Controls Issue

I am very sad because the problem with cursor does influence my play a lot. It turned out the mouse buttons don't work properly also during battles. However I can change that to keyboard buttons. But the fight controls were already keyboard buttons... However they were the worst keys I could choose, as I initially picked Z and X for fight controls, and my move controls were WSAD. So there was no physical possibility of leading a normal fight, as I also needed to use the mouse cursor for view control, and thus was in material need of a third hand. In fact a third hand of a tiny size. So during this gameplay I chose left and right mouse button for fight controls, and that didn't work out for me too well. The buttons did not answer on many occassions, which means that the game did not react to me pressing them. And I think – I think – that when Z and X were in control, the game did react every time; only problem was the layout of these keys, which were too close to WSAD buttons to use them normally. I will have to decide on fight controls therefore. But with mouse buttons badly operating, this may not be easy to solve, because I still need the mouse for view control, and I need WSAD for move control – so it is quite difficult to find a good solution for fight controls.

Obviously hence all my problems with fairy duels, which actually resulted in me laughing my head off at my own clumsiness. And I know in the future I will have to still put up with these problems until I find some solution to this controls issue. I will have to be testing other combinations. The mouse buttons didn't work during fights, and that was frustrating. But I decided not to give up, because surely some button layout may be physically ok, and without solving this issue, the gameplay will be all about me trying to make a living in Zanzarah despite a lack of fighting talent.

Spacebar and Alt may be good. I will try that next time.

I'll add that my computer is a laptop and I don't use a normal mouse but a touchpad.

Or perhaps Q for attack button will be ok. But Left Shift may be even better, with Spacebar for flying.
And incidentally, to make matters worse I forgot that I had Z and X input as fight controls, which additionally influenced my battles, and made me switch to mouse controls during play.

Anyway, I got to the Cottage, lost a fight with a difficult fairy living in a tree, and then won a fight against three chaos fairies, rescuing my scarecrow, who can now refill my mana. I still have only one fairy, and I need to get another one, and I was hoping to be attacked by a water fairy, but nobody attacked me even though I waded in water for long. So next time I will try to capture at least a worgot, as he is a very good nature fairy, and therefore good companion to my Sillia.

The first movie shows a black screen problem, because a black screen welcomed me when I loaded my game, and I think it may have been due to having the Xbox recording already on. So I turned it off, and put it on only after I entered the game. Which loaded normally when there was no camera on.
One more thing, a minor thing it is, but at the same time my first note it was when I started playing Zanzarah, that Amy moves too slowly. Her run is in fact a semi-fast walk. It is one of main reasons why the game seems to me a bit unexciting. Things generally happen a bit slow, and definitely a normal run in biology is faster than that.
