MAIN GAME SCREEN
There are three main bars on the upper left corner of the main game
screen. These bars represent your hit points, the amount of experience
points to reach the next level, and the amount of arcane energy your
character currently possesses.
Hit Points Bar:
Hit points (HP) are a measure of how many points of
damage your character can take before dying. When a character
reaches 0 hit points, they are dead. Hit points for your character are
represented by the red bar on the upper left corner of the main
game screen.
Hit points can be healed via healing potions, and they will also
regenerate over time. A high Constitution (see Character Abilities,
p. 20) allows you to regenerate hit points faster than normal.

New: This option will replace the selected player slot with a new
character of your choice. In a two player game you cannot choose
the character of the other player present. This option is only
available if there are controllers in both controller ports.
Import: This will lead you to several prompts for finding and
retrieving a character from a previously saved game. Note that you
may transfer a character from a two player save game, provided
that the character is not currently being used by the other player.
Accept: If you have made any changes, then the level will re-load
with the new player selections present.
Delete: This function allows you to delete one of the players. This
function is present only when two players are present.
The import option will bring up the save game browser and prompt
you to select a save game. Once selected, the contents of the save
game are displayed, giving information on the players present,
including their experience, level, health, and gold. The player can
back up to the browser if a different save game is desired.
Once you have imported/deleted/changed the player line up, select
the “Accept” function and the game will re-load the level and reflect
the changes. If no changes have been made, “Accept” returns you
immediately to the game.
Exit to Menu
This option takes you back to the Dark Alliance main menu, allowing
you to start a brand new game or load a previous save game.
Character Statistics Screen:
To view your character’s statistics,
items, gold, and other information, press the BACK button. This will
take you to the Character Statistics Screen described on p. 17.
