When you right click on an item and it brongs up the name of the item and it's details, what controls how much you know. My first character could look at a piece of bread and know it reduces fatigue, but my second gets ? ? ? and no details..this leaves me not knowing what to keep and what not to keep and I don't know what I did different the second time to lose this?

I think it's the alchemy skill. I'm not sure though, so correct me if i'm wrong.

MofM is right, it's Alchemy.

Thanks...I just started so will restart..I kinda like knowing at least a LITTLE about stuff when I pick it up..and I'm going to use alchemy anyway...

Yeah i restarted and made a sort of custom class, and alchemy is one of my main skills now.

And welcome to the Ironworks :D

Hopefully, I can get used to the idea of this open-ended stuff..I'm constantly sitting here going...do I do thhhiiiiiis or thaaaat...esp on these early quests....with two or so ways to resolve any quest, it's hard to know what's *best* for me ;)

hmmzz, so alcemy is good for more than one thing... good
