PC UI and control scheme

[lazarusblack]

Disclaimer: I love the game and I also have no issue with console players or consoles in principle. Gotta say it now as the forum is leaning towards toxic rn.

So I find a lot to love about Hogwarts Legacy, but there are a few design decisions that I find infuriating as a PC gamer. Primarily the fact they have stuck to the diamond/4 button control choice for spells. PC gamers have a whole keyboard at their disposal, why do we have to be restricted by the control schemes for console? Sure, I get that plenty of PC gamers use a controller too. My husband is one of them. But damn, I'd love to have access to the full gamut of spells on a single taskbar and not have to cycle between a series of "sets" (which are locked behind talents anyway??? Since when was locking UI flexibility and functionality behind in game talent/trait selection a good design choice?)

Now I don't expect this to change in this game. I also appreciate that devs have limited time to cater to PC gamers control schemes. It's all about cross platform these days which means homogeneity of design. But if a game like HL, with the resources and backing of Warner aren't willing. Then as PC gamers I suspect we are going to have to get used to games not being developed with our platform in mind.

Frankly, that sucks.

Terrible skill slotting decision, low inventory space and not being able to assign keys for different potions/attack plants/broom summon are the main issues for me, lazy port from console.
Outside of UI topic the next irritating thing is plant and potion deployment/harvesting from their tables. Having to walk to each one is just annoying. All planted herbs and crafted potions should be accessible in their planeter/potion station instead of having to walk to them one by one.
Oh and broom flighting with mouse is a no go, why tf we can't just change altitude using mouse direction.
These are probably the biggest issues/annoyances for me.

Second the broom flight not being mapped to mouse.
