TARGETING INFORMATION
Your cursor does more than show your point of aim. Thanks to your
internal IFF system, it also shows you a great deal of useful information
about your environment.
Target Brackets
Targeting brackets
appear around
whatever you are
looking at. When
something is target-
ed you can aim a
weapon at it, pick it
up or use it. If a
friendly character is
targeted, pressing
A will initiate a
conversation.
Enemy Health Bar
If your IFF system
identifies a poten-
tially hostile target,
it will display a bar
to the right of the
target showing the
target’s current
damage level. The
bar will shorten as
the target sustains
damage, allowing
you to see how
effective your
attacks are.

will cycle through your toolbelt,
equipping each item in turn until
