How do you drop and grab a ledge when standing on one?
like seriously i like to grab the edge of a bridge for example, you can do this in every other stealth game.
now i have to jump turn 180 degrees and hope it grabs the ledge, i die about 90% of the time....

If you're using mouse and keyboard, just hold right mouse button while walking (or running) over an edge. Styx grabs it automatically.

Not sure what would be a correct button if you use a gamepad though.

holding RT would be the button. Also don't they show how to do that in the prologue?

I think that they mention it during the tutorial/prologue. I don't have the game yet, but I have played the demo (thanks for that, Focus/Cyanide).

I must say that I was a little bit hesitant to approach an edges of any kind after remembering how grabbing them was a littly bit finicky in the previous game, but they really have improved it. No more careful shuffling towards an edge; you can just run at full speed and as long as you remember to hold down the correct button while doing so, Styx will grab the ledge.

At least nine times out of ten. :)

RT only works sometimes. I've tested it on numerous railings. I can drop and catch a railing only on certain segments, but not on others.

And of course there is no way to navigate a corner -- even an inner one.
