I play using an xbox controller, and find that when a thrall is following me, I’m constantly accidentally ordering them to move when I’m trying to interact with/pick up something using the ‘x’ button.
I have a similar problem with mounts, in that I’m constantly mounting my horse when I just want to open its inventory, as I’m so in the habit of just pressing x to open chests, stations & everything else.
I had a look at how I could remap the controller, but couldn’t figure out a good way to avoid these two problems while keeping functionality. Could anyone please give me some advice on how to do so?
Don’t you have a keybind option for it? For us in PC it is empty by default and uses the pickup button but once we assign a key for it, it works with that key and doesn’t interfere with the pickup:
Yes, though I Ideally wanted it bound to the controller, otherwise I’m unlikely to use it in the heat of combat/out in the field. I only ever use my keyboard for crafting/inventory management basically. The problem is the controller has a limited number of buttons that are all serving important functions, and I couldn’t think of how to rearrange them satisfactorily.
I decided to give up my map shortcut, I can just use the keyboard for that and I shouldn’t miss it too much. That solves that problem.
But I still can’t figure out how to remap the mount button (there doesn’t seem to be the option?) so that I’m not accidentally mounting when I want to be opening the inventory. I would have thought my muscle memory should have readjusted after all these months, yet for some reason I can’t seem to shake the habit of very regularly accidentally mounted the horse with a quick press of x rather than holding it down.
If anyone knows how to rebind the mount button/separate it from ‘use’, please let me know…
I don’t think there is an option for that, at least not something available for consoles.
EDIT: I see now that you are tagged as PC, I was assuming you are playing on consoles. So if you do have access to the files (Input.ini), you can try changing the keybind in then you have an option for dismount:
\steamapps\common\Conan Exiles - Live\ConanSandbox\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor
ActionMappings=(ActionName=“Dismount”,Key=Gamepad_FaceButton_Top,bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False)
Isn’t the dismount command different to the mount command though?
Edit: Removed redundancy.
You are right, sorry. Let me check if there is anything about “mount”
@Robarbarian Unfortunately, I don’t see a separate option in the file for “mount”, so I guess it is not possible to change the “mount” keybind without it affecting other actions.
Oh well, thanks very much for being so helpful anyway Narelle.
I don’t know why I keep doing doing the mount thing. I guess I’m just so used to quickly pressing x to access stations and chests that I keep doing it to access my mounts inventory. Maybe one day my muscle memory will get the message lol.
Cheers.
You are not alone in that, happens to me all the time as well 
Maybe Funcom will notice and take pity on all of us by providing a separate mount keybind. I can’t imagine we’re alone in this.
