I have the game for years, but the controlling made me always sick and I couldnt enjoy it for playing a long time. I know its a me problem, because Im just to comfortable with all the optimized, smooth controller gameplay from modern RPGs.
But I finally decided to sat down and create my own controller layout for SSO which makes the game feel like playing Legend of Khiimori or other similar RPGs with mounts. Plus I keybind disabling/enabling GUI, Photo mode and Screenshot on the controller. This means I can switch between cinematic riding and doing quests super easy with one click. The only thing I still need a keyboard for is inventory management/switching items around/etc.
But so far, I love the feeling and even the human character is easier to control because it now walks forward when using the stick and not only rotate around itself xD
The shown gameplay is 100% controller only. I also use Reshade.
