A "hands-on preview" of Pool of Radiance - Ruins of Myth Drannor can be found on PC.IGN today (pop-up alert!). Here's something about the interface:
Next up, the simplified interface is in place, and while it can take a little getting used to after the last couple years of the Infinity Engine's split view, it is actually very functional. Simply right click on a character and you get the full range of options from viewing their character sheet to casting spells and using items in your inventory. For the most part, you have a completely full and unobstructed view of the screen. At the top left corner of the screen is an initiative bar that shows the order of combat, while at the bottom of the screen you have a bar where you can access the map and options and another bar for your party. Right clicking on your characters, enemies, and objects activates everything else. Thankfully, almost every action can also be carried out by a series of hotkey commands, which can shorten down the right clicking a bit. |
