Click-to-move accessibility option

[Icerazer]

Unfortunately, I have to refund the game for now. I'm physically disabled and can't use a physical keyboard or controller. I was so happy to see that the combat had mouse control... and then just as bummed when I realized that the abbey doesn't.

Are there any plans to make it so the mouse moves the character at the base?

Hi, disabled gamer here. After reading, it plays like x-com meets slay the spire, I also thought I could do everything one-handed / mouse only, and was a bit bummed I couldn't.

However, I can move around the abbey using voice commands; specifically with a program called VoiceAttack. It's even available on Steam and not that expensive. It does all the key presses and more and really opened up games for me. In this case, you might have to include the left ctrl walking option, because the default movement speed is so freaking fast you'll run past your target all the time before you can say "Stop".


PS: Repost. I'm trying to help.

VA is definitely great. For whatever reason, I've never thought of using it to move before! I'll put it back on my wishlist, and when it goes on sale, I'll try that!

Still, just wonder why combat is mouse controlled, but the exploration isn't.

Hi Disabled Gamer here too.

I have a Razer Death Addler Mouse (the one with 17 Buttons) I have mapped the movement Keys to buttons on the mouse this allows me to use mouse to move in the Abbey Parts of the Game.

Hope this helps.

If you bind move forward to one of the side buttons i think u should be good in the abbey

Yes exactly as just moving forward and steering with mouse is all that is really necessary.

Awesome suggestion for many, unfortunately, I have about... 1 inch of mobility in my right thumb, and that's it. So, I'm stuck -- not only using a touchpad -- but a Synaptics touchpad which they don't seem to put into laptops anymore. Which means I'm stuck with an old laptop, too. I was surprised the game ran as well as it did!

In the same boat. Fortunately I can use a Razer mouse as a workaround.

Can you use your feet at all? Or your head?

Even the combat uses the keyboard unfortunately, for camera movement and using items and discarding.

I'd refund if I were you. This isn't touch only friendly. There's not even edge scrolling for camera movement.

Pretty disappointed in Firaxis.

Not really. You need the powers wheel and THREE different use buttons.

I just want to know *why*. I know they're not going to change it, as they aren't exactly an indie developer.

I was referring to a movement workaround not the other use buttons that may be a separate issue.

I guess, ignorance. The accessibility part of the options isn't great overall. And our needs are pretty specific. Still, I love the game and it's totally playable with VA and mouse movement only, since there are no time sensitive inputs / QTEs.
