Combat is simple. In the early stages your henchman and hero will automatically follow you, and once you attack they'll attack as well (although you can command your hero to be defensive or passive if you wish). It's then a case of clicking on your target to begin the assault. You can equip weapons, which can be bought from merchants, crafted or found on enemies in the main menu and switching weapons depending on who you are fighting is a crucial tactic. Before the fighting begins, you would have assigned up to 8 skills that your character can use in combat. There skills sit at the bottom of the screen and it's a case of selecting your target and clicking on the relevant skill in order to execute the function. Depending on your chosen occupation (remember we choose a Warrior) you'll be able to use these skills providing you have enough adrenaline or energy, which is gained through fighting or casting a spell to increase it. Skills range from healing signets and power attacks to the extremely useful resurrection spell which allows you to bring back to life any fallen comrade. As you conquer more quests you'll unlock new more powerful skills or they can be bought from merchants in the various outposts.
