How much trouble to switch between Controller and KeyboardMo

Post » Wed May 09, 2012 10:00 pm

I haven't yet purchased Skyrim, but when I do it will be for the PC. Now, I tend to favor the Keyboard/Mouse configuration for games like this, but my wife prefers the Controller. So, my question is how difficult is it to switch between the two? With Oblivion you had to edit the INI file specifically to make use of the controller, meaning you'd have to edit it back every time you wanted to switch back to using the keyboard and mouse. Is it necessary to configure the INI in order to use the controller on PC, or does the game automatically adjust according to whether or not the controller is present? From what I've read, Skyrim is much more controller-friendly than Oblivion was. I'm hoping that means I won't have to juggle INI files this time around.

I'm curious as to how you set up an xbox 360 controller to play it.

So, there is no configuring necessary to get it to work properly? That's good. Thanks.
