How do you control the player character ?
You either left click on a location or hold down your left mouse button to move the player character. If you hold down your left mouse button the player character will walk in the direction you are pointing, and automatically negotiate obstacles. Depending on how far the mouse cursor is from the player character, the player character will either run or walk.
How do you attack ?
You left click on the enemy once. There’s btw no need to keep on clicking like a madman once you clicked on your enemy, just once is enough.
Is there a combat mode and a non-combat mode ?
Yes. And it’s relatively important too. If you talk to someone holding your sword in front of his nose, that might cause a different reaction than when you keep your sword hidden.
Are there hotkeys and can I assign them myself ?
Yes. You can easily assign different keys to different actions.
How do I use a skill ?
You select your active skill from your skill menu, and then right click to use it.
Can I move objects ?
Yes you can. By holding your left mouse button over them and dragging them, you can move objects which lie in the world.
Can I move everything ?
If it doesn’t weigh too much, or if it’s not stuck to something, yes.
Can I use objects ?
Yes, you just left click on them. Depending on what the object is, something will happen. You can for instance extinguish torches, or open cupboards.
Can I combine two objects together ?
Yes, you can. You just drag one object over another object, and if there’s an object combination possible, the two objects will combine to form a new one. And there are really a lot of object combinations in Divinity.
Can I break objects ?
While we do not promote vandalism, it’s possible, yes. You are responsible for the consequences however.
Is there an automap ?
Two actually. One in-game minimap for a quick overview of your current whereabouts, and one big fullscreen automap for planning your journeys on.
Can I put markers on the automap and enter my own notes?
Yes.
Are there teleporters for quick travelling ?
Yes – they exist in many forms.
Is there a quest log ?
Yes – it is located in your diary, a book which contains all kinds of information and which is automatically updated as you progress through the story.
What else is in this diary?
Besides the large automap and the questlog, you’ll find a history of all the conversation you’ve had, a detailed description of yourself and a log of all the creatures you’ve encountered together with notes about them.
So what happens if I buy Divinity, make a copy of it and give that copy to my friend ?
Your friend’s computer blows up, and you’ll have to explain it.
