General Tips and Tricks

• Lowering the graphics quality may decrease loading times.

• Raising the animation speed also raises the character movement speed.

• You can click through buildings to move from the outside to the inside as long as the door is opened, even if you don't see what's inside. On occasions you can even directly interact with elements such as stairs. This is true of any wall and can save time avoiding camera rotations and unnecessary movements.

• You can maintain a number key pressed to go through dialogues faster. Be aware that it will keep selecting the line corresponding to that number, it may not always be what you want. With careful attention and the use of transitions you can keep a key pressed until a certain point and then realease it to resume selecting specific lines.

• It's sometimes possible to buffer inputs for dialogues, resulting in them resolving during the screen transition or fade to black. It allows to skip short dialogues or to preselect a line. This is usualy done by maintaining a number key pressed before starting the dialogue.

• Opening the character screen doesn't interrupt movement, allowing you to level up skills while running. Opening the inventory does interrupt movement, however transitioning to the alchemy or craft tab will resume it. Be aware that any map transition, event, dialogue, ... will close the screen, and any skill point spending will become permanant.

• You can anticipate cursor placement during dialogues, loadings, ... in order to immediatly click where you'd like once it resolved. This allows for small time saves that will add up along the way.

• The Laevinus clip:

You can clip through the roof of Ganezzar inn instead of taking the stairs, gaining a second or two. To do that start outside the inn, open the door, zoom out, angle the camera and place your cursor over Laevinus and the ground floor at the same time. Right click to move in and immediatly left click to interact. It doesn't seem to work if the cursor is also over the first floor wall so make sure to get the correct angle. Note that if you stop running at any time or if you miss once it it's not worth attempting. You have to give the order to open the door while your character is running, then angle the camera and place your cursor before they gets there, and click as soon as the door is opened to gain time.
