Just subscribed to the discussion as I've been having some difficulties here too. It's not a major issue as I'm quite comfortable playing it with the keyboard and mouse, but my Xbox One controller seems to only do half the job when it's plugged in! I can attack or use whatever's ahead of me and move around, but can't move my crosshairs or navigate the menus.

i was played lord of the rings war of north game usb xbox control work but if might work for elder scroll game too because someone did't put full control support in store page

[Holden]

This game does not have xinput support so xbox controllers won't work properly. I have been using the steam controller for it and that works wonderfully.

okay

You can make the xbox one controller work with Oblivion, I've been using this setup for Morrowind and Oblivion. For some reason it is a bit more janky in Oblivion, but I've tried almost every concievable set up and this is the best.

It requires some work, you have to have some basic understanding of how Ini files/settings/data work.

Steps;

1) download controller companion off of steam
2) go to controller companion workshop and search Oblivion
3) subscribe to one of the controller configuations displayed.
3a) pick a profile that contains Ini file changes in the description, these changes drastically
improve functionality (such as walk/run gradient function for control stick)
4) copy and paste the ini file changes into the Oblivion Ini document in the game folder (not located in the data folder) then save changes
4a) backup your ini text document just in case you lose track of what you are doing
5) load controller companion and make sure the profile you subscribed to is displayed under profiles. Note that you don't need to select the profile it will run when oblivion.exe is run
6) turn on your controller and load oblivion
6a) make sure that you run any overclocking software after loading controller companion as
it doesn't play nice out of that order.
7) depending on the profile you subscribed to, some button mapping on your controller may be double mapped, meaning you might pull out a weapon and cast a spell with the same button.
7a) if the above is the case you will have to figure out which buttons are double mapped and
change them in (possibly) both oblivion's in game settings and controller companion's own
mapping software.

Having completed the above steps you should be able to:
-utilize all button function from vanilla/console controlls
-walk/run threshold on left thumbstick (this will be the most "janky" part of the control scheme vs the buttery smooth console controls

note: you will not be able to use all hotkey slots, from my experience you will be limited to just 4.

Honestly, in my opinion, playing this game with a controller is a bit more difficult than playing it with a keyboard and mouse. I mean, yeah, menus are a bit more annoying, but when it comes to combat, there's nothing easier to use since you can pretty much slingshot your camera to follow your enemies that jump behind you... But, of course, if you prefer, I suggest XPadder. It costs $10, but it's pretty useful...

There's another thing you could try, and I don't recommend it, but you could try one of those remote controller apps for your phone... Me personally, I use one, but only because it let's me play my PC games on my phone, just with a huge amount of delay... Which is why I don't recommend using one of those.

can't play games in my smartphone they won't.

I was talking about one of those apps that let's you view your computer's screen through your phone and use buttons on-screen to control the game/computer...
