Everything in this game is so exhausting because of bad controls.

Discussion

Everything is so overwhelmingly exhausting in this game because the buttons are so an-intuitive and behind multiple buttons. The game has soooo much potential and is somewhat fun even with all the retardness it has, but still. (I am still a noob btw) But for example when I have to go and repair my melee weapon, which is have to do every other minute i feel like, i first have to get out of my power armor, which is sometimes super frustraiting, then go to repair bench, press T to inspect/repair, then press R to "workbench repair" and then space to confirm. Like what the actual f.... I hope I am just a retard and there is a fast button to repair all favourite weapons or smth, because this is just one example of the things that are draining the entertainment out of me while playing the game.

I always knew that eventually there would be a post complaining about having to push buttons in this game.

But yet if they didnt have things in place to confirm that the game is doing specifically what you want, you would post a complaint saying that this game needs to verify your intentions.

No, I would most definitely not complain about such things. Maybe when it comes down to expensive items crafting, but I am not going to need a "confirmation" when im about to exit a fucking cooking station :DDDD

Don't understand how pressing three things is exhausting......

it becomes exhausting at the point when you have to confirm every single thing in the game with 3 buttons that are different, interacting and all actions take very long compared to other games. Every time I come back to this game after playing other games, I feel like i need 2 extra hands to do the most simple things in the game. Like I stated in the post. So, "pressing 3 things" is not exhausting, if you don't understand what I mean, then I can't help you and you can't help me.

Just wait until you're cashing in 400 level ups into perks then into perk coins and then into legendary perks, oh the joy

I have to disagree somewhat. I think the build menu is a mess and needs to be completely revamped but overall the game controls are fine.

i first have to get out of my power armor, which is sometimes super frustraiting, then go to repair bench, press T to inspect/repair, then press R to "workbench repair" and then space to confirm. Like what the actual f.

I'm not sure why that's so difficult, tapping the T key and then R key,

Wow. 3 buttons that are clearly labeled.

This is absolutely consistent with the rest of the franchise as it has gotten more complex. I'm going to guess you come from a PC MMO background, where you can hotkey everything and you have dozens of remap possibilities. Fallout games are made to play exactly the same no matter what platform they are on, so the game is limited to the numbe of buttons on a gamepad controller. That's why certain actions are hard-coded to be on the same button.

Yeah I have played multiple MMO's, but I have also completed fallout 3, 4 and new vegas multiple times, yet this is still extraordinarily chaotic.

The controls are almost exactly the same as FO4.

The workshop gets easier don’t worry, but yes it’s not the best, rebind the things you do want to be better

Just wait till you have to scrap like one thousand adamantium skeleton cards to rank up your legendary perks.

Have you ever tried watching movies? Typically you just have to push one button to get a movie started, then it entertains you without needing further input from you.

But what if you need to turn the volume up or down? The horror!
