Interface in the game
I'm having some difficulty using the game for the first time. Although the manual does explain some things, and there is an in-game guide, I am the sort of person who needs VERY explicit step-by-step directions on how to do exact things. I have a very hard time understanding WHERE things are inside games, in terms of buttons to click, menus to select, etc. I need information like, "It is the third button from the right, one level down, square, colored blue. Click it twice, and the item will reload" For example....nowhere am I finding any explanation of how I keep track of how badly injured my squad members are. I'm assuming this is the red bar underneath the Trust level bar. Which leads to my second problem. I am able to use the scroll wheel in my mouse to scroll through my available weapons. However, when I select "i" for Inventory, I do see non-weapon items. How exactly do you know when an item has been selected? I presume when it turns orange from being clicked on. So, I click on a medical pack, hit Escape to return to the game, approach a squad member, hit W to use the item.........and nothing at all happens.
