I feel like I am clicking constantly in this game (Diablo 2 carpal tunnel coming back)
Hey all, loving the game so far, my only issue with it is that I feel like I am clicking constantly throughout the game and I would love to see see either movement or dialog be accomplished with the keyboard.

Really need to allow for aswd to control movement and allow spacebar to skip dialog.

Anyone else feel the same way?

Thanks!

I don't even think WASD support would be required if we had keyboard shortcuts for things. Space for dialogue skip, T for tickets, O for tow, etc. would do wonders for my finger exhaustion

I just started playing this, and was thinking the exact same thing! WASD seems like it would really really help, but so would shortcuts.

The devs cut their teeth on This War of Mine, which has the same kind of controls as this - so that's probably why. This game doesn't need point-and-click as much, but they may just be used to it.

I'm going to add my +1 to this idea. i don't mnd clikcing for movement, but having to click away for cuffs, etc is a pain. having hotkeys for those things would be nice.

um... spacebar DOES skip dialog? Maybe this was added in after this post, but this is one shortcut that I've just tested and indeed does work.

Shortcuts for anything else would make an already easy concept too easy to execute. The difficulty in the cuffs is managing stam then having to move the mouse down to actually cuff them, simulating having to do so with your hands in a way. If there was a shortcut for this, cuffing criminals would be insanely easy.

I really liked the adventure story of beat cop, and I was surprised to see it was done by the same people who did 'war of mine', until I thought about the clickfest gameplay.

From the hundred or so computer buttons, I have to mash the same one for beat cop action. My index finger literally gets exhausted. Running is the worst.
