Controller support

Does anyone have any word on if there will be full/partial controller support for the game once the console versions are nearing release? For me, this would be a great feature to implement for the game and would certainly make it a lot easier for me to play when I don't want to be at the mouse/keyboard 100% of the time. :-)

I know there are 3rd party program options such as Xpadder (or whatever it's called) and others that can be used to implement it, but I'm looking for "official" support in-game.

    I would love controller support, and maybe a special Cyrodiil campaign for people using a controller only, with no add-ons allowed (basically a console experience on PC)

    They already said yes they are working on it for a up and coming patch.

    Yes there will be.

    In the API of the PTS for Update 3 where a host of Controler Events, Native Voicechat related data. Nothing finished, but clear sings of work in progress.
    Somebody even dragged out the Prototype of the Controler UI:

    Coldblood Peterson (EU) Argonian Templer, Daggerfall, Healer
    Incendia Peterson (EU), Dominion, Dunmer Dragonknight, fire DPS & healer
    Haldor Belendor (EU), Ebonhart, Breton Sorcerer, Tank
    Fuliminictus Peterson (EU), Ebonhart, Altmer Sorcerer, Electric DPS

    Oh, actually the Control UI menus did make it into the release version. Just enter this slash command into the chat:
    /script SCENE_MANAGER:Show("playerMenu")

    Navigation is by inverted mouse wheel and E for Enter.

    Edit:
    So far only the Skill System and Inventory System part of it work. But those do work without a hitch.

    EA actually has a no questions asked return policy on the Origin store. Take it for what it's worth. I'm not standing up for EA by any means. They cancelled the college football series so I've condemned them. Still, a no questions asked return policy is fantastic.

    They only started that policy after the failed launch of SimCity last year when they gave everyone who bought it from launch a free game. They gave us a choice of 4 or 5 games and only one I really would have gotten but I already owned it on two different systems, so I ended up getting SimCity 4.
