The Bard’s Tale Guide

Xbox controller binds for The Bard's Tale

Xbox controller binds

Overview

So you don’t have to figure them by trial and error.

Introduction

Devs hasn’t bothered to add proper on-screen prompts to this game or actual xinput controller support, so you have to figure it out by yourself. While all configuration is straight-forward, the game uses GUI that relies on physical position of buttons and that’s the tricky one to find out.
I made this guide basically for myself, so I don’t have to remember.
If you find this usefull, feel free to say hi.
