@fingerboxes. My point was there are good reasons why some of us won't go the controller route. You made it sound like we were just being silly because we wouldn't switch. I never said that keyboard/mouse was the defining attribute for a PC game. I used to have both a joystick and wheel system setup many, many moons ago. It took awhile to get used to the keyboard and mouse combo, instead of just the straight keyboard/joystick or wheel. None of those were painful to use for me and the controllers are. Of course I was much younger and the "twitch" factor on most of those games was way lower. I preordered DA:I for both my husband and myself and he won't even bother trying it with all the issues. So that cash is probably going to be wasted. If they can't get the problems under control and FIX the crappy k/m interface, then I'm not sure I'm going to bother finishing. I've got 2500+ hours in Skyrim and can just wander back over there and add more. Or Fallout, or....choices, lots of choices. I WANT to love this game. I WANT to finish it. My threshold for bs in games gets lower as I get older and I'm just hoping DA:I doesn't reach it before they fix it to the point where I'm happy to play it.
Then we have a misunderstanding. I was responding to people who fixate on the idea that using a controller makes you somehow not a 'PC gamer'.
I have no controller pluged into my PC. Why should I? I prefer playing with kb+m. If you're fine with a controller than use it. It's your decision to do so - not mine.
Yes, it is. It is also a fact that most games on PC *do not* support controllers, even when they are 'just console ports'. This is very limiting, and I was very happy that DA:I has good controller support (though it could be better, for example, non-xinput controls should still function when a controller is used, but they don't. This locks people who have controllers with extra buttons from using those buttons, for example for quicksave\quickload).
