    Thanks, st_sgibbs. I wonder, do you have any extra USB devices attached other than your mouse, keyboard and pad receiver? If so, can you remove anything unnecessary and try again? 

    Okay, I found a solution. I unplugged my keyboard before starting the game and I can confirm both controllers are able to work now. It appears that when digging into my devices manager list, I noticed that both my keyboard and controller was listed under installed game controllers list.  Just setting the xbox controllers as the preferred device didn't solve the issue. Clicking on the properties of the keyboard shows the following: 

    Device Type: Human Interface Devices

    Manufactor: Razer

    Location: Location 1 (Razer Joystick)

    This is the first game I've had trouble with my keyboard somehow causing the issue thinking I have a joystick plugged in when I don't even own one and it overrides the 360 and xbox one controller despite those being the preferred on HID compliant game controllers.

360 wireless controller with reciever. Works fine on other games.

DA:I gets stuck at "press start to continue". It's like the controller's dead, but it's fine.

So no controller support here at all.

Selecting controller just means I have to use Windows Task Manager to kill the game, edit the text file and restart the game to get kb&m back.

After lots of crashes and messing about with the game claiming I pulled out my graphics card (seriously what?!), I'm very disappointed that I now can't use my controller.

I just tweeted to Mark Darrah and apparently none of the Dev are away of the broken Gamepad support for some. Lol.
