maggie,

I agree 100% with the fellow boomers that recommend a keypad, I have the Cyber Snipa, I bought it for a different reason, however I can notice it doesn't require wrist movement like a normal keyboard.

I would also recommend a mouse with side buttons, that is 5 buttons in total that can be programmed for most games and should allow yo to play games that require more actions. These take some taxes away from the keyboard. Waking still would take the WSAD.

looney4labs,

I certainly do miss them. However The Witcher 2 comes with a very good almost 100 page manual smile

Thanks Mcc wave

Sig, I'm glad you found it. I keep telling myself that the designers do no hide buttons on purpose, and yes, I still believe in Santa Claus. rotfl

The game applied a new patch at launch and didn't freeze up on me during a replay of the first area, so hopefully that won't happen again. Also, I enabled its console to play in god mode, so I should be able to make it through this. The game's quite good, but you get mobbed, of course, and the few boss monsters in the first area give you trepidation of what's to come, and it always takes me a while to get familiar with the mechanics of a new game, and it is, after all, a chick and her ferret against all the evil hordes and hellspawn they can muster.

I've been playing the game for a while and still haven't figured out a small percentage of "how to's" but for the most part finally by hit and miss figured out the most important actions.

I submitted a question to Runic asking about a game manual and got this response:

Quote:
I do apologize for the delay in responding back to you.
Unfortunately we have no plans for a game manual for Torchlight II.
You may want to check out our forums to see if there maybe some information there that maybe all to assist you.
We do apologize for any inconvenience.
All the best,


There are a whole bunch of sarcastic remarks that come to mind but I'll just let this email speak for itself.

What--not even a readme file?


You laugh because I'm different
I laugh because you're all the same

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

Are we loving this game or what?

Isn't there even a how to folder or a quick start guide? In ME2 and ME3, there is little folder explaining 1) how to play the game and 2) what pressing each button means in terms of gameplay etc.

Isn't there a tutorial in game to show you how to play this game? In ME3's demo, I could just jump right in and the game would tell or show me how to play the game.

I haven't played Torchlight 2 but I've heard it is similar gamewise to the original. If it helps the original 57 page manual can be found HERE.

Thanks RayB wave

Sig, sometimes there is a manual or a tutorial on the disk. puppy

Uh...L4L, you combined my post with someone else's. Did they have the same avatar as me or what? The only comment I actually posted was the first line of that, and all I meant was that I'm loving it and wondered if others were too. Of course, I enabled the console so I could play it in god mode, but still... I think Runic doesn't feel a manual is necessary, since there's the "?" button that displays interface help, and tutorial tips that pop up now and then, and the gameplay tips that can be read whenever there's a load screen.
