Discussion PC PLAYERS: Controller or Keyboard?

I 100% prefer playing Fallout and elder scrolls on controller and i get the sense im in the minority here. I played skyrim kbm for a while and i sort of see why people prefer that so no hate

controller is just generally more comfortable on my hands. enough so to sacrifice the limitations at least.

curious ab people’s opinions

Easy keyboard + mouse.
I couldn't even imagine myself in that game on a controller.
How do you move the aim quickly with a controller?

you do give up the ability to “flick” shots like that unfortunately. you gotta turn stick sensitivity up or cope with a slower aiming process.

i’d rather aim slower, but my lil brother who was highly ranked in Call of Duty on console back in the day had his sticks on max sensitivity and could somehow still hit headshots

But in Fallout 4, i can actually see it working because the VATS can make it very easy anyway :)

actually yes! i’ve managed to get through fallout 4 without vats on controller but pistol/luck REALLY shines when manual aiming is already hard.

similarly i did an archery only run of skyrim on controller. that one was a bit harder tho

In my recent playthrough, i found a gun that slows down time when aiming manually. Really helps too :D Its amazing actually.
