I would like to see an option added so I can control my character using WASD. I personally cannot stand using the mouse for my character movement.

I guess it could work for movement itself. But you realize that targeting in any way needs the mouse in this game right?

WASD is used to move the screen.....and it probably suits more people this way in combo with the mouse

Me i like to add Q and E to rotate my screen instead of using the mouse middle button...

I would like the mouse and WASD controls reversed so I can use WASD to control my character and the mouse for the camera like how other games do it. For me using the mouse to control my character feels too clunky and messes up my whole experience with the game.

I don't think that this is an issue, i mean direct-controls have to work for Gamepad as well. For certain Attacks/Spells there would be still an trageting system, but Movement-Itself, even in Combat, should be possible.

Also WSAD for Camera isn't an good Argument, due you can give the Camera-Controls also on the Arrows, and the Controlls are Changeable already as well so for People like us, who use WSAD for Camera, there shouldn't be an problem.

#Topic:
Good suggestion, i think it may be possible once Gamepad-Controlls are included. However i'm not sure if i personally would want to use that. I acutally dislike to play isometic Games like Divinity (or also Hack'N'Slay ala Diablo) with direct Controls on Mouse & Keyboard and would prefer to play Gamepad to begin with, if i want direct controlls.

However as an Option, "IF" it is possibly and easy to achieve(thats up to larian to decide that) - why not? I don't see to argue against more Control-Options...

You would also need a way to understand how many AP you're about to use to move where you want to move using your keyboard for movement....which doesn't seem to me to be intuitive...

I like how it is and obviously would reject this change request to be the default standard.
But to give you an option to change your keys and allow you to move with your keyboard...if it's doable and your not the only one requesting that.... I'm just not sure how many people would use that feature though
