Like The Game, DESPISE Keybinding!

[Wick]

Admittedly, I am not very far into the campaign, but I have to note that the keybinding system is needs work. The inability to erase default keybinds leaves little to sometime's no options to customize the keybinds as I would like, an issue that seems to be more and more common with games that were designed for console and then ported to PC (sometimes it feels like an afterthought). I am a hardened ESDF key user, which causes enough issues in itself, but trying to work with a less than optimized camera system and then setup keybinds for fluidity is nearly impossible with the system in its current state.

I really have to wonder how and why the developers missed such a simple thing as letting PC users keybind as they would like. For that matter, if you are not going to allow us to erase default bindings, why even have the option exist at all?
This needs to be fixed asap please, and a re-work of the camera controls as a whole should perhaps be considered?

[Teddy]

completely agree.

It's weird pc games even have hard coded keybinds where it can't be changed and/or limited

Witcher 3 was same way on launch with limited keys you could bind. Players spoke loud and hard and was only resolved via patch months later.

I too suffered from the same problem with Witcher 3, but ended up getting a controller to play with as the game's combat system is really designed around it. That however, is the only game I play with a controller on, and I am not about to go back to using a controller and sacrifice keys or make the game less fluid by doing so.
I guess I have to come back to the same issue, games being developed for console users and then PC gets what work done as they see fit to squeak by, which is rarely ever enough.

The game is best played with a controller.

Perhaps when it comes to camera controls, but IMO, fitting 43 keybinds onto a controller and still having fluid gameplay is not possible.

Well you may have difficulty imagining it, but I've spent a lot of time in the game both on console and PC. It is very fluid gameplay.

[Wick]

So, you have 43 keybinds on your controller, and can properly delete and re-bind every one of them?

[SnapSlav]

Um... did I miss something? You can literally customize your controls from the options menu.

Further, what's the problem with the camera controls? I've had no problems fluidly sliding it as I please with simple mouse movements and middle mouse button dragging. I never even use the hotkeys for the camera.

Is this just b***hing for the sake of b***hing, or are you talking about something completely different?

[Wick]

You must have missed something, because you cannot actually rebind controls via the options menu. You can attempt to, but it will simply add a second selection to that keybind, leaving you with two binds instead of replacing the default.

Uh... no? Cause I changed my hotkeys several times. Didn't like that L Shift was my highlight key, so I switched it to L Alt, which I'm used to in all kinds of games. Didn't make me create a 2nd hotkey, it allowed me to replace the first hotkey.

Ah, now I see the issue. OP has trained himself to use ESDF as his left-hand and he cannot delete E as a camera control.

Well, I think that's a strange problem to have, but I'm not one of these "lel first wurld prblems deal with it your priveleged kid" kinds of jerks, so I can appreciate the desire to have more-customization of game controls rather than less. Consider my confusion addressed. =)

Why are you so hostile, SnapSlav? As Eminem says, trying to rebind Q and E to E and Q just doesn't work. So, keybinding definitely has some issues.
