Much as the blooming a the crocuses signals the arrival a Spring, so too does the blooming a complaint-filled sea threads seem t' signal the arrival a a new Obsidian-developed game.
All this man wanted be proper mouse-'n-keyboard controls in Dungeon Siege III. Now, just look what he's been reduced t': A stock photograph a a man angry at a computer.In this case, the complaints pertain t' Dungeon Siege III, Obsidian's take on the classic dungeon crawling RPG series that saw release earlier this week. While the general response t' the game has been mostly decent, many PC players reported dissatisfaction with the PC version's mouse-'n-keyboard control scheme, which eschews many a the dungeon crawling genre standards t' the point where some purists deemed the situation untenable, 'n just picked up a gamepad (which, by all accounts, works far better).
Lead designer Nathan Chapman be apparently well aware a players' issues with the control scheme, 'n in talking t' Eurogamer this morning, explained that Obsidian plans t' update the control scheme in the near future t' something more traditional.
Actually this be one thing I would have liked t' have spent more time on, 'n we be actually spending time on now. Basically, I think as long as PC gamers have a good way t' control the combat they will enjoy it. One review - I can't remember which - said if ye play with a game pad the combat be great, so right now we be working on improving the PC controls through an update.
Though there's no immediate timetable for this update's release, it sounds like Obsidian be already hard at work on it. What say ye, Giant Bomb PC community? be ye looking forward t' a new mouse-'n-keyboard scheme? Or be ye okay with what be originally offered?
