Hello and I have installed Inquisition and booted up, tried to use my Xbox One gamepad and wasn't getting a response. Tried altering settings to "Gamepad" and now unfortunately not only do I not have a gamepad response, but I can't change the setting back to keyboard + mouse. Doh. Tried reinstalling gamepad drivers, no dice. Working fine in several other Steam games.

If you are locked out of the start menu, go to Users\user\Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age Inquisition\SaveDelete the preferences files there. Still doesn't fix gamepad support but will let you play w/ M&KB.

PC Version Inquisition compatibility with Xbox one controller

And to make my previous statement more clear - this leaves the player stuck sitting at the "Start" screen with nothing else to do.
Is there even have any option to reset preferences to default somewhere?

Aha - you can at least go to - Users\user\Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age Inquisition\Save - and delete the preferences file there.
Still doesn't fix gamepad support which apparently is broken for PC...yay

Thank you for posting this, I have the same exact problem! I've been trying to figure out which file to alter to remove Game Pad in order to be able to at least play the game.

Pretty sure the only gamepad the game offically supportes is the Xbox 360 controller for windows. NOT Xbox One. I'm not sure if the console 360 controller will work or not, but it might.

xbox 360 controller does not work. Way to go EA...you managed to mess up a simple task yet again. Not even an option to reset to default so that you can play with a keyboard...WTF

Are you using the console controller or the one made for windows?

Hey, I'm just testing this on my end and it's been working fine. Did you get the drivers from the MajorNelson Blog? Be sure to restart the game after the driver install. Also, please try plugging out any unused USB devices, in case that is a factor.

I am using the drivers straight from microsoft, I can try those out real quick though.

Yes I am using the x64 version of these drivers...do I need to be using the x86 instead?
Haven't had a problem with any other games...
