Gothic 2 combat control

I'm doing it, but it is beyond clumbsy. Anybody got a suggestion
as to how to use it best ? I put forward on both W and mouse2,
and I try to reach the Lcntrl key to lock on and attack, but it is
very awkward to then reach the attack keys. Instead I see that
mouse2 becomes and attack key instead of a move forward
key ... and also the attack on mouse2 generates a single step
forward. Not bad, but not use to it either. Parry is worse than
useless to me, and I find it best to release the keys and run
forward with mouse2 until I can pivot with Q or E and come
back. I figure if I can get use to this joke of a setup, I can
eventually load Gothic 1 and really lower my IQ.

I also tried moving combat activation to the CAPS key.
That it easier to reach, but it may create a problem with
run / walk. Maybe I can move run /walk to X .. which seems
to do that, but is only a temporary toggle ???

I can't believe you're still trying to use that retarded control scheme. All
of us real gamers use a direct neural impulse controller. You can look for
the discussion about it on Valve's forums.
