Hi there,

So I've just started playing The Witcher and the controls seem very strange to me. I'm using the iso view and for some reason the "a" and "d" or left and right keys always strafe rather then turn. So, for example, if I wanted to run down a hall and turn a corner I would have to hold down "w" to move forward and then the middle mouse button and turn the camera to turn the corner. Reading up on the controls apparently this is how it's supposed to work in combat mode, ie always strafe, however it say's it should revert to "turn" when in non-combat mode, which makes much more sense, however it doesn't do this for me. Is there something I'm missing? Is this just how the game is supposed to behave?

I found switching to OTS (Over The Shoulder) camera view much better for playing this game, and much easier to control the movements. I believe it's F2 and F3 that switches the camera-modes. Try OTS mode (I think that's F3), you may prefer it and find it a lot easier to control, I know I did.
