Speaking of which, the user interface has been 'completely overhauled'. The only feature that hasn't carried over from PC is secondary weapon sets, 'because there was no way we could find that didn't feel horrible in inventory management'. Overall, combat is said to feel 'faster' and 'more manoeuvrable'. Ranged combat is 'in many ways easier', thanks to auto-targeting and more comfortable dodging, and 'Lobbed' skills are handled by the analog triggers - a light squeeze throws near, a heavy squeeze throws far.
