Hi Bryan,
One day after many many rounds with a 12 gauge my shoulder was getting sore.
My friend told me to just hold it with one hand against my hip. It surprised
me, but it worked just fine. It was even fun.

Hi Jim,
That's interesting. I've never been told to try that before. As far as
shoulders getting sore my grandpa's old shotgun packs one heck of a
kick. My step dad is, or was, a game hunter, and he tried it one time
and it knocked him on his rear. Plus he had a pretty sore shoulder the

Laugh. That is a good point. Still Mysteries of the Ancients actually

Hi Thomas,
I liked the enter keys able to pick up objects, sort of like your left hand
doing this while the space bar controlled your right hand holding weapons.
If you are going for reality, then with two hands you should be able to pick

Well, one of the primary reasons I asigned fire and pick up to the same

Hi Bryan,
Those are some very good points/arguments in favor of holstering weapons
before picking up items. After all any person using a shotgun is likely
to steady it with one hand while using the other to pull the trigger.
Another absolutely two-handed weapon is the bow. Your not going to
Hi Phil,
Hmmm...Yeah, but sawed off shotguns are illegal. Not sure how likely or
unlikely it would be for Angela to find one in the tomb, but for the
game purposes I was thinking of a standard 12-gage shotgun.

The sword could be either one or two-handed depending on the type...
whether it was a lighter thing like a shortsword
with me as well so I usually just use
the tab key.
Just a thought.

Hi Dark,
Yeah, I fully intend to go into detail about the weapons at some point
when i complete the user's guide. It, like the game, is a work in
progress and personally writing manuals aren't my thing. One of those
necessary evils. Grin.

Hi Dark,
Historically speaking a lot of Greek soldiers carried a short sword
called a hoplite. The hoplites carried by military officers were as much
a work of art as a weapon as they were often decorated with fancy hilts,
golden scabbards, and had all kinds of mythical imagery engraved on
Hi Phil,
Hahahahaha. That was funny as usual. Though, well pointed. It is very
hard to add realism to the game because of though very reasons. Either
the weapon or the torch has to go somewhere else to fre up a hand to do
something else.

Hi Tojm.
I like, particularly the way that item frequency is down, it makes the game
significantly different not knowing what weapons you've got.
When you eventually list weapons in the game's manual, how about a range
list? I love the aspect of using specific weapons on specific enemies,
