Or, are we having a way at all to customize key bindings for running BG3 on PC?

I assumed we did. So I went ahead today trying to add a new key binding, only to end up getting locked completely out of control of the game. The issue is: when I left click thinking I would be adding a new key binding, the game believes I am remapping the "left mouse button," which is actually already mapped to "Interact". Out of curiosity, I clicked "Yes" and immediately lost control of the whole game. As far as I can see, I cannot do anything with the game without the "left mouse button" being already mapped to "Interact". And I cannot add a new binding or modify an existing one without breaking the existing left mouse click action. Additionally, I have no idea why BG3 allows "Interact" to be mapped to nothing at all, thereby enabling players a most convenient way to lose all the means to "interact" with the game. Once you lose the default binding for the left mouse click/button, you also lose the option to "Reset" as this option assumes your left mouse button is still mapped to "Interact".

Nowadays, many games tend to have extremely intuitive, virtually foolproof key remapping interfaces - check out Far Cry 6, if you don't mind. BG3 is designed to run on PC using a keyboard/mouse combo, just like BG1 and BG2 and all related expansions. I really hope there is an easy, intuitive way to remap some of BG3's key bindings.

BTW, "Highlight characters" is mapped to something called "Grave" in BG3. I'm so confused: Where to find/dig this "Grave" in my gaming keyboard/mouse? Could anyone enlighten me on this please?

yea the key bindings really suck on this game. They should have modeled the keyboard/mouse bindings like most of the BLIZZARD games. Diablo, World of Warcraft etc.

It's usually to the left of "1"

Gameplay options? UI options? lol Of course not. This is Larian.


It just reminded me of the bowl of goat's milk that old Winthrop used to put outside his door every evening for the dust demons. He said the dust demons could never resist goat's milk, and that they would always drink themselves into a stupor and then be too tired to enter his room..

Hey did you ever find a solution for interact not being mapped? I'm going through that right now while I was fixing something else and I don't know what to do.

Solution?
Larian is still too busy with sex, romance, kissing related patch content than anything else...and frankly thats what everyone seems to want from this game.
