Movement is controlled by the console controllers. There is no point and click as with the PC but rather users have direct control via the joystick so movement is manually directed to the spot you wish the character to move to, taking the character around obstacles between them and to the destination.

Picking up an item will display its details by your heads up displayon-screen UI. It will display the name of the item, an icon indicating the slot it would occupy but most importantly whether it is better than the item you currently have equipped by way of up to a maximum of 3 green arrows (1 being slightly better and 3 being significantly better) in three criteria. To indicate an inferior item the arrows will be red down arrows and an item neither better or worse will display minus lines. From here you can either equip or drop it on the ground for someone else to pick up.

Using the D-Pad you can scroll through the last few items picked up in this way too.

In offline multiplayer players The character's inventory is automatically organised by item slots as opposed to one large bag as is the case with the PC version. Items are grouped so highlighting the slot on the radial menu on the left will display items in the inventory that can be equipped there. Selecting one of the items will need to take compare it in turns to access their various user interfaces the currently equipped item that is displayed on the right of that. The new item can be equipped from there or you can carry on looking through the items available for that slot.  The '''Quick Equip''' (as detailed above) enables players to compare and equip items they open 've recently picked up without opening the full screeninventory which, in offline multiplayer games, interrupts gameplay.

The character inventory Skills interface is organised by item slots. Highlighting the same arrangement with a radial slot selection area on the radial menu left and on the left will display items in your inventory that can be equipped thereright details of the skills available. Selecting one of This area looks pretty much the same as the items will compare PC version although it to only displays the currently equipped item that is displayed on the right of thatsimplified skill information.

The Skills In offline multiplayer players will need to take it in turns to access their various user interfaces as they open full screen and so only one interface is the same arrangement with can be viewed at a radial slot selection portion on the left and on the right details of the skills available and this portion looks pretty much the same as the PC version although it only shows the simplified skill informationtime.
