When you are in game, go to MENU and choose HELP TOPICS. They're all explained there (not all the details but at least what they do).At least on PC you need to load game first, the Help Topics -button does not appear on the main menu if you haven't started a game first. now that's a helpful tip thanks, mate.

Dropped equipment has stats that i just can't understand. Things like chaos stats, doom, momentum, withering etc etc. is there some place where i can read about what these things do? maybe someone here knows about these things and want to share, for the communities sake? thanks

the way i see it the combat in DS3 is way better than any torchlight\diablo game. the combat system is many times deeper , more involving and more fun. it's not DMC but it's much better. the loot and skill system is more shallow than diablo. yeah. so in fact DS3 is a medium between these games - combat is better and deeper but not THAT much better than diablo type games. loot and skill is shallower but not THAT shallow compared to diablo type games. that's what OB were aiming for and that's what they got. ppl here are disappointed that this game is not like DS3 and they have the right to feel like this since this game bares the DS name. but i HATED DS and diablo type games. to me this is definitly a much better and more fun game than if it was a Diablo 3 clone.

following this thread i just called my retail store and they said they have the game for PC already. on one hand im mad that they didnt call me to tell me they have it since i have told them to do so (and usually they follow these kinda stuff) but more than that im just happy i can hop over there and get it so thanks for giving the heads up i hope i will play it today or tomorrow. this is a good surprise. a lot earlier than i had expected to see it on shelves.

i agree totally on everything (besides no.3. seems redundant).

actually it does. the control scheme is kinda like old school diablo games if u move and attack with the mouse, BUT the game itself requires more than these type of control scheme. the fact paced action in the game kinda implies we should be using a WASD for moving, mouse for camera kinda control scheme. it's like Obsidian was trying to make the game feel more like a DS game with the kb\m controls while the game itself is NOT like DS game in terms of action and pace. that's what i feel. if the A and D keys were to move the character and NOT the camera (and if i could rebind my keys) than i would have had a lot less to complain about, if anything at all.

bumping this baby in case anyone managed to play co-op in the demo with one controller and one kb\m.

i havent played DS1 and DS2 so u can take my input with a huge chuck of salt but i remember from the 1 hour gameplay segment with reinhart that the maps CAN be more like a maze with different paths to take. the demo is linear, yes, but i can see how potentially the later maps WILL be slightly more open.

as i have said - in the steam window in the client in the same window where it allows you to DL the demo it says local coop requires two controllers. i kinda assume it means that the full game wont allow local co-op with kb\m+controller. as stupid as this may sound i HAVE seen such a ridiculous oversight in the game "dungeons and dragons daggerdale". and to me, looking how half arsed the control scheme for kb\m IS to begin with i just suspect that i should expect as little as possible from this game that even the simplest most obvious things shouldnt be taken for granted here.

i have on controller. the 360 conteroller. i have no issues with it in any game. flawless. but i only have one. i would like to play offline co-op with a friend (room mate) and dont think it's even possible, unless someone can prove me otherwise.

i found that there are two horrible things about the controls, in my opinion: 1) the fact that W and S are for moving forward and backward but A and D are not right and left. they rotate the camera. isn't that completely stupid? shouldnt the mouse move the camera on the screen edge yet the A and D move the character left and right like in any other action game? why would i need two different schemes doing the same thing? 2 ways to rotate the camera is not needed in this game where most of the time the high angle camera shows enough. if this game had A and D as moving left and right instead of rotating the camera i wouldnt be posting here since the next point would be moot. 2) the fact that outside of combat i can left click on different sides of my character and have it attack in different directons quickly yet during combat if there is an enemy behind me , clicking on him won't make my character turn to attack the enemy im pointing my cursor on but attack the enemy in front of me. to change enemies i need to right click in the direction i want to face and then attack. there is no way to quickly change targets. if i could use A and D to change my facing this wouldnt be an issue but using the AWSD for moving around is horrible and might as well use the right click for that since WASD provide no good movements solution. i really prey to the gods of common sense to give players an option in the menu to either use A and D to rotate or to move the camera as two different options. i think most players wouldnt notice the hindering of the controls if this was the case to begin with.

i tried everything and couldnt get co-op to work. i am afraid sannom was wrong and you need two controllers (the ones with thumb sticks) to play co-op, which accompanying with the crappy control scheme for mouse\kb is another bad overlook.

K&M are controllers too. You control things with it. Hence the name. was it that hard to answer the question? how is it possible to play off line coop in the demo? can i do it right form the beginning or should i advance to get to when i release anjali?

Yes, you can. is it possible in the demo? than by all means, tell me how. in the steam window it was noted i need 2 controllers.

for the love of god please dont tell me that in order to play offline co-op i need two controllers. anyone knows if i can play offline co-op on my PC with one player on the keyboard and another on the controller? the idea of a PC gamer needing 2 controllers to play co-op offline is one of the laziest i've heard of. i dont know if this is the case but i smell laziness....
