Dungeon Siege III Keybinding Patch Comes Next Week

The guys at Obsidian Entertainment took the chance to use their brand new blog to announce some details about the upcoming patch, which should add customizable keybindings, one absent feature for which the PC version of the title received heavy criticism. The patch is promised to come out “within the next week” on Steam.

With Dungeon Siege III’˜s release across the world, we’ve been very busy reading what everyone’s saying and we’re listening! Two of the most talked about features folks have wanted for the PC version are coming within the next week in a free Steam update:

Keybinding: Don’t like some or all of the default key controls in DS3? Fear not! With the new keybinding tab in the Options menu, you’ll be able to remap the controls to however you prefer them. Each control option has two bindable keys, so if you like having one function controlled by two different keys, that is available as well. (As an example, some people might like having both W and Up Arrow as options to move forward.)

Move Left and Right: In addition, we’ve added two new controls that will allow you to move left or right (think strafing.) For example, if you’d rather have A and D on your keyboard move your character left and right respectively instead of rotate the camera, you’ll now be able to set that as well.

Even though Dungeon Siege III has shipped, we’re not done! There’s still a lot planned on the horizon stay tuned!
