Press the "A" key to enter/leave this screen, which will show any special Awards/Titles that the player has been awarded. These can add a whole assortment of benefits and capabilities to your character.
Press the "C" key to enter/leave this screen, which shows the skill level and attack/damage stats of the player. A description of each stat and value can be obtained by moving the cursor over the item. If there are any training points, they can be distributed from the Character Stats screen by clicking on the arrows to the right of the Stats in the Primary Column. NOTE: In order for the stats of weapons to be included while a weapon is equipped, the player must be in combat mode. In other words, even if you have a sword equipped, your stats will be reflected as if you do not have a sword if you are not in combat mode.
You can turn on/off combat mode by pressing the SPACE bar. When in combat mode the player character will yield a weapon (if equipped) and crossed swords will appear behind the portrait of the character in the top right corner of the screen. Once in combat mode, target the object you wish to attack and click. The player character will automatically attack the character until one of you dies. Make sure combat mode is disabled when looting corpses and conversing with other characters.
To open an item (Chest, Door, anything that highlights purple), walk to the item you wish to open, move your cursor over the item until it highlights and click on it. To close an item, left-click on it while holding down the <CONTROL> key. To help you know exactly where to click to close an item hold down the <CONTROL> key and move your mouse to find where it causes the target item to be highlighted. To close a door you need to place the mouse at the same spot that would otherwise be used to open the door.
Make sure combat-mode is disabled (press SPACE if your character image in the far top-right of the screen shows crossed swords behind it). Walk to the non-hostile NPC (Non-Player Character, anyone that isn't you) with whom you wish to converse. Click on the NPC. Note: before you approach a character to talk to him/her it is a good idea to notice what color they highlight when your mouse passes over them. The possible colors are:
By placing the cursor over an NPC (Non-Player Character, not your character), you can see if it is a Friend (Green), Foe/Hostile (Red), or Neutral (Yellow).
You can access the quick internal HELP menu by pressing the F1 key.
Pressing "I" or clicking the "inventory" icon brings up the Players Inventory screen. The items on the left are the items that the player is carrying. The items on the silhouette (body drawing) are the items the player has equipped (is actually carrying and using). To equip an item click and drag the item to the silhouette. While dragging the item, notice which area of the silhouette turns red. These are the areas where the item can be placed. Also notice the text displayed on the screen as you interact with the inventory items, as this provides vital information. Right-click on items to see details on the current item. If you don't have what it takes to use an item in your inventory then its image will be grayed/disabled so that you can't try to equip it.
The Inventory Transfer Screen displays the items for your character on the left and the object (corpse, chest, etc.) you are transferring items from/to on the Right. To move Items from one screen to the other simply click and drag the item. The areas that the item can fit are lighter than the used areas. Place the item in an unused area. At the bottom of the screen is a box that is used to place items on the ground. Use this by dragging the items to the box. An image will appear showing that the item has been placed on the ground. You can see all the items placed on the ground by using the arrows beside the ground box. You can pick up items off the ground by clicking the image in the ground box and dragging it to an empty spot in your inventory. By clicking on "All", the items that will fit will be moved in the direction specified by the arrow.

To LOAD a game, click on the slot you wish to LOAD and click the "LOAD" icon.
Make sure combat-mode is disabled (press SPACE if your character portrait in the far top-right of the screen shows crossed swords behind it). Walk to the corpse. Click on the corpse. This will bring up an inventory transfer screen. You can not place items on a corpse, once you select them you must put them in your inventory or place them on the ground.
Press the ESCAPE key to access the Main Menu from inside the game. This provides access to game Save/Load, Options, and other important features.
