Keyboard Abuse

[PK17]

So, today I realized that the arrow keys on my keyboard will move my character in the game, as well as the wasd keys. Well, the problem is that when you walk into an enemy with the keyboard (initiating a fight), you can hit any direction key to attack the enemy. The bug is that you can hold down that direction key and continually attack the creature, without ever removing your finger. I have noticed that this "bug abuse" is extremely useful on narrow paths or bridges. On the road to remgard, I can run through those two bridges (one with brutes, the other arulirs) without hitting more than one or two buttons, where normally I would have tapped the screen about 50-75 times. It isn't very effective to walk around like that constantly, but it is worth breaking it out in those special areas. If you tap the screen whilst in battle, it will have a strange effect on using the keys.

I also found another bug, but I don't know if it has been reported yet. I know there was a problem with the player's health bar, but with this bug the enemies health bar dissapears as well as the Attack,end turn, and flee buttons. I can get screenshots, but it happens randomly to me, but fairly often.

you can get the same effect with the virtual d-pad [touch screen]

I don't see using the keyboard as a bug.

You should be able to just hold your finger on the screen and move without having to tap it a bunch. That is what I do.
