4 Expansions later and tab targeting is still bad.

They added an option a while ago that allows you to change the tab targeting behaviour.



By default it ignores the depth and yes, seemingly targets at random, but the other is a cone in the direction your camera (i think) is facing, meaning it'll cycle through closest to furthest as you might expect.



You also have this as an option too.

I've messed with all these options and it's still garbage. Stop defending a broken system.

As was said earlier in this thread, this can be done with gamepad via the interact/confirm button. It's also why having multiple player characters around an NPC isn't a problem as that button will also select the NPC.

Is there not an equivalent keybind for keyboard/mouse?

No, not that I know of. The only thing I can think of is the "scroll through targets nearest to farthest." And that's pretty janky especially in the middle of combat.

I don't even waste my time trying to tab target in this game

I mean, I'll certainly promote other systems where they're clearly better, but on this forum anything even vaguely reminiscent of "action combat" (i.e. having responsive, unbloated systems) will set the rabid masses on you.

I changed my option to tab the closest to me. Problem solved for me.

Oh trust me. I'd kick myself in the d**k if I ever suggest "action combat". The only games I ever liked action combat was Tera (banned from tera) and B&S but, that game got old quick.

One aspect in the entire game where controller wins over mouse and keyboard.

[Macleod]

No. I have to disagree. This is the only bad tab targeting I have ever used.

No. I have to disagree because you disagree ...and mostly because I'm sure I've played way more of these type of games than you, and for a longer amount of time. Otherwise, you'd know they all have tab targetting issues in one way or another.

Mouse wheel scanning is hardly difficult, either...
