I use both, but I'd estimate I use drive mode more often (which I've bound to my mouse!), so I voted for that.

I soly use Click to walk. I like to type, to keep up the rp whilst moving, and I find that utterly impossible to manage whlst using WASD. In fact, it's why my elf characters tend to dash around the place, I'm really awful when it comes to using anything otherthan click to walk. Sorry.

Yeah, I hate WASD movement in NWN so hard. It was implemented terribly. Constantly getting hung up on invisible barriers that don't exist if you just click on the other side doesn't help. Click to walk only unless the pathing is just so terrible I have no other choice.

I use both methods equally. If it's easier to move via mouse, I'll click. Otherwise, WASD. The mouse is, as I see it, absolutely vital since it is the only way you can get your character through transitions without actually triggering them. You cannot do that with WASD.

So, you know how sometimes characters get up out of their chair and dash across the room?

Yeah.

That's what Lily looks like at those times.

I do hope that click to move would remain as it were, for People who use it though. You can't do the nooby Stath shuffle without WASD.

Wait!...You mean the Wiimote is NOT a valid form of input? No wonder I've been having trouble!

No worries though, I'll just plug in my Kinect.

QW just looks like such a jolly jaunt. I imagine a person with ruddy cheeks and a big smile QWing along to Queen's "Seaside Rendezvous".

Oh, I completely misunderstood the thread's title. How do you walk?

Well, like this of course:

Mostly WASD as by clicks I got stucked often... I only use cliks with ALT to perform the slow walk in cities and or RPing while walking (and speaking/emoting)

Voted WASD as the most used.

Also, By using WASD you keep your mouse hand free to select things like scrolls, wands or potions to use in a tight situation.

I almost exclusively click to walk while holding shift. I do use the keyboard for minor adjustments during RP (which has become second nature xD) like turning, side stepping, stepping back and so on.
