PC Controls [Keyboard + Mouse]

[Denelorn]

For the love of god every preview video ive seen or small runthrough of the first level EVERYONE is using a controller. Is PC controls going to be WASD for movement and mouse aim + left click to shoot + other keyboard hotkeys for skills? Or does anyone know what the keyboard + mouse setup is like? For the love of god if its right click to move + left click/aim with mouse and like 2 keyboard hotkeys im going to be sad

I'm with you, WASD, etc... :)

they will probably add a cursor for aiming while you run around WASD style. Would be easiest to control character by. Besides, PC Merlin fireballs need to be fired accurately! Gimme a crosshairs!

And I guess there's no chance to remap the default WASD keys, nothing has been mentioned about it.

I believe the direction you are aiming is indicated by the arc beneath the character. Different attacks have different range, but they always go off in the general direction of the arc.

For instance, the Wizards giant AOE Fireball has a fixed range, so you cannot aim it other than the direction. Which means positioning will be a factor.

Please see my thread (they won't bother stickying any helpful posts here so these useful threads inevitably drift pack to page 27 and are hard to find via forum search):

[video] Missclicks -- finally shows keyboard/mouse control scheme
http://steamcommunity.com/app/258970/discussions/0/613936673448660274/

CONTROL SCHEME, text-wise:

MOVE = W, A, S, D

USE POTION= SPACEBAR

BUY/RESURRECT = E key
=============

WARRIOR ACTIONS:
SLASH = Tap LMB (Left Mouse Button)
CLEAVE = TAP LMB 3X
WHIRLWIND = HOLD LMB

CHARGE/BASH/RIDE BIG MONSTER = RMB
===============

ELF ACTIONS:
SHOOT = Tap LMB
CHARGED SHOT = Hold LMB

TUMBLE/VAULT = RMB
*The Control Scheme menu glimpsed didn't list anything for Elf dropping bombs. Maybe a subsequent page or something? I think maybe it only lists these two classes because the other two players were using controllers? Maybe something like that.

The Wizard will be a bit trickier because they're making us clack keys 1,2, and 3 in various combinations to choose the spells, rather than just keys 1-9.

And of course this thread will be on page 19 by tomorrow, and someone else will post tomorrow asking, "HEY, what's the mouse and keyboard controls look like!" *sigh* If they stickied like 10 of the most helpful answer-posts, it would save everyone a lot of searching and redundancy.
