Xpadder Optimal Controller Layout Design for Baldur's Gate - Play BG with a Controller

islandking

I don't know how many people would be interested in this, but I posed it anyway for those who're interested or find it interesting O__O"

1) What is this?
This is the Xpadder keymapping for Baldur's Gate Series, if you have a controller(preferable a Xbox360 controller) and Xpadder, you can use this layout to play Baldur's Gate with Controller.

2) What's Required?
The almighty Xpadder http://www.xpadder.com/
Controller (preferable a Xbox360 controller)

3) Install
Load both "All-In-One Optimal layout design for NVPN.xpadderprofile" and "My Controller (XBOX 360 For Windows).xpaddercontroller" into your Xpadder.
- Never mind the file name, as this file is based on the Controller Layout I designed for Project Nevada (Fallout New Vegas) on nexusmods ,if you need it here's the link

and Project Nevada

That's it, oh, do not forget that you can also add Rumble Feature if your controller supports it, enjoy your game!

Why the hell would I impede myself in game when the mouse gets the job done in a better way ?

thanks @islandking, ignore the haters. this is great for people who play on HTPC's in their living room.

That's pretty cool. I'm a bit curious, has anyone else tried this yet? I've never been a big fan of RTS play with a controller moving a cursor but BG has quite a different play style.

I would guess, then, that you are not the intended audience for this information. SHOCKER!

You do not have to bend your upper body forward or stretch your arms like you're using mouse and keyboard
If a keymapping can let controller do roughly the same function, then Controller is definitely more comfortable

What the heck kind of mouse/keyboard setup are you using if you have to do that?
