Sure, if that is your play style I can respect that. It took seconds to search an entire area with the broad search circle in DOS. I like to search and pickup/read all the books, as in divinity titles you could get spells/info/extra quests reading certain books. In this game so far, having all these tiny little items to pick up one by one just seems incredibly tedious, and I find myself not even bothering to pick up many items at this point. The alt function doesn't highlight all searchable items unfortunately. You can easily miss stuff in this game. I hope the search system goes straight to DOS style titles. I don't think we need a controller just for that, just a simple hot key.
It only took less then a minute of my time to sell everything in DOS titles. This game is selling one item at a time so far, right? Can you easily mark items for bulk sales now, or an I missing something? It's great having the $ when needed in those games. In this game, I don't really buy much as the vendors just don't have much worth getting. Hopefully that changes in the future releases. Bummer, I feel the broad area search circle was a huge deal for games like these. Thanks for info guys, I thought maybe it just wasn't listed in the button mapping.
