30 seconds into the game I've hit a wall. A message pops up saying "You have lost health!" and then tries to make me assign a potion to a shortcut. I'm not interested in rebinding my keys right now, I just want to nope out of this assinign combat tutorial and start playing the game. No matter what I do, I just keep getting that message. I cant even follow the instructions to bind the stupid key.

This is terrible so far.

it wants you to bind a potion to a hotbar slot. once you do that it will continue. it is not rebinding keys. its simply your hotbar, that allows easy access to it mid battle. same thing that has been used in many other crpgs.

to bind it, follow the instructions, when instead of selecting it as to use it, in the bottom middle of the screen there will be a bind button option i typically pick the 1 key. this can be changed and you can bind other things to this quick button.

Default bind key should be middle mouse button.

Hopefully original poster got through this, because the tutorial is super condensed and you can get into proper gameplay faster than almost any other RPG I've ever played. I was very impressed by the pacing of this game and how little it wastes my time.
