As a PC player, I actually started this game because my nephew recommended it to me. While the game is actually pretty good and I can tolerate the point and click in combat, if I had to point and click for the whole game, I would have refunded it on day one. Especially with how brain dead some of the pathing can be at times.
Those PC mods actually got them a purchase of the game from a player who would have given up before it even started otherwise. Even now, if the Keyboard and Mouse mods broke, I doubt I would have the resolve to keep playing.
I guess it's all comes down to preference, myself I've played nothing but PoE for the past decade, so it suits me really well!
I don't even own the game on console (nor I plan to) but I'm completely sympathetic to this request. If a console was all I had as an option, I'd pray to get mouse and keyboard support as well.
I wouldn't play a game in this genre (party-based, top down view, tactical combat) with a controller if I was paid to do it.
Point and click is the most natural and intuitive way to interact with this type of gameplay. People who inherently dislike it "because reasons" strike me as borderline mental.
Personally I got it on ps5 because I thought it'd be awesome to play on a HDR OLED TV, which undoubtedly is the case.. But knowing I got the shorter end of the stick because of *reasons* just feels bad man. Reading all these critical posts in the forums speaks volumes as to how Larian really are as a company. They're being praised in the public for making a good game, sure thing but they can't even reply to these threads? No moderator / developer activity on here?? What is this... Rest assured I'm not buying a Larian title again.
