Why is the PC version of the manual full of console controller instructions?

The whole bloody thing is full of "Press A to set a waypoint" and Press A to set your active quest" and Press X to skip a line of dialogue."

 

Page 11: Press A to select a skill tree and move L to see the abilities there. When you spot one you'd like to learn, press A to unlock it and Y to confirm your decision.

 

Why even bother to have separate downloads of the manual if you're going to be too lazy to actually MAKE them for the platform they purport to support?

It's funny how it sort of starts out pretending that the keyboard and mouse controls exist and can be used. That lasts a couple pages before it just descends fully into a manual for the console controls.

My guess is that the keyboard and mouse interface didn't even exist until a couple months before release (it's painfully obvious it wasn't any sort of priority), so once it was finalized they really only had time to throw in a list of the default keyboard commands.

Even the way the manual is written seems to assume that the commands aren't remappable. It refers to specific buttons rather that what they do.

I asked the devs about the game's documentation prior to release. I cornered both Mike Laidlaw and Cameron Lee (separately) at a con, and they both promised better documentation. Laidlaw said it would be "in the game" so that they could edit it later with a patch if necessary. Lee said they'd "work with the fan community" to ensure it was available somewhere, even if they themselves didn't make it.

Neither was true.

This just confirms all the speculation about the KB&M interface, pretty pathetic considering the made for PC claims. And to then promise to update the documentation then not do it...............

When they added controller support for PC users, I don't think they realized that some people would still want to play using keyboard and mouse.
