I was hoping the developers could shed some light on this.

How will Dreamfall control with a mouse and keyboard....the reason I ask is there have been almost no word on how mouse and keyboard controls feel from previous previews of Dreamfall that I've seen....even in all the previews of the PC version that I've read, the developers seem to have always demoed it on an Xbox 360 controller for Windows.

I have nothing wrong with this, however, I'll be buying the PC version and with PC games I usually prefer using mouse and keyboard as the interface.

So will it work with a WASD setup in conjuction to the Mouse....I guess similiar to how Beyond Good & Evil controlled on PC, or do you have another form of setup in mind.

Has one form of control, either mouse and keyboard or Xbox 360 controller, taken priority over the other during development.....or will it simply be a matter of user preference where both control schemes will feel comfortable depending on the user's preference.

I think, control in Dreamfall will be similar to that from Fahrenheit (Indigo Prophecy).

I hope not....Mouse and Keyboard controls in Fahrenheit were very poor, in fact, I'd say Fahrenheit was virtually unplayable on PC unless you had a gamepad.

I hope Dreamfall for PC isnt the same.

Well, I've played Fahrenheit (I.P.) with keyboard and mouse and it was okay. I can't compare it with playing with a gamepad, though, since I didn't play it that way.

I think it will be more like "The Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King" thing. I haven't played "Indigo Phropecy", so I've no idea how's that "look-n-feel" like, but the gameplay with mouse & keyboard in "LOTR: ROTK" was OK.

i really hope they haven't changed the interface too much... obviously with the changes they've made point-n-click isn't really an option anymore, but as long as there's a healthy amount of mouse usage in addition to WASD I think I'd be ok with it.

having read some of the spoilers that've leaked, I can honestly say that the controls will not be a problem*

*tho I take the liberty to be proven wrong :P
