Interface questions
Posted: Sun Dec 27, 2009 8:41 am
I finally started playing this game, and the interface feels a bit strange... It's like infinity engine, but with weird radial menus from NWN...
I just started and am in the mortuary with Morte. Anyway, a few questions:
1. Is there any way to see the message log (like in BG or NWN)? The messages just appear on top and disappear, and the dialogue log only contains dialogues..
2. Is the only way to cast spells through the radial menu?
3. How do you use thieve's abilities? they are not there in the radial menu... I realize I have no thieves yet, so will the abilities appear in the radial menu for them?
4. Are there any ingame special abilities descriptions? The litany of curses is explained in the manual, but what about any new abilities I gain?
5. What does the "Current State: normal" on the statistics screen mean?
6. Any way to switch ingame subtitles? I found subtitles=0 in torment.ini and changed it to 1.. does that apply only to movie subtitles?
And finally something not related to the interface:
7. I'm really reluctant to install any non-official mods, before playing the game at least once. I got the official patch 1.1. Does the unofficial fixpack contain anything crucial, or can I just skip it on my first run (no spoilers please).
Thanks all in advance.
