save slots, camera roation?

[beluga25]

Are there only 3 save lots? I suppose that's okay, just wondering if
I'm missing anything as far as seeing more. Also, does the camera
not rotate?--I can't find any control that makes it rotate.

There are 3 "hard save" slots, plus a quicksave slot, and an autosave slot. So really 5.

And no controls to rotate the camera, this was on purpose. We wanted to keep the game focused on walking around exploring, we found that allowing camera rotation made the game feel sort of stuttery. You'd take a few steps, rotate the camera to see if there are any items, take a few steps, rotate more, etc. With the camera locked you can focus on what you see right now, and not have to continually wonder if you're missing anything behind a wall.

thank you very much for answer--however, I disagree strongly with your philosophy
on rotation--if you don't like it, don't use it?--but it should be available for people
who are major fans (like me, lol).

I was wondering about the camera rotation myself. It's still fine without it.

You've done a great job on the game. I'm enjoying it quite a bit so far. After I've logged some more hours I plan on doing a review.

Actually, while I'm thinking of it, how do you use the quick slots? I haven't figured that out yet. I don't know how to assign certain attacks to the slots.

If it was just an option to not use it, the problems he just pointed out would still be an issue. If you chose to not use it you would just miss certain items behind a tree or wall. With the fixed camera every item is within view from your perspective.
