Hey, Just about to buy this game and wondering if this is a game where its beneficial to play with a controller or should I stick with my pc? Any suggestions or opinions are appreciated. Thanks.

Try both and see what you like more. It works pretty well with both, but the menus are a chore with a gamepad.

I tried both. Prefer keyboard & mouse much better. 

The menus going in and out of the game are EVER so slightly on a pad, but everything else just feels better on a gamepad. Plus, the looting is supremely faster on a gamepad, you can just press A to loot everything, whereas on a mouse you have to scroll to 'loot all' and press it. Sounds trivial, but makes a big difference to the experience.

Played for like 5 minutes and ordered a wired 360 that same night. Hope it pays off cause I like what that game brings to the table.

I normally play with mouse and keyboard but in the quick look they said about controller so i was wondering what the general opinion was, looks like its pretty evenly split. 

@McDom: Actually, you can quick loot with the keyboard by pressing space. I actually discovered that by looking at one of the threads here, but it was a bit too late.

This may have changed from the first game but you could also just hold ctrl when you loot and you won't even have to do that, it'll simply autoloot.

I prefer keyboard but I mostly prefer keyboard except for games where it is literally impossible to play without gamepad.

I bought this today and I have to agree with Ryan on the QL that the controller feels better, especially during combat.

Keyboard and mouse work fine for me.

Some things feel fine with the controllers, i just dont like navigating menus and inventory with it. So i'm sticking with keyboard and mouse.

Plugged in my 360 controller when I realized I was gonna have to roll around like Demon's Souls.

Haven't looked back since.

Haven't tried it with my 360 controller because KBM has been great for me (after some ini tweaks, it has to be said [I'm an arrow key guy]). 

I much prefer K&M, combat looks far more elaborate when I do.

I like the gamepad.

I would normally say gamepad trumps keyboard in most games I play on pc, but from what I experienced, the game seemed to flow better with K&M. I did notice a few graphical hickups when testing the gamepad (anyone else?). Unwillingly I changed to keyboard and mouse, found that to be pretty much the only way to play this. 

Mouse+Keyboard, tried controller but didn't feel as good.

Can you use gamepad for combat then switch to mouse and keyboard for inventory management and talking to people in town?
