Controller Support on PC
Is controller support any better now? Most of the threads I read are at least a year old and not very positive. Hoping to use a ps4 controller (even if I have to use Controllermate or something like it)

Xbox controllers work well, PS4 not as good, but still better then back in the day. Improvments have been made for sure since the early days, The UI is improved when using a controler, regardless of which type you use. But it's still handy to have the keyboard close by for inventory and such. I play mouse/keyboard, but my girl plays PC hooked to a big screen, with an Xbone controller. She can do most everything with it.

“Full controller support” is a huge exaggeration tho, sure most things is doable but the keybindings are horrible and theres no way to change them(have not tried modding yet) feels like a bad alpa release imo, :(
