I bought Broken Sword 1,2,and 3 from Steam . I quite happily pointed and clicked my way through 1 and2, and then,
to my dismay, discovered that 3 was keyboard driven. There is no way I can play it. Is B S 4 also keyboard? Also do I have to play 3 to have an idea what is going on in 4. Thank goodness I noticed that 5 has gone back to point and click.

According to MaG's walkthrough about Broken Sword 4: Game manipulations can be done using the mouse alone or by combination of mouse and keyboard. The movement of the characters can be controlled when the mouse wheel is enabled under the game settings. The mouse wheel forward makes the character run; mouse wheel backward returns to walk. If using the keyboard, the arrow keys will move the character to those directions. The left CTRL key will make the character run. I don't think it's strictly necessary to have played the third game in order to enjoy the fourth, but someone please tell me if I am giving you misinformation.

From my own experience and what I've read about Broken Sword 3, I don't think you're missing much. It was, to me, a disappointment (although I did manage to finish it) and not in keeping with the franchise. This is just my opinion but I believe it was shared by many.

Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.

Broken sword 3 was a real bugger to get through, but I loved it. I do however recall nearly giving up on it a few times. Ana

You don't need to play the third game in order to enjoy the fourth! Each of the 5 games has a different story. And the fourth game could be played with mouse only. Although for me Broken Sword 3 is better than 4
