Placing powder kegs is driving me nuts

[dak]

I keep trying and trying but no matter how much I try I never manage to get a powder keg in the right place.

There are even some places where I absolutely know I can blow up some part to get to another part etc. But I tried for 5 minutes to place the powder keg... the character kept dropping it in the wrong place! What am I doing wrong?

The powder keg is placed in the square immediately in front of you. Make sure you are facing the square you want the powder keg in.

oo, maybe I missed it in the manual but.... How can I turn without moving?

[Krafen]

The only way I know of to turn without leaving your square is to attack in the direction you want to face.

You can change the direction of your character by holding down the shift key and clicking in the direction you want to face.

Cool, I didn't know that!

I'm a PC, and direction changing in EB:2 was my idea.

A masterful contribution!
Quality often rests in the little polished details.

Good to know. Is it documented somewhere? I don't recall seeing any reference to this feature.

• Picking up powder kegs •
Powder kegs can be picked up and placed in your inventory as well. Simply walk up next to it and left-click. Right-click on the powder keg icon in your inventory to drop the keg in the space directly in front of your character. To better control where your character drops a powder keg, hold down Left Shift while clicking the mouse in a specific direction. Your character will turn that direction without walking– this allows you to drop the keg right where you want.
