It’s a pain for mouse user like me to find that right pixel on the screen to be able to talk to NPCs.
They were designed for the keyboard settings I assume. Which also doesnt work flawlessly. Go figure…
try this
Just stand next to them and press space. Or plug in a controller and press whatever is on the right side of the face buttons
If you’re using mouse controls won’t work (you’ll jump instead).
This is extremely annoying, the same that pets, quest NPCs and whatnot gets in the way of combat, specially for ranged classes.
