So I just purchased BG3 on Steam (will be playing on PC) and man, did I get a rude awakening as to the horrible camera/character movement controls!

Larian Dev's should be ashamed of themselves for having such a horrible scheme for camera/character movement, its convoluted and cumbersome and tiring!

I have played DOS and DOS II on a console in the past and I had no issues with camera or character movement but on PC or maybe this game its just BAD!

I mean, why cant they just use the WSAD keys for forward/back/left/right and the movement of the mouse itself for camera movement?

Push mouse left while holding the W key has the character moving left and the camera follows the character, move the mouse forward and you look up/pull back you look down (or you can reverse these as can be done on consoles) so simple but instead we get this convoluted system of middle mouse button to swing the camera, left mouse button and the Q and E keys, its just a pain i the A$$ to play, takes all the joy out of playing the game!

If you want to see what a easy smooth camera/character movement system should be like, spend $20 bucks on Steam and buy the MMO New World and play it for a few minutes to see whats its like to have a easy/simple system in place.

As it is now, after a while it really becomes just tiring to play the game with all the camera/character movement hoops that i have to jump through!

I really, really hope the devs read this message, b/c in 2023, no game should have such bad controls!

Regards
