As awkward as it was, I could not find a custom control assignment (and they do let you reassign anything) that worked for me better than the default. My biggest complaint is with the controls with so many functions available the "default" option uses a terribly unconventional method of Arrows + Mouse, with other important controls clustered around the right side of the keyboad + numpad. I started out that way, but the allure of the various lethal options (plus the unsympathetic nature of the enemies as the plot went on) had me laying out bad gays with grim satisfaction. All characters can "punch" instead of their "melee kill" option, and most can tie up KO'd foes to carry them to hiding places. It is possible to go non-lethal, which is particularly challenging.

The game wants you to succeed, but it doesn't pull punches: enemies have overlapping fields of vision and patrols, and your task is always to figure out how to untangle the web of killzones to slip your characters to the next objective.

You don't have full camera control, which is fine because you can easily highlight every enemy and object permanently at the touch of a button. The levels are in full 3d and can be rotated and zoomed.
More often than not, you'll be saving/loading to jockey your characters into the sightlines they need while staying out of enemy vision cones, or when you accidentally make a little too much noise and forget about the guy on the rooftop who sees much farther than you'd think they would. When you line up the perfect moment and it all gets pulled off flawlessly, you'll feel great. "You toss the exploding bag to distract that guard, while you throw a knife at this other guy while the first is facing the other way, and you run over and tie up the guard who just got knocked out and toss his body down the well before anyone turns around, then run for that bush." It becomes a murderous football plan from John Madden's more violent dreams: You'll quite frequently slam the "Showdown" button to pause the action and assign your characters to do their things all at once, because enemies will not hesitate to call for backup the moment anything is amiss and you'll need to handle a number of challenges in the same instant. Pausing to coordinate your actions is key, which is also why this wouldn't work as a multiplayer game. (Seriously, the quicksave/quickload functions are pointed out to be used liberally, because you will screw up over and over and over again and need to jump back in time to when your characters didn't misbehave in the middle of a complicated move order.) In doing so, you will be employing their special skills and dodging from cover to cover, hiding bodies in bushes as you go along and mashing the quicksave key like it fed you morphine. The plot (and it is entirely a campaign-driven game here, no MP) involves a handful of heroes from different walks of life fighting back against the predatory DeVitt railroad company. Desperados III is a character-based RTS, but before you scream "HotS, LoL" and run off, this is far more of a stealth puzzler than an action game. Did you ever play Commandos back in the day? Well, Desperados is Commandos with cowboys, right down to the character archetypes.
