Mouse control is horrifying

[Glossu Rabban]

The click controls for this game is so bad some of the worst I have ever seen in these types of games, Obviously I am not even going to attempt to buy POE2 if I can't even get through the first one, I understand the game obviously I come from the 90s so I am quite versed in all things ARPG, CRPG and so on however I can't bring myself to be able to tolerate the mouse control, It won't even move the characters to where I am clicking in the mouse centre lol which is hilarious, I can't even walk into the centre of a room that has no objects there, I understand the game does an auto move when there is collision but there is no collision and it's hard to enjoy the game.

Obviously it doesn't matter if you fix it or not I moved on but just thought you should know lol horrific mouse controls some of the worst I've ever seen.

Anyway I hope nobody else is having this problem or I hope it gets fixed but have a nice day anyway ^^

Keep in mind that the game's software development life cycle has ended in 2017.

Furthermore, the developers have only been active in their own forum at obsidian.net.

Your problems sound odd and sound much like you need to practice placement of the destination circles (with LMB and RMB) some more. It isn't rocket science and works fine here.

I'm 50 been playing video games since I was a tween lol. I don't see any problems with the mouse control. Maybe something is wrong with your mouse. If it's not, you have bigger issues.

The game features more than one way how to set destination locations for selected characters. Single-click but also holding the button and rotating to adjust placement of characters. If also using the keyboard, pressing the '.' key activates automatic following of the camera during movement. Very helpful when relocating far through an area.

And, of course, whether character AI behavior and/or party AI behavior are ON or OFF may have an impact, too. With AI ON and characters set to aggressive behavior, they would move on their own instead of waiting for player to give commands. Some players want to control their characters themselves, but don't turn off AI.

In this game you are always clicking the ground. Imagine the screen was all white except for the 2D circles that define a characters position. That is all you can click.

It's actually very smart and intuitive to do it this way. A game like dragon age sucks with clicking because a character may be inside of another character (like during an animation) and it will be incredibly difficult to click on the character you want.
