WASD seems to be broken. If WASD is meant to be used as a controller then one hand (most likely left) is for character movement while the other (right) is meant for attack combinations. If your primarily a left handed person can probably just switch what each hand does
The problem is having one hand do character movement and attack combination while the other has to "aim" the camera angle using the mouse and 2 buttons to use weapon attack and talk/loot. If only one hand would use the WASD and my right use lets say "hjkl;" keys and "nm.,/" keys I'd probably have no problem. However that hand is "wasted" on the mouse limiting me to 2 buttons instead of 10 keys.

tab qwer ty uiop[]
caps asdfg hjkl;'
shift zxcvbnm,./
The spaces are meant to help align the letters up.
Using the wasd keys isn't my problem, it is when I move to use keys around them that I get messed up and my hand will shift to far back to them or not far enough and instead of going straight, I end up using another skill by accidentally pressing the q or e key. This is the best I can explain my dilemma. I'm used to playing using far more simple controls.
To be honest, I'm getting by using passive skills instead of the aggressive skills. Closest thing that works is using the tab, caps and shift keys. But my pinky finger feels fatigued after a while, and I don't care how good a game is. I'm not gonna risk causing myself damage over it, I'll do without before causing myself any kind of injury. Thus why I'm not using the wasd method as of now.
A musician once ignored finger fatigue, he was primarily a pianist. Sadly I forget his name, but remember the story. He used weights so try and strengthen his fingers so he could play faster and ended up tearing the tendons apart in them. I forget if he recovered, music history class from 10 years ago, glad I remember that much!
The good thing is this game has battles broken up by dealing with NPC's wandering in the wilderness so it doesn't get old and I've been forgetting how much I hate combat in this game, which of course is a major plus! lol.
