One question about keyboard+mouse controls
One simple question, but it's a deal breaker for me! Will Mass Effect Legendary Edition have separate keybinding for sprinting, cover and use? Like Mass Effect 1 and Andromeda. And not that godawfu...
Forum Discussion
I believe they said they're unifying the controls across all three games, but I don't know what that means with regards to keybindings.
In ME2 and ME3 squad commands were set to Q and E (on a WASD keyboard), and they said ME1 will adopt this system. On top of that, they also said that melee attack will be be a separate key in ME1 just like it was in ME2 and ME3. If 'F' remains the 'first aid' key, and 'R' the grenade key, I can't imagine there being a separate 'use' key. I also fear that everything will be mapped to the space bar, but that's all speculation.
If it were up to me, first aid in ME1 would be merged with 'unity', so it would end up on the quick bar. In that case, F could be the 'use' key, shift the 'sprint' key, and space the 'pause' key across all three games.
Edit: I just realized I forgot about the melee key four sentences after I brought it up. If F is melee, then that's not a good sign for a 'use' key.
- @Fred_vdp Based on what you just said that sounds veeeeery bad for poor findels chances of getting seperate keybindings unless they just changed the defaults to match me2/3 and then added more options to change.
Yes, that's exactly my concern and problem! It doesn't matter what keys they put what commands to. I can change them all as I like.
Problem is One Key = One Function/Action and not One Key = Multiple Functions/Actions.
Well, we'll just have to wait and see. So, definitely no preorder for me; but maybe they share more info in three remaining months!
And just a suggestion for developers if anyone from EA and/or BioWare reads this forums!
Why not use the keybindings from Mass Effect Andromeda. It had the best keybindings of any ME game, IMHO.
So Sprint is Left Shift, Crouch is Left Control, Use/Interact is E, Tactical Pause is Space, and Squad Controls are Y, X and C, for Left Companion, Both Companions and Right Companion, respectively.
Melee is F, Reload is R, Grenade is G and since there is no scanner in ME:LE you can put Cover in either Q, V, or T or even middle mouse button.
What ever you do please don't go down the road of Batman: Arkham games, where you have three or maybe more actions on one button. I couldn't play these games for more then a few minutes because of that!
Cheers!
