Combat sytem detail

[Zaphodikus]

I hear people talk about combos? how are combos executed, is there a list?

My primary problem is that after selecting a spell, I cannot select back to using a sword/weapon again. I played in the inventory for ages, also the "F" quickspell list thing does not seem to do anything at all either.

Except for the huge amount of clicking needed, DL looks awesome, I am going to ask at my local outlet tonight for when they will have it.

"Q" - to arm sword, dagger etc
"E" - bring up the general, inventory, potions etc menu
Select the tab for the type of magic you want to cast. Place the cursor over a spell you want to hotkey then press 1-9 to assign it. After that you'll be able to cast the spell by pressing that hotkey. When you run out of spell charges in the demo it doesn't revert to a melee weopon like it will in the release. So when that happens hit "Q" to rearm yourself...Even this is a bit buggy since I'm not sure if in the demo it arms your best weopon. Certainly not 2 if you want to dual wield..So in this case you're better off just hitting "E" which pauses the demo, and arm yourself the way you want.
Hope this helps..
Oh and combos or more acurately, special moves, are done by double tapping the arrow keys..

If you're talking about the special combat moves rather than the dodging moves that Boog7 refers to with the double tap comment, there was or is a unofficial list somewhere in the threads. Don't have time to find it right now, but you could poke around and find it, I think.

Basically, the fourth attack in any uninterrupted sequence of attacks is the "special" one and what it is depends on which attack you started the sequence with and, I think, the weapon(s) you're using. For instance, if you're double-wielding swords and you start with a forward attack, then click three more attacks without stopping or getting interrupted (don't think it matters if any of the attacks connect), your fourth click overall will perform this kind of "stick and eviscerate like a stuck pig" move that does a lot more damage than a regular attack. If you start the sequence with a side attack, the special move on the fourth click is a whirlwind kind of attack. Hope that answers your questions.
