Overview
DISCLAMER I don’t take any credit for this, I just want to share this solution with the Steam community. Source (https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/186470-tutorial-how-to-activate-your-wasd-keys-for-keyboard-movement/)
Steps:
– First, go into where your bioware gamefiles are stored in your documents folder. It’s at C:Users”username”DocumentsBioWareDragon AgeSettings (“username” being whichever you are logged in as when you enter a password at the windows bootup
– Look for a file named ‘KeyBindings.ini’ this is the file that controls your keyboard shortcuts/commands
– Now once you’ve got this file open in notepad, scroll down to where you find this batch of code, it’s located down towards the very bottom of the page
RunCharacterForward_1=Keyboard::Button_W
RunCharacterForward_0=(UNASSIGNED)
RunCharacterBackward_1=Keyboard::Button_S
RunCharacterBackward_0=(UNASSIGNED)
RunCharacterLeft_1=Keyboard::Button_Q
RunCharacterLeft_0=(UNASSIGNED)
RunCharacterRight_1=Keyboard::Button_E
RunCharacterRight_0=(UNASSIGNED)
ToggleRunWalk_0=Keyboard::Button_Divide
ToggleRunWalk_1=(UNASSIGNED)
MoveCameraLeft_0=Keyboard::Button_A
MoveCameraLeft_1=Shift + Keyboard::Button_A
MoveCameraRight_0=Keyboard::Button_D
MoveCameraRight_1=Shift + Keyboard::Button_D
– Fix it like this
RunCharacterForward_0=Keyboard::Button_W
RunCharacterForward_1=(UNASSIGNED)
RunCharacterBackward_0=Keyboard::Button_S
RunCharacterBackward_1=(UNASSIGNED)
RunCharacterLeft_0=Keyboard::Button_A
RunCharacterLeft_1=(UNASSIGNED)
RunCharacterRight_0=Keyboard::Button_D
RunCharacterRight_1=(UNASSIGNED)
ToggleRunWalk_0=Keyboard::Button_Divide
ToggleRunWalk_1=(UNASSIGNED)
MoveCameraLeft_0=Keyboard::Button_Q
MoveCameraLeft_1=Shift + Keyboard::Button_Q
MoveCameraRight_0=Keyboard::Button_E
MoveCameraRight_1=Shift + Keyboard::Button_D
TLDR: if you hate that while you are moving your character with WASD the camera rotates, now you can move your character with WASD and your camera with Q (left) and E (right).
Hope it helps someone, have fun!
