Control scheme is utter trash

[argotha]

Not only its very different from XBOX360 controls but its also bizarre to the point where you can't block and rotate camera at the same time because block is on button B, same for attack you can't attack and move camera at the same time because attack button is A. Jump is on Right thumbstick which is uncomfortable at least. I had to figure it out how to put items on quick slots.
Just for comparison XBOX360 controls scheme is this: LT is enemy/item highlight;
LB - quickbar;
RB - ranged/magic combat
Y - jump;
X - melee combat activation.
Combat controls is also different.
LT - block/zoom with crossbow;
RT - melee attack/shooting;
RB switches to ranged/magic;
A - counter/parry;
B - puts weapon away.

What we have right now is Nintendo Switch controls scheme or what? Who have this game on switch? Can you corfirm?

Agree its near unplayable with a controller

You can also use the "Xbox Accessories" app in Windows 10 to remap the buttons, which is what I did.

I made attack and block on RB and LB, switching them with A and B.

Also, how do you set up the quick slots? I still haven't figured that out

Hey everyone, I'm a long time Steam Controller/Input user. I made a quick config with some changes after I found a bow to test if it worked fine (it did).

The changes can be seen in the config preview, they are minor switches, but there's plenty of tuning done to the Left Analog Stick to make the walk/run cycle feel a little smoother. Also added Gyro for better aiming. Sadly I couldn't map Block to LT, somehow it kept triggering the quickslot bar (Steam Input bug).

Here's the config: steam://controllerconfig/40300/2923506049

You need copy and paste the text in your browser, then import the config.

Also, this is supposed to be temporal, perhaps the devs will update the default configuration. When this happens, you should switch back to the default config in Steam Input.

This is a good setup but when in the map you can press RT just fine but when you press LT it takes you off that screen almost immediately.

Yeah, the control scheme is identical on Switch. Activate/Attack with A, Guard with B, etc. It's really weird because you need to be able to move the camera around while attacking, but if you're stuck using the A button you can't really touch the Right thumbstick.

It's very odd since the older 360 control scheme was spot-on. I'm sure they were trying to bring parity to the controls of Risen 2 or something, but Risen's combat is very different from Risen 2 and 3.

very different, kinda better but worse..

but never where these games.. or any others
gothic etc
these were meant for pc
its like getting a copy of elder scrolls daggerfall
and hoping the 90 buttons needed on the keyboard can be converted to a few buttons.
lol

as I grew up OUR games had key board layouts which you put over the empty spaces on the keyboard, where on this paper or cardboard it would show what button did what

aww I miss those dayz

i meant on all platforms other than and or steam
all I can say is controllers suck for fps
old school know
mouse is direct controllers analog and rotate slowly or quickly in a direction
that takes more time
and its not as accurate.
so old games and gamers never intended controllers on pc for anything but emulation..

Huge Hugs!
