good morning Marian, i have not played Dreamfall in years so i forget. using the PC, how do i move the characters around and what's with this focus field? robert. From MaG's walkthrough, here is how you move around in the game, as well as how other controls work: To move, use the directional arrows or the WASD keys. Press-hold the shift key to walk. Press-hold ctrl key to sneak. Inventory is accessed by the tab key. Press the m key for the mobile that has the e-mail, the dialogues and notes to self. For the focus band, the q key is for the next focus and e key is the previous focus. The pause key pauses the game. l key is for light attack, k key is for heavy attack and the space bar is for blocking. Right click to open the game focus band to check out things in a location. The character cannot move during this time. Right click again to toggle it off. I recommend checking out the walkthrough, which can be found here.

The pause key pauses the game. l key is for light attack, k key is for heavy attack and the space bar is for blocking. As I recall, the keys can also be reassigned to suit the player. My own play was using the up arrow to move forward, and the mouse to pan around. The focus field is used for people/objects at a distance. It isn't used all that frequently in the game. Edit: Cross-posted with Marian's edit!

If you already have the lockpick then you won't need to call Liv again.
Are you standing close enough to the padlock in order to use the lockpick on it?

I downloaded the manual of Dreamfall. Open inventory with the TAB button or by clicking the mouse wheel.
Cycle through items in your inventory with the A and D keys or the mouse wheel.
Press W or click the left mouse button to intiate interaction with the highlighted inventory item. From there, you get several choices on what to do with the selected item,: examine, use/give or combine.

Hi robert, The movement of the guy in shorts might be random -- continue on with the game and see what happens. As long as you do everything else that's necessary, you should be ok. Check against MaG's walkthrough if you think you might have missed something.

Hi robert, No, you don't have to fight Vinnie. If you're able to elude him, all the better.  Did you check room 201 and find that the door was locked? Then, at the window with the radiator, did you look through the window and see room 201 with the red sheet on the bed? Now Zoe knows she needs to make a rope to be able to get into room 201.

It isn't necessary. MaG's walkthrough says If the man arrives in the bathroom, meaning that his movement may be random. It's also certainly possible to move around upstairs and hide from the other guy (Vinnie) without ever having to fight him -- I played through it once myself this way. You just need to be absolutely sure that you've covered everything that needs to be done.
Have you managed to make the makeshift rope yet?

Hi Robert, I'm not sure what step you might be missing. If you got past the trolls and got the glowing egg, that all sounds well and good. Have you done all of this? Go forward to the end of the ledge and see a giant waterwheel. Climb down the steps and look at the waterwheel. There's a platform up there. Climb the steps close to the waterwheel. Go forward and see a broken ladder.
See a machine on the right platform. Turn the wheel and see sparks come out from top. Saved game here. Open inventory and place the glowing egg on top of the machine. Now, turn the wheel again and hear musical sound. Remember this sound. See that the powered machine opens up the water flow. The water wheel turns. Stand to left side of the machine and look up at the egg. Take the glowing egg off the machine.
Go down the steps and use the water wheel. See Zoë hold on to one of the waterwheel board to reach the top platform. Go forward and jump across the broken walkway. Go forward and climb the ladder. If you are still stuck after this, let's wait and see if someone else can figure out how to get you moving on with the game again.

Robert, Below is the part that mentions opening the staff door using the mobile on the scanner of the staff door. I presume that once you did the actions below - that gear icon is for you to use the mobile on the scanner of the staff door.
Enter the Staff door:
Use the red hand scanner right of the staff door. The guard comes over. Zoë would need Olivia's help. Zoë mails Olivia. Check the mail and see Olivia's response. The contact is at 4th floor, section 2. Olivia updated the mobile to open this staff door.
If only one ticket is taken:
Go to the First BunnyBot display where Hiro the boy is looking at. Stand behind the boy to talk to Hiro. Give Hiro the gum and then try to talk to him again.
Touch the BunnyBot exhibit. Again be reprimanded by the guard.
Talk to Hiro again. He agrees to distract the guard. Hiro enters the exhibit and BunnyBot hops down and out of the exhibit.
While the guard is distracted, use the mobile on the red hand scanner of the staff door.
If Riko has a ticket and you don't have the gum:
Riko talks to Hiro and they argue. To prove that Hiro is not a crybaby nor afraid. He enters the display.
Timed symbol matching puzzle: This is the same random timed matching puzzle as the other previous puzzle. Find the match of the lit symbol at bottom to one of the symbols on the top. Do this to all symbols. Go through the now open Staff door.

- In inventory, select the sticker(or torn ticket). - Click on the wrench icon. See a + sign. - Using the left or right arrows on the computer, scroll to place the torn ticket (or sticker) at center of the inventory selection. - Click on the item at center of inventory selection to combine it with the other item to make a makeshift museum ticket.

That's because you're not hidden. He sees you, panics and runs away. Be sure that you're hidden behind the altar so he'll come in and go to the second door.

Here's some advice I found online that might be of help: While continuing to hide, activate the Focus Field function to zero in on the locked door as the troll enters the secret code. After the troll enters and the door closes, leave the safety of your altar hiding place and re-enter the secret code to unlock the door. Go inside and take the staircase that leads down to find the next key item in your quest. Many gamers experience difficulty opening the altar door due to failing to use the Focus Field function or to activating it too soon. If you do it properly, you should view a cut scene showing the troll's every movement. If you don't get the cut scene, you know you didn't time things correctly. Simply remain hidden behind the altar and wait for another troll to come along and open the door.

You can also overwrite any used saved game slot that you think you don't need anymore. Also you can copy paste those used saved games in another folder (save them) - so that you can use them later - if you want to. Then you can overwrite those slots at your leisure. Marian.
