We will not discuss the controls in detail, however, we will discuss several interesting options you may find useful. Press ESC and choose "Preferences" to enter the Options Panel.

Controls

There are a lot of options whose default settings should not be changed because they simply are convenient. Of course, you can alter each option according to your preference. Below are the options to which you should pay special attention:

• [General] Auto-loot on Right Click - you should absolutely turn this option on. Thanks to it you won't have to press the "Take all" button while searching the opponent's body.
• [General] Enable Area Loot - you should absolutely turn this option on. Thanks to it, while searching the opponent's body that belonged to a particular group you'll simultaneously pick up all the items left by all other enemies belonging to that group.
• [Camera] Camera Max Distance - a bar that allows you to zoom out the camera very far from your character, which will enable you to see more. Specify the distance according to your preference.
• [Camera] Camera Rotation Speed - a bar specifying the speed at which the camera can turn around. Specify the speed according to your preference.

User Interface

These are a lot of options whose default settings should not be changed because they simply are convenient. Of course, you can alter each option according to your preference. Adjusting the interface is recommended as you broaden your knowledge about the game and gain the next levels. Below are the options to which you should pay special attention:

[Tooltip] Enable Companion Comparative Tooltips - an extremely useful option, thanks to which items (when you place RMB on them in your inventory) will be compared to both your items (the ones you're wearing) and your companion's.
