I was wondering if Dragon Age 3 will have controller support for PC

[deuce985]

Probably not.

None of the ME games support control and neither do the DA games. Why would they start now?

Why on earth would someone want to use a controller for the PC version of the game??
:huh:

Because they vibrate?


((j/k, btw. In truth, no idea))

Having played Dragon age 2 on Pc and PS3, I found controller easier to play

Perfer games for PC, better service

If the keyboard doesn't function in a superior manner on the PC, this will be truly depressing and inexcusable.

I wouldn't say controller was superior, I just perfered to play with a controller

I prefer to play with a controller for something like the ME series. For DA(), I liked it with the keyboard best. DA2, I am certain I could have played it with a controller.

I support the option for people to play K&M and Controller, though. It's good to have options.

I could have warned you you'd get this reaction.

I actually support this. While I think that a PC version of DA3 should have a good PC-specific interface and control scheme (mouse/keyboard), I also think it should have controller support.

It is good to have several options, but far more importantly, there is an increasing number of PC gamers who like or even need to use a controller, and DA has become consolified anyway. PC DA:O was very much a tactical game, and would have suffered from having  a controller, but that wasn't the case with DA2 and almost certainly won't be the case with DA3.

Increasing numbers of people are hooking up their PC to big HDTV's (I already occasionally do so with my laptop, and I will get a dedicated gaming PC for the living room later this year), and it would be nice to be able to use a controller with DA3.

Moreover, I know (from personal experience but also from multiple comments on various forums) that for a lot of older gamers (30, 40+ and beyond) using a controller is ergonomically much better. There's a lot of us adult gamers who have, or will, develop various wrist complaints (RSI/carpal tunnel), and mouse/keyboard control schemes are extremely taxing, especially in the case of longish, mouse/keyboard intensive games like RPG's (or MMO's for that matter).
This often comes on top of intensive PC use at work and even at home (Internet...)...

In fact, I would now go so far as to say that, wherever it is feasible, the option to use a controller should be obligatory for PC games. Simply for ergonomical reasons.

Why not let all versions of the game use both controller/gamepad and keyboard input? I know I can plug a keyboard into my PS3 and it works fine. It seems to me that all the code should already be there.

To me, this is even more baffling than wanting a controller for DA. It's a shooter. You point-and-shoot. There's no better way to point than with a mouse. That's what a mouse is designed to do.

Its not the mouse that the problem. Its using the keybored for moving thats hard,especially when moving backwards and sideways. In mass effect you need to move quickly into cover or you get shot at. I found mass effect 3 on PC unplayable because of this.

Note: really it more of a comfort thing. Using a mouse and keybored involes using  your wrists and most of your fingers, which get sore after a while, compared to controller which relly just needs your thumbs and index fingers.

I combine a joystick and mouse. There's some excellent computer game pads with programmable keys, one-hand design, and joysticks.

I play DA on the PC and suppose that the series will allways be better with a keyboard and mouse setup, at least until the gameplay remains party based and pause&play. But I have nothing against controller support (there are a lot of people who would like to mix the ergonomic of the gamepad with the graphics of the PC).

Not to say that when a game is developed with the gamepad in mind, it's probably better to play it with the native setup. DA is a strange hybrid and it's not part of that family of games. But there are plenty of games for PC that are better to be played with a controller: Assassin Creed, Batman, Alpha Protocol and yes... even Skyrim (I've not tested it myself but there are people who suggests that even TW2 play better with a controller).

I know for sure that I would have liked ME3 gameplay more if I could have played it with a controller. So, I support the OP: give PC players the option to choose their favourite controller setup since it's allready been done for the Xbox and it's not going to cost a lot, I suppose.

Imho, it would even help the sales on the PC platform.

I support this, too. More options is always a good thing. Bioware did it for Jade Empire, why not for Dragon Age? Sure, in DA:O the K&M was a must, but after DA2 this changed. So, give to people more options to enjoy your games Bioware.

[Nighteye2]

I support this only if it does not diminish the mouse and keyboard control options, as was the case in DA2. Please allow users of mouse and keyboard to exploit the full control options of that setup, without being subject to the same limitations as people playing with controllers...

[Dakota Strider]

As long as they do not remove keyboard/mouse options, because they cannot add certain ones for a controller; go for it.

[Solmanian]

Lets face it, the majority either want controler support, or atleast don't mind either way. I don't understand why all of bioware games don't have support for controlers? It's pretty standard nowadays. Both on pc-only games, and especialy on cross platform games like bioware been making since ME. Yes, keyboard gives a variety of tactical options that could be beneficial and more comfortable for games like DA whre you can pause and stratagize. But it's no reason to exclude it... They allready do the layout and work on controllers for the PS&xbox versions. I'm no expert, but it can't be that hard. Skyrim has it, witcher 1&2 has it, amalur has it, I can litaraly go all day with hundreds of games that allow the controller option... It's a choice. I play eclusively on the PC, my console is just gathering dust, but I enjoy the casual gameplay of controlers.

They allow same sex LI, but controller support is out of the question?

[Servo to the bitter end]

No reason not to. It all comes down to preference, but it's silly not to support both if the game is developed cross platform. Plus, the XBOX 360 controller is incredibly comfortable, and since the wired ones connect via USB, you can use them in PC games.

Personally, given the choice between a keyboard/mouse and a controller, I would choose the controller in almost every case (RTS games, MMOs and Diablo, I'll stick with a mouse and keyboard). I certainly prefer it in RPGs like Dragon Age and shooters like Mass Effect.
