You can play the game from the traditional Baldur's Gate perspective by zooming out and controlling the entire party as a squad. It's more enjoyable, however, to zoom way in behind a single character and lead them around with the standard WASD setups. Attacking and interacting with objects is handled with a simple right click; there's no need to click for each attack. F1-F4 allows you to switch from character to character, but you can also switch them up by clicking their portraits on the left side of the screen. Special abilities are located in a simple hotbar at the bottom, so you fire those by clicking on the icon or hitting the appropriate 1-0 key on the keyboard. We're not sure yet how the console controls will shape up, but the simplicity of the system should make it relatively easy to adapt.
