I checked the controls and played the game for about an hour or two last night and noticed I couldn't grab anything and didn't see the keymap for it. Is it just not possible with the engine change or do you think it could still be implemented with a mod when the SDK is released?

In a gameplay video i saw someone grabbing a book but i guess that could have been telekinesis or something. If there is a way to do it, I haven't figured it out yet.

Hold down the pickup/interact key.

I'm not sure about PC but on PS3 instead of tapping X to pick up an item you hold it, then it will be grabbed by you. It could be similar on PC try using whatever key is the "activate" key and hold it down.

Oh, I guess that would make sense. The interface is very awkward this time around. Hopefully with the release of the SDK(sooner the better) I'll be able to fix the things that bother me on my own time. Haha. Anyway, I"m just going to assume it works and thank both of you. ^.^
