The Witcher

[Voodooman]

I tried all 3 profiles available here and no one suited my taste and was not intuitive, also no one of profile offered me all features of game so i can forget about mouse and keyboard.

Thats why i spent 2 days to make profile that will include all features of game and will be very intuitive.
But i would like to say thx to author of all 3 profiles (sorry dont remember the names) i used one them as start point and it saved me a lot of time since almost all single command was already added and i was able to start directly to add double commands.

Most valuable features of this profile:

+All Signs and potions bound to 8 separate D-pad buttons for quick access

+Since Dialogs have up to 8 answers and allow quick answers by pressing 1-8 buttons same d-pad buttons can be used in dialogs do quick reply without moving mouse cursor

+Witcher fight styles mapped to 3 separate buttons to quickly change the style

+All 5 weapon slots bound to separate button, you can use Steel and Silver weapon button also to cycle Witcher fight styles or to cycle weapons

+Cycling of all 5 panels with 1 button with ability to exit any of these panels by holding same button

+Quick access to 4 panels with shift button

+Quick save while you keep moving

+CTRL shift to separate items in inventory

+Intuitive mapping of buttons, easy to guess and even more easy to remember

In case if you use non 360 controller, Pinnacle should automaticly assign buttons according to your gamepad so controls would be:
(Logitech RumblePad 2)
A=2 B=3 Y=4 X=1
LB=5 RB=6 LT=7 RT=8
BACK=9 START=10
LS=11 RS=12

Cool! Thanks for sharing!

Seems like you put a lot of effort into this profile. since I never finish The Witcher I will save this.

Thank you.

[Voodooman]

Thx for positive opinion) yeah i played 2 nights while was testing various combinations of buttons to find best possible one.
Actually i did not finished this profile, i just wanted to share it as fast as i can to get some feedback.
Since i have a lot of gamepads i wanted to add also non 360 controller profile (which require minor tweaking and tesing) also i had plans to mod UI textures of Witcher to put some Gamepad buttons indicators, to let it feel really native. But unfortunately i havent had yet time to look where the textures stored, how to extract them and mod.
But anyway im glad that i totally dont need mouse and keyboard to play withcer now, thats very rare case for RPGs, where in many cases you still need mouse and keyb for extra features.
The only reason why i still not finished Witcher is mouse and keyboard, im so lazy to sit in front of table and use mouse in games so i usually can drop game without controller.
But now i will finally finish Witcher without moving my arse from sofa))
Also i would probably try to do Dragon age origins profile same way... this is also RPG i abandoned due of mouse controls.

Btw Rob, it would be nice if you will put it as official witcher profile)

Yeah, thanks for sharing. It was indeed my witcher profile you used as a start point. I couldn't finish it because the game just would not run on my sorry pc lol. So I'm glad you could make good use of it & finish it better than I was able to.

Many thanks it's exactly what I was looking for.

[Truefist]

thanks, i have the game installed but haven't played it.. fortunately i came across this thread first..

[horns456]

Marking this for later. The wife is out of town, will be playing your profile in my boxers until the wee hours of the morning. Thanks.

[Voodooman]

lol, wee hours?))
this week ill do the same, and will try to finish witcher, finally (trying to complete this game 2nd year already, still in a middle of the game)

[lordfrikk]

Hey, I have the same problem! It seems I'm never gonna finish this game, but the good thing is I keep coming back to try yet another time I'll check out your profile to see if it's suitable to play through the whole game with it.
