Hi all!

I'm taking another stab at getting into BG1, but I'm in the tutorial and can't enter buildings that it seems like I should be able to. I was able to walk around the inn with no issue, but now I'm at the building where an NPC has tasked me to go in and fight some critters and the best I can do is stand in the doorway. If I place the cursor anywhere over the interior of the building, it turns into the circle with a line through it indicating I can't perform the move action.

I'd love to play this game, but I'm not sure how to if I can't enter buildings. I'd really appreciate any help!

You need to find the entrance to a building (door usually) and hover over it till the cursor changes, and then... (I don't remember because it's been so long since I've played bg1)... left click? right click? Anyway, you have to activate the doorway.

-edit- One more thing that I forgot: Some "openings", like most doors, need 1) to be opened with a click, and 2) with the opened door now exposing the actual thing you have to interact with, click on the spot behind the opened door. (And yes, your cursor will change when you hover over the right spot.)

Here's a screenshot with the building that Reevor (a dwarf standing next to it) tells you to go inside and fight against rats:

You can see that the door is highlighted with a blue rectangle. This is the spot where you open the door in this building. When you open it (left mouse button), you have to click on the opening - pretty much the same spot, in order to enter this building.
