My general rule is 1st person with K&M and 3rd person with pad. I think this particular game is perfect for a pad.

Perfect with pad. Much preferred it and poured couple of 100 hours with Xbox controller. Very intuitive and fluid on a pad imo and much prefer it over KB&M

Yeah I only play with an Xbox controller, was awkward with the keyboard and mouse

Fine, I'll give it a try.

I wouldn't play it with anything else.
The game (like many others these days) was designed for a gamepad as the principle control method.

After dropping over 200 hours on the GoG version, I decided to get the GOTY edition on steam and start from scratch, modded up with the usuals. Absolutely loving it as I'd expect I would. It's aged very well, and remains my all time favourite game.

Just finished the main game myself and starting the HoS expansion. A huge incredible game that even after 180 hours so far still amazes and surprises.
After researching beforehand I started with the Ghost Overhaul mod along with several QOL and graphic ones. I am not one for micromanagement so used mods to get rid things such as repairs & applying oils. Also far more immersive when you clear the screen using the HUD mod.
Always played with K&M but will give the controller a go as well, never thought of it before.

I just find most games more enjoyable with a pad.
You get analogue movement and vibration effects, which I find adds degrees of immersion that a mouse and keyboard can't.

Agree, the only games I play on the PC with KB+M is FPS, everything else is pad.
I was quite happy playing TW3 with a mouse and keyboard, preferred it to using a 360 pad in honesty.
Most things I play with M&K without a problem, although some things are clearly better with a controller of some sort, not keen on racing games with a keyboard as an example.

After playing the whole game so far on kB & m, I just tried it with the Xbox controller, so much easier!! And more enjoyable!!
I think a lot of people must use a pad because I’m really bad at fps games and yet using a k and M on Battlefront I dont get pwned like I would on a serious shooter such as COD/BF seriesI even play Star Wars BF2 multiplayer with a pad!

Yeh, they're not the best at aiming!
When I used to play online years ago with the PC (only recently started SWBF2) it was with a m/kb on clan servers, playing COD1/2/UO and COD2 MW, and was competitive with them.
I tried SWBF2 with m/kb and was hopeless...I've lost my skills!

Just finished this, including the DLC, only took 4 years. Fantastic game, epic.
NG+ or RDR2 next?

Replaying now too. These colours blew me away. Still beautiful at times. Big storm rolling in from the right
