I was just wondering how you actually pick which spell you want to use. Is there a menu where you click which one you want then perform the mouse gesture in order to make it "happen" (and to give the strength of it)? Or, do you just move the mouse in the way that the given Spell's gesture requires?

I remember reading somewhere, age's ago now, that Molyneux wanted to have the user interface as less cluttered as possible. Is this true?

My thoughts are you bring up a spell cursor where your hand normally is and do the gesture.

But I know you do have a choice of gesture recognition or straightforward UI.

Straightforward UI??! Who would use that if they had the choice of a cool new Gesture Recognition?!
/me wouldn't :D

I'll not be either, as it's one of the more exciting new things being tried in this game.

I'd love to see someone trying to gesture with a joypad. What I want to know is if you can use the FinRing (search the recent reviews on http://www.computershopper.co.uk) to gesture. That would be very cool.

what i really want to know is if it will support a tablet, with a tablet i could do stuff like gesturing super accurately but the trouble with most games is that most games either try to comit suicide or don't recognise the tablet when i try to use it with them
