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.
