So a question...

Post » Thu Jan 24, 2013 10:03 am

So the idea for combat is for players to click left button for an attack and right for block basicly same as it is in Skyrim etc.
Now my question is since were forced to 3rd person view im interested in how or if will we be able to turn with mouse
or will we be forced into keyboard turning aswell since OBVIOUSLY ur gonna click with your mouse in order to attack
so it will be hard to hold the button to turn the character and/or camera around.
Of course it will be possible to still move the camera (or char~~) around while clicking constantly to *auto* attack but in my opinion thats a little too impractical.
If i missed something here or my vision of it is just blurry and it will be different, cool, ok w/e please educate me if not ....
./discuss cause this will be a pain especially in pvp

I don't have the answer to your question, but I'm guessing if its like most MMOs, you'll be able to rebind actions to different buttons/keystrokes, depending on your preferences. So if you don't like the default setup, just change it.

You can swap to first perso also

Not sure how camera navigation will work, ask a regular MMO player c:

I was wondering that too. They wouldn't possibly make us keyboard turn... would they?

I don't understand your question. Keyboard turning... ?

WASD to move forward, backward, left, and right. Left click to attack. Possibly right click to attack/block with offhand. Probably a button to unsheathe weapons and enter combat (F would be nice). Left click to click stuff out of combat. Hold right click to rotate out of combat. Simple enough....

Camera is moved with the mouse. wasd for directions. There will be some key for autorun and some key to toggle walk most likely. So you could hold down w (or just use auto run) and use the mouse simultaneously to direct your character around.

Basically it should work just like it does in Skyrim.

I bet you will be able to bind different keys so mouse turning can be done. Also, some games out there allow you to increase turn speed thus making keyboard turning and mouse turning about the same. besides, I am sure you pvp and I think you would be surprised at how many keyboard turners you die to.

However you play Skyrim in 3rd person, is probably how it's going to work in TESO.

Plus there's the first person option.

It's Xpadder for me. I can't use a KB&M. Well, at least a mouse for extended periods of time. My aging arthritis won't allow it. As it is highly doubtful the game will be directly supportive of a controller, Xpadder is my only option.
