    I only play inverted. As it is right now, it is unplayable.

    Really good question. I need to invert my mouse, too.

    Adding another thumbs up to having an inverted mouse option. IMHO, this needs to be a per-character option, not a system-wide (or cloud-based per-account) setting. I have an extremely hard time playing without the mouse inverted, my kids can't play at all with it inverted ... so when I play Portal 2, I often find that my kids have changed the mouse setting, and vice-versa.

    That is a good idea.

    I agree 100%, there definitely needs to be an invert mouse option. Also a mouse look option would be nice too rather than having to use the keys.

    Not a bug report, moving to general discussion.

    Leaving an option to invert the mouse is a bug in my mind. Think for a second - how many 3D games don't have this option.

    I'm with ROKinkaid - I can't test this game. Saddest alt-F4 ever.

    Like I said in my other post, if they hypothetically never add the option, I would have to write off my investment and forgo the game, that's how critical it is. Our brains are just wired differently. For us, in terms of "looking" (which is completely different from the 2D UI), mouse-up is pitching our head forward...to look down. I know those who grew up playing the other way think we are insane and should just suck it up, but if they try to play our way, they would be just as incapacitated!

    I think it stems from growing up with joysticks and a preponderance of flight games pre-first person shooter. :)

    Agreed on all fronts - it's a dealbreaker.

    I agree with your assessment regarding Flight Sims too - been playing flight sims since JET.

    I just wanted to add my voice to the bug report about the mouse-look being "inverted". We need an option to change it back to the proper control method. :)

    As someone who uses inverted mouse look for all of my games, it was pretty disorienting trying to move around without it!

    I uninstall any game that doesn't come with an inverted mouse options, been playing that way since my Amiga days...

    Release two. Still no invert mouse option.

    This baffles me.

    It is annoying but I'm guessing it is pretty low priority compared to other things. I'm pretty sure they won't omit the option for too long. I suspect it'll be in there for R4 when you need to fight things because the lack of it then will be even more frustrating if not.

    I understand priorities, but given the principal of us investors testing and providing feedback along the way....it makes it almost impossible for us to do so. This is a fundamental control feature...even just for walking around and testing!

    And again, any of you out there who think "its not that big a deal", I challenge you to go into another FPS like game of your choice and set the mouse opposite to what you are used and I guarantee after 5....no...2 minutes you will give up!

    I can handle it both ways. Probably because I played so many games that were set to one or the other. I prefer not inverted mouse though. Inverted is for flight-simulators ;)

    Yes, you will see more options open up with every release. As far as I'm aware binding keys is supposed to be in R3 but still no mention on changing the mouse or changing camera movement options but that might be all tied into rebinding keys.

    Inverted isn't just for flight simulators. =P It's simply more natural because it is closer to RL where you pitch your head forward to look down and back to look up. Unless you're hanging upside down.

    Agreed, this should have been in from the first release.

    They're aiming to get rebindable keys in for R3 but I also hope they're also putting in options for mouse configuration, like invert, sensitivity.
