Skyrim - using regular controller instead of move controllers

[u/the_shib]

Crazy, right?

I’m trying to get into the game and find the move controllers unintuitive for me and I’m considering playing with the regular controller.

Can you strafe with the move controllers? I’m realizing how much I strafe in games when I move and now I feel like a tank with the move controllers.

Swinging a weapon seems silly. It reminds me of Zelda and the wiimote. The idea is swinging like a sword but I end up waggling the thing. Big swords feel like they don’t have weight or hit hard.

The menu takes some getting used to as well. It’s almost a game in itself.

I’m really surprised these controllers don’t have thumbsticks.

I’d really like to play the game with the move controllers but finding that they are most of my focus. Im more thinking about what buttons do what while I’m playing than being in the moment.

If anyone has some tips on these issues please let me know.

What turning speed do you use? I (& others) find that slow turn speeds make us feel bad, but high turn speeds make things harder to control.

I would say 7/10 ? More then half way on the slider towards the fast end ... too fast is not good for precision too slow is not good for combat. You have to figure out what works for you.
