upvote if you agree, and comment if you see ways for further improvement. so to start I would like to ask a question, what are the controls for pc? I only played on console so I have no knowledge of control layout for computer players.. on consoles though I’d like to see this option upon launch, or shortly there after. LB and RB now cycle left and right, respectively, through your weapon inventory. much the same as fortnite adopted just a short time ago. X and A buttons remain the same, interact/jump, respectively. now Y and B would open up the radial menus when held down. the left joystick would navigate the radials and the LT would be the new “more” option toggle. releasing Y or B would exit the radial options menu and tapping Y or B then would bring up your last selected item. that’s it, simple as that! the objective of this layout would be to provide a smoother experience for controller players. allowing for more precise interaction with their pirates in hectic situations. cycling through weapons is a nightmare as it stands now, and will result in frustration..
an alternative control layout
@boaton The good news is that key binding is coming to both PC and Xbox so you may be able to customise all of this to you hearts content!

@musicmee if that’s the truth, then my post may be a moot point. In the past though I’ve seen companies allow the remapping function with certain limitations. meaning X would be forever intrinsically linked to the “more” toggle and “interact/reload”; and radials could not be linked to face buttons. do you agree that my idea solves the issues I presented?

@shadowstrider-7 why the sadface?
I was quite content with both the controller and keyboard layouts. Adding Keybinds/Remapping, will allow easier access of items/weapons and require less 'navigational' skill of your controlling device. Essentially - 'Easy mode on'
That's just my opinion.
@shadowstrider-7 easy mode?!? because folks having better control without wasted actions and time? i think having radials on the LB and RB and only cycling through your weapon inventory linearly with Y is just the worst... do you see my point?
@boaton realize this may be against the code; but i’d really like this thread to not disappear in a sea of posts in less than a day.. if any developer could chime in this could become a very constructive topic, much appreciated🙃
