Mouse works in main menu but not in-game

Hi there,

Just bought Fallout 4 on Steam today and launched the game, super hyped to play it.

However I'm having a strange problem where the keyboard works fine but the mouse is working for a few things while not for another, like moving the PC for instance, which is a bummer.

I usually play with mouse and keyboard and I have a Wacom Intuos 3 tablet which I use for both pen and mouse imput. I've used it to play other Fallout games before without any issue.

When I start a new Fallout 4 game and get to the character creation part the mouse works fine for just about everything except selecting which parts of the face I wish to change, which it is unable to do. I'm also unable to rotate the character's head while doing so. If I then proceed into the game proper I'm unable to use the mouse to move my character. I can still move it with the keyboard keys but the mouse is unresponsive. If I then load a save the mouse does work in the loading screen and I'm able to rotate the item being displayed there, however as soon as the loading finishes and the game starts the mouse becomes unresponsive.

So basically the mouse works fine when using the main menu and other aspects of the interface but as soon as the game starts it goes kaput.

I don't have a controller attached to my PC and I've tried disabling the controller in the settings menu, with no effect.
Can anyone help? Has anyone experienced a similar issue? It's a drag since it makes it impossible to play the game.
