Item stats

Post by Fermen »

Hey,

Is there any way I can check the item-stats of things (weapons and armor) I pick up in the game. I can only see the weight by hold it over the eye and I must check item stats on the internet but it seems kind of funny if u should have to do that.

PS. I play the PC (Dos) version.

Regards,

Fermen

Yeah, that was the way stuff worked back then - you didn't get every little bit of info handed to you with a big arrow pointing at it saying "Look at this stuff you might need to know! Look! Look! It's in different colours and everything!" - Back then, you actually had to mess around and experiment and stuff to find out if one piece of kit was better than another ;).

Ameena is very very right. And after all, this is more realistic, isn't it? I mean, in the real life, the various items you find lying around would hardly have a 'statistical guide' attached, wouldn't they?

And welcome to the forums! :D

Until recently, we didn't have half that information. Decades have gone passed with people arguing over which item was better.

And yes, welcome to the forums!
