so this is a thing that i found on this http://www.pcgamer.com/the-witcher-3-wild-hunt-gets-another-update/in the commend section the idea was brought to me by the user named shutit, i hope it helps you too, its a fix to the sensitivity on the left stcik:

 

Go to your Witcher 3 installation bin\config\platform\pc\ and open the file platformgameplay.ini and change the line

LeftStickSensitivity=0.7 to

LeftStickSensitivity=0.4 or 0.5, I prefer 0.4 as you have to push the analog stick all the way up to run.

 

if you want to learn more go check him out or give him a dm.

I actually play with keyboard and mouse just fine, don't know why you need a controller

Because some people like to use controllers maybe??? What kind of useless question is that xD

I can answer that

Because..

a) I prefer a controller over keyboard and mouse personally I've always found it more accurate.

b) I play on a sofa as I no longer have a desk, joys of having kids are they take up all your space.

c) When friends come round its easier to hand them a controller than a KB+M as that's what they are use to.

A- You're wrong. Verifiable and irrefutably wrong in fact: controllers are less accurate.

B- Fair enough

C- We're talking about a single player RPG so irrelevant.

A:subjective, I've used both though, all im going to say is it's more relaxing for me to play Witcher 3 with a controller.

C: what? Just because it's a rpg doesn't mean you cant hand over the controller and let them play the game.

If your sitting on a sofa playing and your friend is next to you wants to test it it's easier to hand a controller over than a kb+mouse.

Right:

A - "personally I've always found it more accurate." Regardless there's no way of proving whats more accurate as we are all going to be different and bias towards one or the other.

C - Calling peoples points irrelevant is the worst argument someone can do. I have a friend who's round for a few beers, I have a single player game I want to show him I'm going to hand him something to play with even if I preferred KB+M I'm going to give him his preferred choice.

No. You can get good at using the controller, so much so that you might be more accurate but that's like people who learn to play a piano with their feet: They are more skilled than average people who don't play piano but the hands are inherently more accurate and such hand players will always be that much better on average.

 

Consoles cheat by relying on autoaim and acceleration, but the mouse it's just more accurate you have more control over it by having a greater and more accurate range of movement.

Again "personally" it's because of the reasons quoted above which are use and console compensation. But this is not subjective: the range of motion on your thumb is just nowhere near as large or precise as your full arm: you just have more and larger muscles that control your arm than just your thumb. That makes things like using a mouse or a pen more accurate no matter how you slice it. Like I mention you CAN get used to doing something wrong because of force of habit, convenience, whatever the case might be but you're not a mutant with thumbs more accurate than arms.

C. The Witcher 3 is not the only game in the world and many people are using controllers on the couch and don't want to move to the desk for a single game. Controller users tend to use the controller for every game. 

 

I use a mouse and G13 myself but I find myself using the controller on TW3 because most of it is just like watching a movie and I like to play this game on my back.lol....

What are you on about? Why are you talking About consoles and controllers In general?

Don't change the subject!

I guess the word "subjective" was wrong, but rentaspoon covered what I meant. Each person have there own preferable tool for the job, what's superior is unrelated and This is not a discussion about what is superior to the other or what feature is there for compensation, why even bring pointless garbage like that up!?

Rentaspoon prefers to use a controller and in this case he find it to be more accurate for the job.

In my case it's more relaxing because I'm lazy. Witcher 3 is not exactly a competitive online game....

It's. That. Simple.

Saying one is wrong for having a preference is a dick move mate.

Obviously you've been told that so often you believe it.

The distance of the mouse moved from a to b can be affected by its sensitivity, as can a controller so i don't need to be able to move my thumb miles across the room and i can move my thumb in 8 degrees of motion which is all you need. The devices are different but the end result is the same, I could argue this for weeks.

You said you couldn't see why someone would want to use a controller so I gave you a personal answer.

The result is not the same, you don't have as much control over how much or how little you move your thumb proportionally vs your entire arm supported by your shoulder. We're done here.

Are we? I can move my thumb as fast or as slowly required but I don't need to as a stick works on increasing the value to 1% to 100%, 1% being the smallest amount my thumb needs to move to 100% the maximum. The difference from mouse is that a mouse you move to where it is needed and it mimics you unlike a controller where you guide it instead.

Who cares about a mouse in a console controller thread?

Seriously people.

ikr, it happens all the time :P

I'm still waiting for an answer whether this issue was present before the update or just after.
