Has anybody noticed inconsistencies in the game that ought to be ironed out?
Me, I've noticed that I can light a torch in my inventory by equipping it. If I want to light one on the wall, I have to use the Ignite spell. This is just plain weird.
But, despite the pretty grim physics, and the odd bug, I loved the demo. Nice one, Arkane Studios!!

That's an appreciated feature if you ask me....I, for one, don't intend to use magic at all.
Unless you mean something like: use flint on torch or something...But that's just unnesscessary and would get real old real fast.

True....they could, however, make it so that you have to have a "flint" or whatever (I suggest a cigarette lighter - just kidding) in your inventory in order to light it. But such an item would probably take up a trivial amount of space anyway.

I think it would be wise to allow us to stack torches. They don't last very long, so it will likely be wise to carry a cunch at a time. Is there going to be a way to make torches? That would be nice, but I didn't really find any loose wood in the demo.

Ya, for a game that takes place underground (mostly, anyways, I'm assuming), those torches last a ridiculously short amount of time. They last what, 3 minutes? I'm not certain how long they'd last in real life, but I'd guess at least 30 minutes. I mean, how fun is the game going to be if you can't see anything? Hopefully they've thought this all through =).

you can stack torches, as long as you didn't light them already once. (At least I could)
Did anybody find any way to refill the empty bottles?

to use items, you double click them, but to use a fishing pole, you have to right click it.

you DO can light a torch on the wall one by one ... by using the one in your inventory : use it (or press T), then left click on the torch icon, then light the torch on the wall, a fireplace... (strange you couldn't use it on the fireplace near the goblin lord, or you couldn't cook a fish with a torch...)
too bad you couldn't know in realtime the durability of your torch (without get it back to your inventory)

All I've been able to fill empty bottles with is [SPOILER]herbal powders made with the pestle and mortar. However, I've heard that that's as far as you can go towards making potions without a distillery, of which there isn't one in the demo :([/SPOILER]

- to use an item, you right click on it;
- to combine/use an item with another you double-click on it then on the target item.
This is OK for me. I don't think this has to be changed.
