I'd like to say Howdy on my first post, and Roses to PB for giving us Gothic. I can't wait to play the full version!!
This is something i posted on another MB, I figure it'll work here too. Here goes:
EVERYONE is jumping up and down about the controls.
Let's not let the control thing screw up what IS a REALLY good game!
I am a lefty so this works really well for me.
I have bound all the functional keys to the numpad.
num8: forward/select/attack
num7: draw weapon !!*MODE*!!toggle (you all DO know that you can't do anything else when this is active! Right?)
num9: Action
num4: strafe left/drop
num5: inventory
num6: strafe right/put in inventory
num1: turn left
num2: back
num3: turn right
num*: mission notes
num0: jump/sidestep
num+: sneak
num-: player status
For run/walk i use the rt-shift and for the look around functions i just bind whatever.
Of course I use the mouse as the game dictates. I was so pleased when i found the wheel zooms in and out! VERY DAOC!!
If you are not a lefty, try modifying the alternative setting, offered in the controls screen, to a similar pattern.
After I set the controls this way I never had to think about them again. I actually started winning battles, and picking things up! The game plays VERY smoothly this way.
I hope this helps some folks to enjoy the game without any control probs.
Excellent job PB!!!
Later

Hello, welcome, the controls are usually fine for leftys, however we only make up 1/9 of the population, so I do not know why PB made it the default setting.

I'm glad you aren't having trouble with the controls. Can you help me? Because I am.
How do you swim (I just drown)?
Where is the game journal? |

The journal is L for me.
To swim, enter the water, you will float, arrows make you move, right click and you will submerge, once submerged, right clicking will propel you. |

I have not successfully saved myself from drowning yet either;p, but I believe it is done with the action button/left mouse, and use the mouse for your direction.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
BTW I didn't mean to sound gloaty, if that's how it came off.
What I mostly meant was that when I grouped all the keys conveniently together, the controls suddenly made sense.
Alot like Severance/Blade of Darkness.
OK I'm wrong;)

Right-click gives you underwater propulsion!

To surface you right click mouse down and hit the down arrow. Then you will bob up to the surface. |
