Is this game (I Never had time to test beta so I dont know jack about it)
Possible to play with mouse only, I mean for fights and magic casting etc etc.
Since Im physicaly disabled and only got 1 arm left ,thats vital for me that it can be played by mouse only.

Thanks in advance

Actually you can but you'll have use mouse look (obviously) and use both buttons to move forward and spin by going left to right. Should be possible.

it seems to me you can nearly do everything with mouse only.
Moving, turning, actions... need to click the right buttons on the screen.
Even accessing windows is possible through mouse, not as fast as keyboard shortcuts but you can open them (i found my ingame guild forum with my mouse...)

For fighting actions, just double click your main attack, and keep your mouse clicker on the special attacks and click them when you want

So looks like keyboard is only here for shortcuts, and if keys are a shortcut, it means there's a regular way using your mouse to get everything you need.

You can do everything with the mouse (including movements, the 2nd post is wrong).

But you will be at a disadvantage compared to someone who can use keyboard shortcuts, too. While everything can be done with the mouse it's not always the most effective way to do it with it..

/edit Exept... Correct me if I am wrong, but I think you can cancel an action only with a keyboard command.

Personally I use the mouse to move around (I'm hopeless with the cursor keys, being right-handed it just feels wrong, imo) with the keyboard shortcuts. As with all layouts, just takes a while to learn.

If you hit "K" you can change the key settings to what is comfortable for you.

This was the very first thing I did. The game feels much more natural when every action is right there at my fingertips.
