Plus a decent chunk of pc players will have been using a controller as well. Personally, I was shocked to have to mod the trilogy for controller support on pc. Strange omission for a game that started as a console exclusive. Then again, I never did get the "only keyboard and mouse is real pc gaming" mentality. Right tool for the job and all. For me, that's a controller for third person, mouse for first person. Other people might think keyboard and mouse are superior for their own reasons but for me it's keyboard and mouse simply because I prefer the list-like UI design PC versions usually have and can't steer with a mouse (or at least with those that have you look with one stick and walk with another), hand-to-eye co-ordination (I believe that's what it's called in English?) have never been a strong suit. If I had to use a controller I would probably give up gaming, the frustration of a controller would take away most enjoyment I got from the game. Even if I was better at it I would still prefer keyboard+mouse because it "feels" better. It's a matter of individual preference. i personally game with both KB+mouse and a controller, sometimes switching them out back and fort while playing a game. if a game requires some sort of precision movement then it's KB+mouse all the way. if it's a sports or a driving game then controllers are just superior in that case. but high end mechanical KBs are getting better at emulating the 6 axis controller movement, so yey for technology.

Well, I'm a KBM user. I had a controller, but I broke it. Thanks Street Fighter IV! Plus, I feel like the only correct use for a controller is fighting games. If this game is the same as DAI's walking through mud/molasses/three feet of snow, then I'm not gonna be able to play it.
If I have to wait for two seconds to turn around an then get going in the direction that I previously pushed the button for, this game is gonna be shit. Might be fun to play through once on story only mode, but other than that? Fuck that. Exploration? Fuck that. Having to explore to get the best ending? Fuck a whole bunch'a that bullshit. Anything having to do with MP? Fuck that. And guess what? All this shit adds up, too.
In other words, I play the game for the story, not all the other stuff. But all the other stuff is what makes the game fun. It was fine in DA:I, but DAI wasn't a shooter.
I'm going to hope for the best but prep for the worst.
EDIT : I do want to apologize, as I'm sick right now with a sinus infection. The main theme of my post comes through abundantly clear, it didn't need to be as harsh sounding as it did.

If i am not wrong more than half of ME3 players were on Xbox360, then there was the PC and a few on PS3 and Wii U. Plus a decent chunk of pc players will have been using a controller as well. Personally, I was shocked to have to mod the trilogy for controller support on pc. Strange omission for a game that started as a console exclusive. Then again, I never did get the "only keyboard and mouse is real pc gaming" mentality. Right tool for the job and all. For me, that's a controller for third person, mouse for first person. For me, it's basically down to whether or not a game has a lot of shooting. If it does, I'll almost always go keyboard + mouse, just 'cause I very much prefer the way it feels to aim with a mouse. There are exceptions to this rule - in, say, Tomb Raider, I go controller 'cause it's better for all the climbing and jumping - but I mostly stick to it. I hate playing GTA games with a controller, for example; I've never enjoyed Rockstar's approach to aiming and shooting with analogue sticks--it never feels right. Whereas, with a mouse, it actually feels pretty good, and it's way easier to, say, shoot and drive a car at the same time. (Their kb+m flying controls are terrible, though, so I keep my old flight stick hooked up for whenever I get in a helicopter/plane.) I'll almost certainly be playing Andromeda with keyboard and mouse, unless they've added a bunch of climbing mechanics - not just the jetpack - or a proper melee combat system.

I prefer KB+m because it's all I've ever used and I'm old a cranky and refuse to change.

For fun (and because I wanted to be better with one), I've been using a controller on the PC this year. I haven't really played much with a controller since the original X-Box days, just dabbling now and again with friends. First playthrough was with DAI, which handles the game well as there is no precise, real-time targeting to worry about. I do like the walk/jog/run transition with the controller. The camera has better control, also zooming in and out, and certain UI elements are better on the KB&M though. Now I'm playing ME3 and it took hours before I (re-)learned to shoot semi-straight with a controller. You are way too zoomed in on this game though, and Shep blots out so much of the screen in combat it's really tough to target enemies in melee range (and, of course, I'm playing a Vanguard, so...). Here is where I really miss the speed and precision of KB&M. I've played driving games with a controller before and I agree, that's one area where controllers really shine.

I can play with a controller set-up but I prefer keyboard and mouse almost always. I absolutely do not like to play shooters with a controller: I especially don't like aiming with one. That's just me, though. It's good people will have the option to use a controller for PC if they want to.

I play with keyboard+mouse simply because i like to have 20+ buttons to use if necessary. Also aiming with a mouse is much more precise than with a controller.

I find turning the camera with a controller excruciatingly slow in 3d games, so I find it only works well in platformers and the like.

Shooting=mouse and keyboard. Sure you can have your preference, but the mouse is superior. Even when playing casual single player games I choose to use the best option.

If the KB+M controllers will be shoehorned like in DA:I I will be royally pissed. For me, as I spent alot of time in Unreal Tournament, for shooters KB+M is the only way. If they screw this up, oh well... Especially when FB3 is an unmoddable piece of trash.

If they screw this up, oh well... Especially when FB3 is an unmoddable piece of trash. sigh. thought we were done with correcting people on the modability of the the Frostbyte 3 engine. sure it's not an open engine as the Gamebryo engine, but it's not unmoddable by any means. we fine folks at DAImodding and the folks of CheatEngine are a testament to that. Don't get me wrong, I love you all. But I'm so happy it's Monday so we can get back to tweets and stop talking about Keyboard and Mouse. that was my hope but then the US presidential debate happened and everyone's twitter feeds have been nothing but #debate. this might last for a few days i'm afraid.

Yeah, Dragon Age: Inquisition has built up a nice collection of mods and I remain rather certain that we'll see mods for Mass Effect: Andromeda.
