Just on a side note, the control method displayed in that video is an option. Most people choose to play with either a gamepad or WASD + mouse controls, which work much better than click & drag. The choice to move away from point and click was in order to provide a more cinematic and dynamic camera without having to worry about showing the ground clearly. While using WASD + mouse, you are still able to click on any hotspots on screen, and the character will automatically walk to them.
People on the TTG forums whine about this all the time and it bothers me, sorry for going off-topic.
