📋 About This Mod
Here is a simple mod I made that slightly revamps the exploration controls (such as swimming, horses, boats, etc) in Witcher 3 for gamepad users. I feel that having the A button for sprint/canter is a a really bad design choice, it does not
This mod simply changes a few of the exploration controls to more reasonable buttons which allow for more precise and free movement. This controller layout will allow you to do things such as look around and control the horse using the right-analog stick, especially useful while sprinting. This change has also been applied to boats (R2 to sail, double tap & hold to sail faster). To see all of the changes made to the controls, please take a look at the uploaded images or read the full list of changes below:
Note: All sections are optional and can be installed separately.
Swimming Sprint/Swim Faster: Right Trigger/R2 Dive: X/SQUARE Surface: Y/TRIANGLE Grab ledge/boat: Press/Tap L3 (Left stick)
Horseback Sprint/Canter: Right Trigger/R2 Jump: A Axii Sign: Y (You can use X for horseback combat, the sword moves are the same with both X and Y.)
Boats Sail: Right Trigger/R2 (Double-tap to increase speed)
Exploration Jump: Press/Tap L3 Call Roach: Double-tap R3 Ignite/Extinguish: Hold A
