mathaetaes: I just started re-playing D:OS2 with a controller. It's a bit annoying because you have to have the controller connected at game start (there's no way to switch between keyboard and controller mid-game), and some things (like crafting) are a bit tedious, but generally speaking controller support in DOS2 is surprisingly good.
Since BG3 is based on the D:OS2 engine, I have to believe it'll be offered. I haven't actually tried, though.
Has anyone tried starting BG3 with a controller connected?
It doesn't work. Larian made this statement two years ago:
"The PC version of Baldur's Gate 3 does not currently feature controller support. In a Steam community post, Larian Studios states that the game only works with keyboard and mouse controls on Steam at the moment".
The statement is from October 2020, so I boot up the game just now to see if anything changed. The game actually recognized I had a controller (
