Moving objects. Essential knowledge in basic mechanics
Hi all!

Upd.: Ignore the below critisim. I should have been more attentive to the game's hints.

I played a game for around a half an hour and I am so frustrated that something as basic as moving object is not explained in game. I had no idea that moving of object is possible unless in a first cave (before a mine) game told me that I can drop something on it. Well okay, was it so hard to put "for moving hold LMT on an object"? Immediately after that I checked the internet and the first google link explained how to move things. Why should I look for BASIC mechanics explanations somewhere outside the game? I agree that advanced tricks are about discovering myself, but BASIC actions? Come on...

This reminds me of Fallout 2 trick at mutant base - use wrench (or something like that) on a electrical barrier to switch it off (if you lucky enough). It is the thing you either already know or don't. Only true-hardcore players could discover it themselves.

I believe your going to have a hard time with this game. Just wait till your lost and have no ideal where to go because the game will not tell you threw anything but hints and exploration.

You are taught in the tutorial how to move objects. You learn it right after you learn how to smash chests. There is a bridge with containers that are in your way. It is the second thing you are taught in the tutorial dungeon.

The pop up states, "You can move an object by dragging (click and hold)." Click on the tutorial log on the mini map to see for yourself (the question mark icon).

Broken Fang,
Nah, I will be okay, because everything in the tutorial cave was obvious. The tricks and puzzles are well with me, but I needed to know what I have to solve them. I don't think I will have really hard time here. From old classics I played Fallout 1 & 2 and it was ok with me. But I did not play Baldurs Gate or similar games ever.

Battleseed,
I totally like the game, and from the first sight I see how enternaining and adventurous it will be with many possible ways to solve the problem. But unexplained moving objects (despite Ayt tells it actually was) frustrated me, disregarding that I found an answer in google in like 30 seconds.

Upd.: I see Ayt pointed that moving was actually explained, which means I should be more attentive and probably wash my eyes. Which makes this thread useless. What a shame, how do I delete the thread? :D

Why delete? You obtained the answer to your problem, so this thread was useful to you, amd maybe it will be useful to anyone having the same problem in the future.
Good luck with the game.
