Is it possible some way to get the controls for Witcher and Witcher 2 configured the same way as Witcher 3 For PC. Witcher 3 controls just make a lot more sense and are so much easier to manipulate than those of its predicessors. Actually, The original controls were better than Witcher 2 conrols but not as good as the controls for witcher 3. It seemed like you had to manipulate a ton of different controls in Witcher 2 to do what you could do with a few in WItcher3.
Is there some Mod that allows it to be the same or is there a setting that needs to be changed to make it that way? I've looked through the forums. DId I miss it somewhere? Has someone posted about this already? Am I the only one that feels like the controls were just massively cumbersom in Witcher 2?

Funny, I had to adjust Witcher 3 controls to match Witcher 2 controls, they just make the most sense to me. You can change the keybindings in a config tool before you start the game.

When you start the game, there opens a client first. from which you actually start the game. But before you do that, actually start the game, i mean, you go into "Options" through that client. That opens the Cofiguration Tool where you can do all your graphic-settings. Down below is a Button "Input Settings...". Click on that and you open up another menu where you can change your Keysettings. Save and start the game et voilá...problem solved ^^

If you don't have the Numberblock on your keyboard, you NEED to adjust your keysettings. From experience i can say the auto-setting is completey screwed without that numberblock... XD

Thank you for your post. However, It is more than just a keybinding setting that I'm talking about. I would like to use the right mouse button to use the witcher senses, Middle Mouse wheel to scroll through signs and push to activate Tirtiary weapon. Things like that. I suppose i'm just a novice when it comes to gaming and my keyboard and mouse skills are not that great yet. Just makes gaming a lot more fun and fluid when a ton of keys do not have to be manipulated to do the same thing that the mouse can do alone. Ah yes, And the E key to loot and interact with things was just brilliant.

Oh, alright. ^^ I fully understand what you mean now. And I share in your experience. I still remember, when i first got through witcher 1. And then started witcher 2. I suckked! Enormously! I couldn't deal with those keabindings. and the giant pile of different keyfunction. Witcher 1 was easy. Rest, shortcuts, silver and steel and the possible-interactions-key. Easy to remember and easy to use. then came witcher 2 and EVERYTHING was different...and more...and complicated. Thus i tried remapping my keyboard after witcher 1, failed and died a lot. I learned it in the end. Hell, i mastered dark mode even (not insane mode...imma not insane...XD) Witcher 3 then was almost the same but JUST different enough to get constantly confused at the most inopportune moments. Tried remapping like in witcher 2 and failed and died a lot again XD

Let's just say it takes a while to learn a game, but once you do you get through and despair at the next game cause you need to reroute your brain to learn the new game ^^o or something like that XD

Well, This is my solution. Just going to play witcher 3 and all the expansions to it. I'll leave Witcher 1 and 2 behind for those of the population that enjoy the frustration. Happy Hunting. Besides. The former two originally came out I played trhough them, died a lot in Witcher 2 i remember. Just thought i'd do a straight run through of them all. I just need to tell myself that I really dont need the run through that badly.

Massively cumbersome sounds about right. I absolutely loved The Witcher, but Witcher 2 is unplayable for me with the default control setup. There's some rudimentary keymapping, but that's not the point. The Witcher felt and played like a PC game, with nearly all functions accessible with the mouse alone. Witcher 2 feels like another dreadful console port, clumsily grafted onto the keyboard. It's horrible. I don't even like the "improved" graphics, which look fake and unnatural compared to the first game. However, I'd play it for the story if there was some way to mod the controls so you can use a mouse in the same way as The Witcher. Very disappointed with this step backward by the developers.

Just use a controller. Really, it's the only sane way to go. Never used a controller before, but Witcher 2 made me, since there was no way I could get MKB to work.
I pretty much hated it when I started, but by now I think Witcher 2 might actually be my favorite of the three. By which I mean, if you really want to, you should play it. The story is totally worth it.

Embarrassing prattle.

What an insightful reply!
I sure am glad you feel the need to share your wisdom with others.

This was nothing but a burp from the very, very far and shallow end of the gene pool. No offense intended: It was a description of facts when I told your statement "Embarrassing prattle".

I'm not so glad with your reply because I think that you are not sane enough to deliver an acceptable judgement. You are even to sheepish to recognize that your statement is an offence of the intelligence of players who are sane enough to succeed easily using KB&M. Si tacuisses...

And if you don't believe me, believe Ciri:

For someone who apparently thinks he is particularly smart, it is surprising to see hyperbole so utterly confounds you. Also, sheepish does not mean what you think it means.
This very thread is about people complaining about struggling with the controls of TW2, to the point they'd rather quit than bother with the awkwardness. I think that's a shame, and suggested using a controller, which is neither something reserved for people that suck at playing games nor something particularly out of the ordinary. In fact, controller-compatibility in a game is generally considered not a bug, but a feature.
Obviously, you're free to disagree, but I'd appreciate you doing so in a less trollish and ignorant fashion, and leave judging the state of my sanity to professionals. Much obliged.
(Feel free to go crazy, but I'll not reply again unless you have something worthwhile to say. Admittedly shouldn't have replied to you the first time, alas, I was weak.)

Oh là là! Wenn das mal kein Fehler ist. Ich lehne jede Verantwortung ab für Anfälle von Schnappatmung, nur weil du nicht mehr antworten kannst. Du kannst ja jetzt noch nicht einmal vorschützen, du hättest es nicht gelesen. Also: Schaun mer mal.

Eines haben wir gemeinsam: Auch ich bin entsetzt über dein Totalversagen. Es ist nie ratsam, Öl ins Feuer zu gießen, wenn du dich gerade erst als Kretin geoutet hast, besonders nicht, wenn du, WildHobgoblin, mit beiden Füßen in der Lache stehst. Statt mit ein paar bezaubernden Demutsgesten von deinem präpubertären Gefasel abzulenken, löckst du wider den Stachel. Nun ja: Lebenserfahrung ist nicht immer kostenlos.

Allein: Es ist ja nicht alles schlecht an deinem Post. Immerhin hast du bemerkt, dass ich ein klitzekleines bisschen smarter bin als du. Nun ja, freilich, dazu musste ich mich nicht verausgaben. Insofern ist das Kompliment nicht wirklich überwältigend. Ungefähr so, als würde Heini Hirntot vom BSC Klapse 04 Lionel Messi als den größeren Fußballer anerkennen.

Kommen wir aber zum Kern des Problems zurück. Ich sehe es mit kaum verhohlenem Brechreiz, wenn wieder und wieder KB&M-Ritter und Kontroller-Fundis sich ihre Spielgeräte um die Ohren schlagen. Das steht mir bis hier. [Max macht eine blitzartige schneidende Geste mit seiner rechten Hand in Halshöhe, als wolle er bei jedem einzelnen aus den besagten Lagern eine Dekapitation vornehmen.] Jeder, der nicht den ganz großen Hau hat, weiß doch, dass es sich um spezielle Vorlieben handelt, die ihre Ursachen in der persönlichen Spielergeschichte, in den individuellen Fähigkeiten etc. haben. Jeder, der nicht den ganz großen Hau hat. Aber genau dort liegt das Problem bei dir, nicht wahr, WildHobgoblin?

Insofern hast du mit deinem "Just use a controller. Really, it's the only sane way to go" dem Fass den Boden ins Gesicht geschlagen. Dümmer geht immer, waaas?

Aber all das sollte uns nicht davon abhalten, Freunde zu bleiben. Ich bin für Inklusion, auch wenn ich das nicht immer so raushängen lasse. [beiseite] Verstellen kann schmerzhaft sein.[/beiseite] Wenn du mir also einen Freundschaftsantrag stellst, werde ich dem stattgeben und dich täglich über meine Meinung auf dem Laufenden halten. Jetzt, wo du mir nicht mehr antworten kannst ...
