How do i do stuff?

[Ben Drinkin]

Like attack, talk to people, use things, pick up things...
I haven't figured it out lol
Also i'm using alternative keyboard settings

With the Alternative settings in mind, Ctrl is the Action key, which is your bread & butter key, kinda like the A button in Zelda. For example, holding Ctrl and pressing W when highlighting a torch on the ground will pick it up. Then accessing your inventory with Tab and using D until you go to the Miscellaneous section, and scroll wheeling down to the torch, you equip it with Ctrl+W again. This also applies for using food to heal yourself, and equipping a weapon. Ctrl+W will also let you talk to people, and interact with objects in the world.

For combat, pressing tilde (~) will let you enter combat stance while unarmed. Pressing spacebar will draw the weapon you have equipped, and pressing it again will sheath it. While in combat stance, your strafing will be more quick, and holding Ctrl will allow you to attack/defend when using movement keys. Such as, Ctrl+W will let you do a gap-closing forward attack, Ctrl+A/D will let you to sweeps, and Ctrl+S will let you block for a very brief moment.

Alternatively to what vandal said you can use the CTRL and arrow keys as well.
