

I also have had issues to hit object like pots or wood with axe, try to use 2H sword instead as it seem to use a hit box that is more in front of character or use Light Bow as it have more arrows to use (if you don't use bow that much for targets). There plenty of stands with arrows and with auto loot you will also pick up arrows from stubs and other places while moving.

Melee weapon have different animation for heavy or light attack which also will have an impact on how they will hit when you try to objects (not NPCs). Try out different weapon and change weapon when you know you will be in combat soon. (Game will stop while changing gear, so you can change weapon even when under attack)
