You can control it via mouse 100%, they simply give you more options.
You can always right click to command your party where to move, but you can also control a single characters movement with WASD. By default, your party will follow the character you are directly controlling (free movement), very useful when simply moving around and travelling. Pressing H, or the gold walking icon top left disables free movement, useful for ambushes and full positioning control in combat.
If you zoom out to tactical view and press H (disables free movement of party members), you will have the traditional Baldur's Gate control set you are familiar with.
Personally, I use the tactical view in combat, but go third person and WASD when exploring.
Hold down right click to control the camera. Rotates the camera in tactical, turns and "free look" in third person.
I couldn't be happier with the controls because they are very flexible and should cater to everyone in all situations.
Hope that helps.




No hiccups now that everything is up to date. And I love the game, big time ...... except for the control system. It's a touch confuzzling .... I thought it was mouse controlled 100%.
