the controls and menu in the pc version

Post » Wed May 09, 2012 6:23 am

Hello,

First of, game looks beautiful, but i had a question, will there be an actual pc version released? instead of this utterly useless xbox port? or can i go to the store and get a free xbox controller to be able to play this as it's bloody impossible to work with mouse and keyboard, half of the menu works with the mouse, the other half needs the keyboard, and none of it works fluently.
Why is it so hard for game developers these days to make a proper pc version?

Regards,

Someone who's very disappointed.

Yes, User Interface and mainly using said interface have been a real test of my patience.
I do not think I will be able to enjoy this game for much longer unless they patch user interface.

My main beef is:
Too complicated to use 1-9 keys.
Equipping Left/Right mouse buttons can be confusing, especially combined with 1-9 keys. I came to a situation when I map healing to key 2, than press key 2 once to equip said spell. Press it once again to equip it in my second hand, this is where things start to be really frustrating.

Anxiously awaiting UI mods... The UI almost NEVER does what I want it to. It often selects conversation options I didn't want because I missed clicking the correct spot (workaround by using the mouse wheel to select, then click), and navigating the perks thing is terrible. Sometimes it's easier to use the k/b to navigate, sometimes the mouse, and having trouble getting the hang of what to use when.

Yes, it would probably be easier to use a controller... But I bought the PC version because I like k/b and mouse for this type of game.

Is a UI to suit the platform too much to ask? So many games seem to suffer this issue.
