AnonymousDoes anyone know how to use the highlight character (tilde on keyboard) on controller? Also is there a way to toggle melee/ranged weapon equipped on controller like there is by clicking those boxes on the kb/mouse UI?

Having dark grey text on a black background is a fantastic idea! Who needs to know what's this or that is for or how to use it. These devs are amazing.

Not being able to bind keys to the Custom action bar slots, and then filling slots with whatever suits the build for the selected toon, is just stupid and very 1990:s game design.
Sort of sad to have 120+ GB of amazing-looking game and lore being so crap to actually *interact* with. Clunky feel.

Note you can't change the keys to fit a foreign language keyboard! These Devs are so clever!

There's at least a quarter of these alleged keybind options my game is missing. Like a keybind for toggling light source (instead of manually having to press it every time I want to swap to my torch...). What am I missing here?
