It is at this point we have our first battle, as we are set upon by a pack of Ghouls. You get to learn what you actually took away from the Battle Tutorial - which we hope was great skill!
Adrenaline Points -- You also learn about Adrenaline Points, which result from the use of certain abilities in combat. Using these you can execute special moves - something to think about.
Vitality Regeneration -- Next you learn about Vitality Regeneration - which you can do by eating or drinking or by a lengthy meditation.
You can place food and drink in your Consumables Slots for quick access. Follow the instructions on the screen - D-Pad Up or D-Pad Down to consume them.
BEFORE you call - or mount - your horse use The Sense to see what there is to see here - which is bodies of the Ghouls you can loot PLUS reagents you can gather from the plants. Go ahead and loot and gather BEFORE you mount.
To call your horse Double-Tap the Left Joystick. To Mount use A while facing it. Before you do that we should take a first look at The Menu Scheme, right?
