Oh, I totally agree! ahahah you don't know how many times I think the same thing while playing
Numbnumb said:One note. WASD works if you are right handed. For left handers and for those who have no choice but to use their left hand for the mouse it becomes a twister. The saving grace is that the game does allow you to reassign the WASD keys to the up/down/left/right arrows.
dlevere said:What DocRemo said. I agree with everything that he said.
I was FORCED to buy a gamepad because of the cumbersome WASD system. I was FORCED to buy a new graphics card just to play this game.
At least give us the choice of whether we can use the mouse or not. And go back to the old dice look and get rid of the QTE's.

I really wanted to make it work but it's just akward and fiddly.
Sure i haven't played many PC games and this was always the reason why. I just hate keybopard commands.
I know i come from a console background but The Witcher 1 was just so easy to contol...so enjoyable to play, but now.....no....It's just not the same.
Perhaps i'll go and play Skyrim that i'd put aside until i'd finished The Witcher 2......
Purpleknight said:For me is too easy to understand the complaint. It started with two options and ended with only one (Will The Witcher 3 have 0 options? Yeah, BAD joke). The more options, more happy people you'll have, because not everybody is comfortable with the same game systems.
I LOVE WASD control system because is very friendly to "fast-paced action", but not everyone is friendly with fast-paced action, so there are people that like other systems more tactical/strategical/whatever-alike with mouse control, for example.
To sum up:
-The Witcher 1: HI TACTICAL AND REAL-TIME-ACTION FANS!
-The Witcher 2: HI REAL-TIME-ACTION FANS!
-The Witcher 3: HI!

A ridiculous oversight(?) by CDP on hardcoding controls in a PC game. I'm still baffled by this. I had to rig up third party software to remap keyboard buttons in order to remap certain keys.

zdanman said:BELOW I WILL SHOW HOW TO CHANGE THE MOUSE CONTROLS
WASD fails for this kind of game... this is not an over the head game... its better played over shoulder like Fallout 3 and Dragon Age...
FPS gamers dont use WASD because its too hard to lean and reload and many other functions at the same time if you have your finger on the W key the entire time.
Therefore FPS gamers rely on the mouse to execute the most common command (move forward).
To change the Mouse Controls in The Witcher Enhanced just download AutoHotKey and make a [name].ahk file with the lines.....
-----------------------------------
RButton::W
XButton1::RButton
-----------------------------------
and run it. This makes the right mouse button send the W key (go forward) and the side mouse button do what the right use to (magic commands).
This would not work in GlovePIE because GlovePIE would inturn recapture the right mouse button again (making the side mouse button move you forward as well).
Your Welcome. Have fun with a now corrected game.
