Faldon
Nearly all powerful warriors in Faldon are skilled Berserkers. An unusually high percentage of mages cast spells. Some folks are Alchemists, some are Thieves.
Making money in Faldon can be challenging if you don't know what is saleable, and who to sell it to. Gathering a large stash of treasure becomes easier when you can defeat higher level monsters that drop 5-10 gold each, but until then you need a way to buy that 20gp kite shield.
Battling villainous mice, snakes, and turkeys with your fists is highly ineffective. Without the aid of technology, humans in Faldon just can't compete. So it's vital to know how to equip swords, armor, and wear shoes, and how to make your character drink healing potions.
Faldon uses both the mouse and the keyboard for gameplay. Gamepads work also, but their use is not documented here.
Game Data & Story
You may have noticed that it takes quite a bit of time to scroll through all your spells and skills and choose the one you want. The shortcut bar, on the right side of the interface, can help you out for commonly used spells and skills, and it works for potions and other inventory items too. To put a spell, skill, or item in the shortcut bar, left click it. Your cursor will turn into what you just clicked, along with a red targeting cursor. Now, move the cursor over to one of the eight slots on the right so that the red targeting cursor is over the desired slot. Left click again, and it's in. Each slot of the shortcut bar is hot-keyed to a number key from 1 to 8, and can be selected (or used, in the case of potions) by that key.
