Stuff I couldn't figure out from the manual

1. Is there a way to examine my items? At the moment, I have no idea which of my weapons does the most damage (for instance) and whether the two keys I'm carrying around are identical or not

2. Which, if any items should I keep? Is there ever going to be a shopkeep to offload all my Sharga swords on?

3 Is there a way to get the notes / maps / clues pages to open on the LAST page, rather than the first one?

So far I've figured out:

3. Tab opens a map of the current level.

Hitting the next item one the book list then turning the page back shows you the latest on the previous list. (So you can hit "maps", turn a page back and see which items you've picked up last.

Still, knowing how to inspect items (or at least having a list of weapons sorted by damage) would be nice.

I know this is an old question, but I figured I'd answer these questions in case anyone else wanted to know.

To answer the first question, just open the journal to the picture of Drake, and then flip two pages. It should have stats, like slash/pierce/crush. Then show a picture of the weapon you're using with a % and then the damage types with a % in one or more. This is how it tells you how much damage weapons do.

The next question is unfortunate. Yes there's a shopkeeper. But you can't sell anything to him. He's in the Dwarven Clannhall.

The last question is surprisingly simple. So if you want to go to the last page of each section, just click the next tab, and flip back a page. Hope that helps.
