I think he may be referring to mouse move which PS doesn\'t have yet

yes, you should put in an option where you can use your mouseball to go forward (or look up and down which is also useful).

I think that is a great idea

I would love to be able to turn side to side with the mouse. The best example I can think of would be Counter-Strike, you use your mouse to look around the arrows or the \"W,A,S,D\" to move forward, back, and side to side. Also I have a pretty old and dark monitor, so I would love to see a Gamma or a Brightness adjustment. The world looks great, but I noticed when I get back in some of the caves everything goes black and I have to just wonder around in every direction until I find my way to light.

W A S D already is like that  :)  I wouldnt mind having the mouse look on, and pressing the second mouse button to go forward, and just having to double click on an item.

Uhm, peeps, CS style mouse look is already in the game, just press \\ or # (or whatever key is just to the left of the enter key on your keyboard) to activate it. Press it again to deactivate.

?(  Ok, now I\'m confused... If you press # (or whatever) and you move your mouse left/right your character turns left/right, no? I don\'t get the difference you seem to be making between looking and turning, unless you\'re thinking of a mech warrior style torso twist...

Umm... If you press the *, /, # or whatever the button is called on your keyboard, while you\'re in first person view of your character, you can use W, A, S, D to move around, just like a first person shooter. So I can\'t really see what the problem is?

You mean that you want to move like in Morrowind?

Actually, it\'s not quite the same.  Instead of looking left or right when you move your mouse left or right, it turns the world sideways or upside down; something that is very difficult to do in real life. I don\'t have anything against this.
I like turning my head umop-ap!sdn.

Damn your eyes!  Don\'t try to get something so devilish as moving the sight with a mouse into the game.  Hellfiend!

Mouse + keyboard is still the best way to move. I don\'t want any \"tank-movement\". This is a computer-game, not a console-game! :)

Alright lets settle this PS does not have controls like a first Person Shooter this is what we want when we move our mouse left we want our character to turn left when we move a mouse right we want out character to move right when we move our mouse back (if yout inverted like me)  you want your character to look up when we push our mouse forward we want him to look down

and we want the keys WSAD to be W=walk forawrd
                                                        S=backpedal
                                                        A=Starfe left
                                                        D=strafe right

if this doesn\'t make any sense I\'ll make it easier for you RPG fokes we want our mouse to act like it does in Morrowind, Counter Strike, Half Life etc
