Can you not turn those things off in the "interface" section in the settings menu?Originally Posted by OurJud Go to original post
'Fraid not. Not sure if it's something the programmers forgot to include, but I have my Interface set to 'All off' and the controls remain there.Originally Posted by Markaccus Go to original post
The only shred of hope is the fact that I had to do the fishing as a side mission. Not tried it in free roam yet, but I fully expect the controls to pop up as soon as I equip my rod.
Yeap, mine broke yesterday for the first time, better leaving line when it´s getting orange.Originally Posted by Munktor Go to original post
I´ve no button controls on screen when fishing, on pc. You´re playing on console?Originally Posted by Markaccus Go to original post
Don't know about the poster you quoted, but yes I'm on console (ps4) and the button controls remain. At least they did during the side mission which required me to fish. Not tried fishing in free-roam but I don't expect it to be any different.Originally Posted by popsilie1960 Go to original post
It's a real shame they neglected this in the HUD options, because as one of the more peaceful-seeking gamers it was one of the pastimes I was looking for to after liberation. Yes I can still do it, but the button controls kill the immersion for me.
As for the fishing itself, I'd have liked it to reflect real life a little more. Fish are far FAR too easy to catch in this game, and this fact kills the sense of a peaceful hour's fishing on the lake. That said, I think the catch can be forcibly prolonged by not reeling in, as I don't think the fish bite until you do.
