The actual gameplay is pretty straightforward and closely resembles that of Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance. Targeting specific enemies can be quite useful in almost every combat situation, since it also lets you execute evasive maneuvers such as rolls and back flips. This is especially important for Kane, since he moves relatively slowly and can't evade enemies as well by simply walking in the opposite direction. Whenever you make contact with an enemy, a number will appear over its head, indicating how much damage was inflicted, though this feature can be turned off if you find it distracting. Some sequences involve walking around town areas and talking to the local residents to receive side quests. Of course, your overall quest is to locate a missing paladin from the Brotherhood of Steel, but there will be several relatively menial tasks as well, such as locating a prostitute's missing cat. When you reach the end of an area, you'll have to take on a boss character who will be much more powerful and require a little more strategy to defeat than the average enemy.
