I don't see a game like this working with a controller.

You haven't been playing Divinity Original Sin, Wasteland 2 or X-Com 2 then. ;)

Even the Banner Saga has controller support (although frankly I prefer using the mouse for this game myself).

Controller support would require a substantial overhaul of the entire UI. We just don't have the time, sorry.

Thats very short sighted, think how many disabled people are in the world and have nothing better to do with their time but sit around and play games.

Developer answered already but I have to add that user interface in this game was obviously designed with K+M in mind and without any compromises.

D:OS, Wasteland 2 and XCom were planned since the development start to have also controller support, it's a decision that affects the game price - compare game release prices.

Oh and Banner Saga is a phonegame playable with one finger. E:Viking is PC game. Please, don't put those two in the same basket.

Indeed. Or the 1000 tactical jrpgs and strategy games in the history of videogames across consoles that are played using controllers.

But it seems that ship for this game has aleady sailed as Jonas points out.

This is a £25 game its not a cheap £10 game. Always none disabled people making excuses, i just hope you never find out what its like to live in a world that doesnt want you, because you know, those disabled people always complaing about how crap life is for them bla bla.

Well said mate.

It won't happen for this game so Evil-Diaper you should look into using programs like Xpadder that emulate a mouse with a controller or perhaps the Steam controller (I don't have one so I can't help).

Not true.

It wasn't planned at release far from it.

Most people used to say it couldn't be done before the Enhanced Edition of DOS came out.

Like many others, I would purchase the game if it had controller support :sneakingspirit:

If I may ask, what exactly is your disability. Just out of curiosity.

EDIT: Oy, I just noticed this was a necro-ed post from nearly a year ago. :sigh:

Game is still being enhanced, it is never too late to consider nice additions once the game core is polished.
Console ports usually bring such as well. Sales are increased, and the community expands.
Reading pc master race morons defend the keyboard/mouse only dogma is sad.
