Change active character and switch weapon sets with keyboard

[vidarfreyr]

Is there a way to comfortably change weapon sets with keyboard only? My problem is that when pressing 'x' only the active characters weapon set is switched between I and II. When I use the 1,2,3,4 buttons to switch between characters, the 'x' button does not follow, it will still only change the weapon set of the last character that was chosen via GUI. Now the only way to change which character the 'x' button is affecting is by clicking on either portrait or health/energy bar of desired character that you want to switch sets with 'x' button. This kinda makes pressing the 'x' button redundant in most cases since I could just as well press the I or II buttons directly on the GUI. Surely this must be an error. Or am I missing something? It would be handy anyways to be able to switch between weapon sets of different characters with, say, F1,F2,F3 and F4.

Also how do I take an in game screenshot? If I press 'print screen' and paste in paint all I get is black. Thanks

yeah, no help on the controls. game is just too clicky.

otoh, I figured out you can only take screenshots if the game is in windowed mode.

change to "borderless" in the options menu for stretched full screen window with no borders (essentially full screen). then you can take a screenshot.

Have you tried taking a steam screenshot?

Anyway, you don't need to click the portrait, hovering mouse over the character and pressing x works just fine. Sure, it's not much of an improvement but it's one less click, and your mouse is pretty much hovered over your party during combat anyway.

It won't solve the character switching issue, but I've moved the weapon swap to the ( ~ ) key since it's a lot easier to hit when your fingers are on the WASD and 1234 buttons otherwise. You might find a different one is easier to use though.

i actually changed the entire setup to be movement keys:

ESDF for direction, and AG for turning. make W weapon switching is then an easy reach.

even still, I got tired of swapping weapons for a single hit at range, and just had my alchemist and mage do all the ranged damage, and left my melee guys to spend time charging up a good melee attack instead of plinking away with an arrow for one round.

felt more natural in most situations.

I'll have to try that out. Sounds like it should be a little better than clicking, cause chances are you're next move is gonna be right clicking on the weapon slots to make an attack or drink potion. So this should speed things up a little.
