Goodmongo: Let me be more specific. Take the arm wrestling QTE. The mouse is really laggy and I get the impression that this QTE was built for the gamepad where it most likely wouldn't be laggy.
Another is trying to cast a spell right after a left mouse click or a roll. I sometimes have to hit the Q button two three and four times before I cast the sign. I'm not sure if the is WAD or because of other issues.
jklinders: I think the arm wrestling was done that way by design. Otherwise it would be childishly easy. It's pretty easy for me as is. I can only imagine increased difficulty on an analogue stick but I suck with those which is one good reason I use mouse/keyboard. Have you tried adjusting mouse sensitivity?
I don't know if the lag in taking action after a roll is by design to increase difficulty and tactics or an error. In either case I doubt consoles have anything to do with it. I've played a lot of console ports in my time and never had similar issues.
I did adjust my mouse but then have to go back and adjust it back to where it was for the other parts of the game. What I ended up doing is keeping the mouse at the best setting for the game and turing off the difficult QTE option. It works for me but was a little disappointed in having to do it as I like the boxing QTE for some reason.
I would really like to see more and faster responses for the button smashes during fights. Hopefully 1.2 does something about it.
Thanks for the responses.
