I really want to start playing Daggerfall but immediately I've ran into the issue of the control configuration being an insurmountable hurdle (I haven't even left the room you start the game in yet).
I'm playing on a laptop and already the command configuration is a non-starter, 'look up' and 'look down' are, respectively controlled by the "insert" and "delete" keys (above the backspace key, pic related). I played around for over 10 minutes and I just know that there is no way I could get to further quests with such a janky setup.
My question is two-fold.. 1) is there a keyboard configuration I could use to make my laptop (pic related) feel somewhat playable for Daggerfall?and 2) I have a USB N64 Controller and I have a USB Gamecube controller.. but I don't think either of those have enough buttons to fully assign every function of Daggerfall to a specific button or whatever - I'm all-in for playing this game so if I have to buy an Xbox controller or w/e. Googling has failed me so far so I'm here asking youse lot

Welcome on /vst/ - Video Games/Strategy. Presumably, you were looking for >>>/vr/ or perhaps >>>/vrpg/

I thought this post might be appropriate for this board but thank you for nudging me towards the right board

>>2076197 (OP)
if all else fails you could remap your keyboard and use scroll lock to switch between bindings

/vrpg/ is probably the board you want, unfortunately.

On a general level, it is weird how /vrpg/ rapidly became and remains such a massive shithole while /vst/ maintains a relatively high baseline of quality. What's the reason?

Unironically, because the barrier of entry to strategy games is higher than RPGs. Yes you can have clever RPGs, but most of the shit they discuss on /vrpg/ is jRPGs (which are about as deep as a puddle) and RPGMaker slop. Very rarely will they talk about actual quality cRPGs with good plot/mechanics.

play daggerfall unity

RPGs became more and more accessible to the lowest denominator and mass markets, while strategy games remain extremely niche. Paradox games are probably the most mainstream strategy games, but they're nowhere near as well-known as games like Skyrim, Fallout, or Dragon Age.
