There’s three main things on [Mouse and WASD] squeme.
point 1. If i setup [shift] for sprinting (which feels good becouse is like stepping on the throttle), character will still do the offhand use animation as he/she runs.
(block or bow). Not a problem for gameplay but i would like to see my character running normally. With bow looks cool. I couldn’t find a way to control this.
[just discovered new thing] when you shift for run, and your character also blocks, you cannot jump on edges. Doesn’t happen with the bow equiped.
point 2. [#1] key for runes is too far away. In the middle of a fight you try to find the #1 but is hard to reach (it also makes bow so hard to use in the middle of the fights). I set up [alt] for my rune number 1, becouse its easy to reach with my thumb finger. Keys #2, #3 and #4 are fine becouse are more situational and easier to reach with fingers.
[Alt] lets me activate the main rune swiftly in the middle of the combat, also lets me shoot arrows comfortably.
[note here] In the [Mosty Keyboard Scheme], the point 1 works very well, but, for some reason [alt] key cannot be set up there or is not working. Runes work different in that squeme. Left click also not working here. So I stick to the first scheme.
point 3 (the power of your right hand)
[note here]
This point is for a mouse that has thumb buttons. The focus here is try to treat your hand as a replica of your full body.
So:
Left click (aka left arm of the character): for blocking and using bow.
Rick click (aka right arm of the character): strike
Middle mouse or wheelclick will be the targeting (not really important).
Thumb1 will be for parry (its in the left side of the hand, same as for blocking, backwards direction, feels good).
Thumb2 I set it up for “Shoulder Barge” (Same Side, forward direction, perfect).
Ofc Thumb 1 and 2 need alternative: i would suggest (V,R, wheelup or wheeldown)
OTHER KEYS
X,C (for swaping equiped right hand and left hand items)
[note: in the UI would be nice to swap position between main weapon and offhand weapon so they are on the same side as your character arms shows.
Wheelup Wheeldown are of no use for me right now other than rune selection, but im not using rune selection system anyways becouse i can’t be looking to the bottom on the screen in the middle of the fight. Also can’t be set it up anywhere.
(this happened also in EldenRing for example, but… NRFTW is better right?).
Last think: Menu Keys
After many hours, my brain still struggles with this:
Q and W are close to my hand, but i see it in the top of the screen (away from me)
1 and 3, viceversa. (also #1 still hard to reach).
Some times i loose myself on the menus and en up pressing button i didnt want, or selling items i didnt want x example (i promise I’m a sane person ^^).
I’m getting used to those menu keys (when i’m lazy to use the mouse) but it took me long time.
I thinks thats it.
Game control feels smooth for me right now.
Hope you can try it and enjoy it also.
And congratulations for this modern piece of art you made. <3
