I hate to admit it, but whether an RPG is controller friendly has more bearing on whether I'll finish it than how good it is.

I hate to admit it, but whether an RPG is controller friendly has more bearing on whether I'll finish it than how good it is. Sometimes I think I don't actually like RPGs, but looking back on it I actually just hate kbm controls. I gave up on wotr even though I enjoyed it a lot, because I was sick of my arms getting tired. But I beat Jade Empire in three consecutive marathon sessions because it was so comfortable to play.

      Thanks fren

      Arms getting tired from using kb+m? Are you the fattest mutt to roll the land or are you a stick with literally zero muscle mass?

      I do work out a little, though I'm not buff. But it's more than it's an unnatural position to be in. I have my laptop plugged into my TV, so I use a wireless kbm on a board across my lap. When I try to use my laptop at my desk, the rim of the desk is too low and I have to reach my arms up at a weird angle (it's actually a vanity, not a desk).
      But idk if changing these would fix it. I grew up with controllers, so I find kbm tiring on a psychological level as well, it's much less automatic for me. I can touch type and memorize shortcuts alright, but it feels draining on a five-six hour timescale in a way that controllers don't.

      Using mouse and keyboard. I play all my games on a computer, I don't have a console. Why would I be trolling? It's uncomfortable.

    That sounds entirely reasonable.
    There are games i should like in theory, but the controls are so clunky i just can't get over it.

    Happened to find an extra mousepad, so I'm gonna give this setup a shot. I doubt it'll fix it but maybe the little bumpy thing is all I need to make it enjoyable to use

    OP is in the right though. KB+M is uncomfortable for anything that isnt a shooter and I have ONLY ever been a PC gamer. I cant get into RTS genre at all because I just get too tired of it. its not a health question as I work out and am in shape. its just ergonomics. you might have a higher tolerance for bad ergo. but there are too many good games out there for me to play games that are physically uncomfortable to play

      Sometimes a bad habit or ergonomics can compromise your comfort.
      I used to control the mouse relying more on the arm than wrist. Combined with bad desk ergonomics this made me want to use the mouse less and less. I would map out controls to xpadder just to play with the controller because it was more comfortable.

      Fixing chair posture, switching to a mechanical keyboard, and relearning to use the mouse with a claw grip made PC gaming much more comfortable for me.

      The thing is, hands can get tired from either type of controls. Happened to me when playing on controller too much. At that point you just need to stop and get some exercise in to strengthen the upper body. The ergonomics like arm support, that is the most important though.

          You might have anemia or some sort of vitamin deficiency. Look up foods rich in iron like fish, oats, dairy, red meat, etc.
          Also, calisthenics to strengthen upper body. Push ups are the simplest to start out, but look into installing a pull up bar.

    Legitimately can't fathom wanting to play either of the Pathfinder games with a controller.
