Basic Controls
Movement
The first major difference you will notice is that you cannot move with "WASD". Shadowbane uses a click-to-move system, where you will right-click on the ground to make your character move in that direction. This may feel a little strange, especially if you are coming from another third-person game, but it becomes easier as you get used to it.
When traveling longer distances, you can even use your minimap. Right-click on the minimap to move your character in that direction.
Targeting
To target something, you can simply click on it. This is easy in a quiet town, but in combat, most players embrace the targeting hotkeys.
Your first step is to visit the appropriate class trainer and promote to a prestige class. You can tell which NPCs are class trainers by their titles (e.g. Thomas, Master Assassin).
To easily find the appropriate trainer, use the semicolon (;) and comma (,) keys to cycle your target through nearby NPCs. When you find the one you want, look closely at the minimap to see where it is standing. Go and interact with the
Interacting
To interact with an NPC, make sure they are both nearby and selected. Either double-click on the NPC or press the "utilize selected" hotkey (default: U). Interacting with or using inventory items uses the same hotkeys.
Once you have promoted to your chosen class, its time to equip a set of armor. Find the nearby armorsmith and weaponsmith. Interact with them and ask to see their wares. When you scroll through their list, you will notice most of the items have red names. This means that your character cannot equip those items.
Combat
To enter combat mode, press C. You will notice your character takes a combat stance.
To make click-to-move easier, your character will automatically run towards a target you wish to attack.
More Useful Hotkeys
- S = "Self" Player Information
- K = Focus Lines and available trains
- P = Powers/Spells

- T = Tell
- R = Reply to previous tell
- M = World Map
- N = Toggle Names

- Z = Toggle Sit/Stand

These keys can be rebound by pressing Esc, Options, Hotkeys. Additionally, most UI elements that you can click on, such as powers, can be bound by Ctrl+Click and selecting "assign hotkey".
