How to fire missile weapons?

Post by Admose »

I've tried binding "swing weapon" to the mouse and several keyboard keys, but this does nothing when the bow is equipped. Only swinging a sword works. So, how do I fire missile weapons?

It's been a while since I've played any Battlespire, but I'm thinking... click one of the mouse buttons?

No such luck. Tried M1 and M2, the "use" or "activate" key, and I still can't fire any bow.

I'm running the GOG version of the game on a laptop with a touchpad.

If someone could just tell me the exact controls used to fire a missile weapon, I could find a workaround, but this information doesn't appear to be readily available. The UESP Battlespire:Controls page just lists swing weapon, also.

Solved: I'd mapped M2 to the player sheet to mimic my setup in Morrowind. I remapped this. M2 is the default to fire missile weapons and apparently cannot be remapped (though this is not mentioned anywhere). Hope this helps someone else.

Thanks, I've updated our controls page to take note.
