She seemed to do pretty well with targeting though, which I did not expect. The offset would be she might stop paying attention to the actual people on the screen. Maybe clicking would force her to evaluate which skill to use everytime. I do remind her she has other skills that might work better than others depending on the situation, but so far that has only led to mashing a different button repeatedly. I have her playing commando since I thought that would be easiest to learn the game on, but right now it seems to be a lot of mashing one button (which unfortunately works just fine on Ord Mantell with 250% experience, even if it's Hammer Shot). I wonder if clicking on everything might be a decent option for now though. We tried in "inaugural" run using the arrow keys which seemed to be OK. Good luck with that and tell me if you actually figured it outĮdit: forgot to mention, you NEED to bind quickbar switching, she will need it later on. So yea, sorry if I made it confusing or if this wasn't helpful at all, but that is the best thing I could've come up with. But I wouldn't recommend doing Operations without a mouse, the friendly targeting binds are only 4 and you would need 8 for that.
That is all I could think of to make the game as simple as possible using only the keyboard, actually, I have been testing this layout right after I read your post in an Uprising (which is the most fast paced mode imo) and I had no trouble playing a tank and healer (they usually are required to constantly watch their cooldowns and switch targets more often than dps classes). If it comes to targeting, the Tab is sufficient to target enemies, but if she plans to play healer, she will need to bind zxcv to target group members 1234. Well, you could make her use the arrows for movement, strafe is not that important in this game, but yea, the shift+arrow could work for strafe, as for the abilities, you could just bind them to the alphabetical keyboard, they don't always have to be on the numbers (example qwert for 1-5 and asdfg for 6-10), you could use the numerical keyboard (the one to the right of the arrows) for other commands, like zoom in (=5) zoom out (=2). In the meantime I'm hoping that someone else has done something similar and help me out. I fully understand that the final outcome may be to force her to adapt.
I think her experience may be in some kind of Tomb Raider game, probably a game that is 12 years old or more at this point. However, her background is much less dense. The bulk of my gaming background is from Guild Wars 1 (and a host of games I played using the same key setup), so a variant on WASD while using the mouse with my right hand is very natural to me. The biggest concern is keybinding and setup. I am excited for that, but I'm concerned that if she doesn't pick up the game quickly, she'll get frustrated and stop playing soon after she starts. My fiancée wants to start playing with me soon.
