Hey yall, just started playing i hear its a great game. just a couple of questions. one is, i downloaded the latest patch and ran the installer, i was wondering though if theres any way to check or somewhere to see that you are indeed running the latest version.
Also, i read in manual that after you defeat an oppenent you can then kill them. I havnt even left the first town yet so maybe its too early. but i dont seem to be able to kill orcs. Like i down them and loot, then i hold mouse2 and longmouse1 and all i do is the power thrust move thing. something im doing wrong or bug?
thanks for anyone taking time to help this noob >.<

Easy way to notice if you are running a working, patched version or not - when you leave the town with Gorn (not long after the beginning), he will vanish into thin air if the game is not patched properly. If it is patched, he will tell you about the rebels, and then go into the rebel camp.

As for killing opponents, when the orc is knocked down, select him, get near him, and do a power attack. You will then plunge your sword straight through his chest in a finishing move. Takes a bit of practice, but once you get it right it's easy.

Edit: Oh, and welcome to the forums! :)

You need the sword out to fight but put away to collect items off a body. If they are dead and sword equiped no name shows up. I seldom messed with bows so not sure on that one.

The Watch has a game wiki as well with lots of info. Check that out if you haven't already. It shows up under the game tab at the top of the page. And welcome to the Watch btw. :)

It's been a while since I played it, but I actually don't think so. You get to see him when you talk to others though, since the camera shows from various angles. He looks quite cool in the kickass armors later in the game.
