There is another one on the forums for this game but I tested it and it wasn't so good, at least for me. So, I made this one and figured to share.

Button Configuration:

D-Pad Up (Mouse Wheel up) -Zoom In
D-Pad Down (Mouse Wheel Down) -Zoom Out
D-Pad Left (4) -Quick Slot 4
D-Pad Right (3) -Quick Slot 3

A-Button (Spacebar) -Jump
B-Button (C) -Character Sheet
X-Button (M) -Map
Y-Button (I) -Inventory

L-Joystick (Mapped to WSAD) -Character movement
L-Joystick-Button (Left Shift) -Walk
R-Joystick (Mapped to Mouse) -Character look
R-Joystick-Button (Not Mapped)


Start-Button (Esc) -Game Menu
Back-Button (L) -Journal

L-Trigger (Mouse-Button-2) -Block
R-Trigger (Mouse-Button-1) -Action
L-Shoulder (1) -Weapon-Set-1
R-Shoulder (2) -Weapon-Set-2


Note: I haven't played the game more then a hour, but this just felt a lot more comfortable. If after playing for awhile I find something even better, or closer to a console feel, I will up date the PIN and upload it.

Note: Quick slots 3-4 I tend to use for health potions or the like.
Here's some profiles I just finished doing, since I decided to check this game out on sale with steam. Ps3 and Xbox configs here, even though I only use the ps3. I'm still lookin out for you Xboxers. :P
Pics for layouts and profiles attached.
1st pic is the PS3 layout:
2nd is the Xbox layout:

EDIT: Oops ps3 config was a double press for show quickbar, changed it to a hold like it should of been. Xbox config was fine.
I just made this profile for Risen, I did not used the Xbox 360 game manual mapping but instead used what works for me using other games from the same genre as an example (Fable, Oblivion, Fallout).

It can use some tweaking but it works.


*Edit: And yet another update

*Edit: Just updated it, made some noobs mistakes (yes, this is my first profile)
