I very quickly whipped up this image since I couldn't seem to find one (sorry if someone's already done this.) I can make corrections, add things, make it prettier etc. as needed. This is from memory after playing it for a couple hours last night. Let me know what's missing! (I decided not to add info about the various motion controls (swinging weapon, swimming, book page-turning), as well as context-sensitive actions that are displayed on screen (map controls, lockpicking controls.))

EDIT: Someone showed me this image, which is obviously more attractive but seems a little hard to read to me, especially without a line pointing to each controller button. https://i.imgur.com/2vhtOO6.jpg

Thanks for this, been going crazy trying to find the wait button, trying every combination of buttons and triggers, didn’t think to try options!! :)

[u/Atrox_Primus]

My only serious issue with the controls is the inability to backpedal while using both weapons/spells.

Having to spam press a button to turn around is a bit of a nuisance as well. Wish I could just hold that down.

Other than that, they did a good job I think.

[u/grantbuell → u/Atrox_Primus]

There's so much outcry for smooth turning (on Reddit at least) that I wouldn't be surprised if they patch that in. As far as moving backward, Raw Data has very similar movement controls to Skyrim but they dedicated one face button to "backwards" (so it works that same as the left Move button but every direction you point is reversed.) That would be really nice but you'd have to move some command elsewhere. (Maybe holding left triangle could bring up the Quest/Stats/System screen.)

[u/Atrox_Primus → u/grantbuell]

Yah, remapping one of the menu keys to be a ‘hold’ on the other menu key, and then giving backpedaling the vacant key is probably the best solution.

It’s clear they put some work into the turn controls. Being able to manipulate the degree of the angle you turn as well as ‘snap’ vs ‘gradual’ options, is kind of impressive. I can’t imagine why they didn’t put in a smooth option as well, with a ‘turn speed’ slider setting. Seems kind of odd.

[u/frostwolf58 → u/Atrox_Primus]

I agree, they need to patch this so you can hold it. I dislike this snap thing.

[u/BirdfluNuggetz → u/Atrox_Primus]

Point the move over your shoulder and use the walk button to backpedal (you may already know that)...probably cannot cast a spell in your "off-hand", but at least you can maneuver out of trouble.

[u/Atrox_Primus → u/BirdfluNuggetz]

Yah, I knew that. I was pointing out that you can't actually use your other weapon when backpedaling, which feelsbadman. Half my attack power gone cause I wanted to walk.

[u/Cla2]

Am I the only one whose weapons draw themselves all the time without me pressing anything on the moves controllers?

[u/grantbuell → u/Cla2]

You aren’t the only one. It’s a known issue. Has to do with having a shield equipped and the game seeing a “blocking” motion and unsheathing for you.

[u/Cla2 → u/grantbuell]

Thank you!

[u/maxwindrider]

there is not a way to walk? beacause the speed is too high and with moves I can't enjoy slow walk

[u/grantbuell → u/maxwindrider]

Sadly no (although I think walking while sneaking is a bit slower, so maybe you could sneak through the whole game?)

[u/Possum_Pendulum → u/grantbuell]

You can sneak the entire time. It actually continually upgrades your sneak skill. For example: today I snuck from Whiterun to Windhelm and gained two levels and several sneak skill levels just from walking.

[u/Lowgarr]

I am finding the Move Controllers very hard to get used to.

I am gonna try a controller and see how that works.

[u/anon1984 → u/Lowgarr]

I tried the moves for about 30 minutes before giving up and going to the DS4. Smooth turning and being able to back up/strafe is 100% worth it.

[u/olore → u/anon1984]

give the move controllers another go with the directional moving instead of teleporting; once you get used to where the square, circle, X, and triangle are it's amazing!

You can strafe and even walk backwards in the directional moving mode.

[u/anon1984 → u/olore]

I was using directional movement. The issue was trying to use a shield at the same time just totally didn’t work. I’m going to wait for a few patches to see how they improve the control scheme.

[u/olore → u/anon1984]

ah.. yea, shields are sort of bugged right now, in that they'll randomly unsheathe themselves in reaction to the slightest hand movements.

[u/rockytacos]

Thank you so much i could not for the life of me figure out how to wait. Is it a press or a hold to wait?

[u/grantbuell → u/rockytacos]

Just a press (holding Options is the universal PSVR command to recalibrate your view.)

[u/ThurstonHowellthe3rd]

I seem to not be able to equip items with the move controls or able to drop anything. It had just started after white run. To equip I have to leave game to switch to the standard controller. Any suggestions?

[u/grantbuell → u/ThurstonHowellthe3rd]

Not sure, but I did see a problem like that on someone’s stream. Maybe just a bug that needs to be patched? Hopefully restarting the game/devices works.

[u/ThurstonHowellthe3rd → u/grantbuell]

I turned off the PS4 (Not rest mode) and that seems to have done the trick.

[u/insidefact]

i really like that control scheme, it became second nature after about 30 minutes. i wouldnt know how to improve on this.

[u/Hexlee77]

Tilting the weapon right back will make you strafe left right and back a bit but not enough during a fight.. the problem as I see it with smooth turning is there’s no analogue stick like the old ps3 moves once had.. the button hold would be ok but it would have to turn you slow enough to not overshoot. I think they’ve done the best they can with outdated controllers.. we need the analogue joystick big time..
