sorry i completely forgot about this. a steam controller configuration profile sorted the buttons out but man i just couldn't enjoy the game cause its just far to clunky. probably gonna uninstall which is a shame as it looks amazing.
That IS a shame. I agree that compared to polished smooth AAA games like God of War or Spiderman, there is a level of "clunk" here.
But god damn. The mechanics are so much deeper than in most games, so many skills and perks, the amazing alchemy system, the combat and the whole difficulty curve, the survival mechanics..I love it, especially on hardcore mode. Just now I was doing a mission where I had to find some ginger guy, and to find him I had to dispatch two bandits. I tried head on but they kicked my butt, so instead I waited until night time and took them out when they slept. Satisfying. And then I wanted to loot their chest but figured it could wait until morning, so I carried their bodies away and then slept in their makeshift bed, but when I woke up I found out I was somewhere else entirely in a nearby village, because I took the somnambulant perk
So I had to retrace my steps and find the camp again to loot the chest as I planned.
It definitely isn't for impatient people, but I love how immersive and engaging this game is, lot more than most games.
That atmosphere!
