Did you pick one of the origin characters? The free-form "origin" character The Dark Urge? A totally custom character?

And what class are you picking and excited about?

Never played any of the previous Baldur's Gate games, despite being a PC gamer since the early 90s. I don't know how, but there you have it.

I'm playing a Githraki Sorcerer. I'm really enjoying it so far.

My only issue is that I'm having trouble getting used to the movement and camera controls. Other than some time on the original NWN games back in the day, I've only been playing Diablo games and FPS for decades, so I don't know if I'm missing something or if I'm just too accustomed to those types of controls. Or I'm just getting too old. 😁

I am old. Playing with a controller is way easier. You move the character and the camera follows you.
I didn't like the keyboard/mouse curser click character move and having to move the camera to him.

You can have the camera move automatically by double clicking the character portrait or pressing the home key

More than half the time when I press the home key, the camera zooms in on my character but facing the front of my character which is almost never what I want.

How is that easier?

Mouse and keyboard is smooth as silk and controls resemble all other crpg's
