Tool Wheel & Use Tool same key. WHY???

[Cachat]

The lack of any type of meaningful bindings for PC is one of my major complaints for this game aside from just some general optimisation.

I kept on drinking potions while trying use a broom, my work around is to always have invisibility potion at 0 and just have that set as my active tool.

I suppose it would be too much to ask having separate binding for each mount bypassing the need to even use the wheel the first place.

The teams that handle porting from console to PC use a controller to code everything. They've never seen a keyboard in their entire lives, so they don't know keyboards have more buttons than a controller. That's the only logical explanation for why this keeps happening with every console port.

more and more games are utilizing it, better get used to it now than later. holding tab shouldnt use consumeables. hold tab then press 3 after the wheel appears to mount broom.

holding tab does consume whatevers there and the wheel never seems to appear :(

What a stupid reply,not once did the Op say they were holding Tab,to drink potions

Did you actually read it or just used narcissism to assume what they had written

This is literally not a big deal, holding tab for less than 1 second isn't hard. There is also a sound cue when the window appears and it's safe to let go of tab without consuming anything idk exact timing but it's super fast. Not to mention that consumable are literally easy to craft and you get fully stocked on them easily.
I'd like the broom to be on a key on it's on yes, but you get used to it, and to have the consume action and consumable wheel on separate button is not needed.

I'm guessing no one still has an answer as to why you can't change them?. Just pointless jabbing and insults.. 🤬😡 I have contacted hogwarts legacy report it's not just you facing the issue, I can't seem to change the potions on my tool wheel either so I think they've scre*Ed up or forgot about that function. Cause xbox and ps both have it and able to access not pc. Youtube has nothing.

Hold Tab key down and Tool Wheel appears, use mouse and left click to select and change potion option. Consume with G key or just tap Tab but easily forgotten and you use up potions if you use Tab for consumption even though it's default just try to forget it is and only hold Tab for Tool Wheel.
Might help you might not, hmm might of got that wrong, G key for health potion so stuck with long hold of Tab (couple of seconds at most) for Tool Wheel and quick tap for consuming

The problem is that if you don't hold tab long enough you consume whatever was there instead of bringing up the wheel. Having it on a seperate button is the only smart thing to do. Leaving them on the same button is just poor design. And defending it is ridiculous.

Ugh... well that's disappointing. Was hoping I missed something in the control options. My current solution is to just set it to maxima potions and just remake them all the time... I'm constantly hitting it thinking I'm hitting inventory cause that's been inventory in the past like 3 games I've played. I guess I could change that around and make it like... T or something, so annoying.

Leave it on a potion that you don't have, then nothing is wasted. And yea, I hit tab a lot for inventory also. As you said, you get use to other games that you have played for a thousand hours...

If you use settings to change Tool Wheel to Mouse Button 2 then it all Just Works :)
