CHARACTER CONTROL
The left stick and right stick control character movement and camera movement, respectively. If you have
multiple party members, switch among them by pressing the Q button or the E button, or select your
whole party at once by pressing the Q button and the E button simultaneously. In the radial menu
(press the W button), order your party members to hold their position instead of following the character
you’re currently controlling, or order them to move to a specific location.
TARGETS AND DEFAULT ACTIONS
Interact with any character, creature, or object that displays a name and an icon when you target it
(either by walking up to it or by cycling through all possible targets by pressing the directional buttons).
To take a default action—say, to speak to a friendly character, open a chest or a door, or strike an enemy
with a basic attack—select the target and then press the S button.
In combat, the character you’re controlling executes a basic attack maneuver each time you press the
S button.
