Some news from the currently live AMAA (ask me almost anything) on Reddit:

Can you describe the control scheme and interface for the tablet versions?

Tap to move characters and drag the screen around, pinch to zoom in/out, and tap and hold for many things that were previously right-click actions. Text fields and item lists are finger-scrollable now. We've added a few new buttons to control the box-selection mode, as well as a select-all button being more visible. And if you hurl your tablet at the ground, it will shatter.

If drag is for scrolling the screen, then how to box-select?
[snip]
There is a new button on the bottom right. Clicking it will turn your next drag into a box select. Once you've made that box select it turns off.

Box select is a mode now, and there's a "select all" button as well.
BG:EE won't make you throw your tablet in a rage, that's just how we've implemented the "quit" button.

On the Tablet, the current controls are: Touch: move to / interact with object / pick up / attack / talk to Touch-drag: move background (scroll camera) Two finger pinch: Zoom in/out Everything else is pretty much a touch on a single button

Anyone else concerned about this? I hope the Nexus 7 owners will provide some feedback on their gaming experience, come Sep 18th.
