| Gesture recognition - This means in basic terms that a spell is asigned to a gesture that you need to perform with the mouse (don't worry they are very basic). As you 'paint' the gesture on the ground a small red line is draw (non permanently) onto the ground. Once the gesture has been peformed the corresponding spell will be charged and ready for use. Real World Performance - The one most exciting feature B&W has to offer. This means that everything you do in the game will be physically sound. If you throw a rock it will take its course as if you had thrown it in real life. This rule applies to EVERYTHING in the game. No tree isnt movable no boulder isnt throwable. It's your world go explore it. |
