slowing down QTE

[Sarnen]

so I'm using a controller except I'm not used to it, and its damned frustrating even wit ha keyboard. I'm not l33t, but I want to feel like I have a little bit more say in how the story goes. Is there a setting I'm not seeing to give them more time? like I just had a character die because I'm a tenth of a second off in a reaction that had 1 second, while trying to aim with a targeting reticle that moves at the speed of molasses in january.

This isn't an insanely difficult game but the QTE as the basis of challenge is incredibly frustrating. Is there a setting or cheat engine script?

Stick with it for a bit and you'll get the hang of it.

Don't know if you already found it, but at the accessibility options there's something called "quick time event timeout", which disables the time frame for the QTE-s, meaning you have all the time in the world to press the right button, and the only way fail them is to press the wrong button. The only downside that this only works in single player mode.

QTE are ruining my first gameplay.
On the Ship for example during when we have control of Fliss and he has to defend himself from the first encounter with the ghosts and also when he meets Brad, here I have failed the QTE and I am dead.
Only later did I discover among the options that the time limit can be deactivated, but this would facilitate too much, for example, through an update it would have been enough to reduce the speed of this time.
Even by reloading the savegame I can't go back to before Fliss died.
This is the only negative side I found in this title.
Fliss was my favorite, although I wanted to at least try to save everyone else.

I found that setting and turned it on, but right at the start of the game, the dummy fight is still timed. Are there QTEs that are affected while others remain timed?

If i recall correctly, it isn't timed, but I'm not sure. I mean the circle showing the time is there, but even when the timer runs out, the event won't progress until you press a button. Every other event should be like this. The only other exception that I'm aware of is that there are no settings to make the "stay calm"/breathing events easier.

Ah, silly me, I didn't risk letting it time out. I'll try that. Every QTE is like that (I'm 2 hours in now), so I thought it was 100% bugged.
Thanks!

Personally im fine with the normal type of QTE events to react and stuff. But jesus there is so many dumb QTE's. Like when you go to pick something up, you have to press A, X and or Left click; then your guy sits there like he ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ lost their memory, so you have to HoLd RiGhT TriGgeR or w.e the PC control is. The you have to spin it around WHILE holding the right trigger. If you accidentally let go, you have to watch a 5-10 second animation just to re do it xD.

I get it is an interactive game but that is just too much. I clicked A on the item to interact with it smh. Not to sit there like I turned into a statue.

The normal QTE's are pretty fast in this game though. I usually hit it with in 170 to 250 MS depending on if I was got off guard or not. I can imagine for the average reaction time person which is I think around 250 to 300 MS. So for someone that just isnt naturally gifted or average with reaction times. I can see how game ruining it would be.

For instance Resident evil 5 you literally got half a second to react (500 ms) on hard. Normally that wouldnt be bad, but if you use a keyboard. The two combination of keys are just normal keyboard buttons. So the ICON looks literally the exact same at first glance, and since I do have dyslexia it makes it damn near impossible to react unless im guessing. It is just grey buttons with a letter. Most games on PC have a Button QTE, Space, and mouse buttons. They all look different as an icon. So you see image and brain go "SMASH". That was the one time I had QTE's just ruined for me. If I died to a QTE, id literally switch to a controller to see color coded buttons. Plus the controller for some reason only had 1 button presses 90% of the time while PC it was always two buttons that are random between 4 buttons.

Im glad for the people that need the option to disable QTE's these days. Even if I am an arrogant ass when it comes to confidence in skill level. I still like when games that deserve attention get more players playing it.
