What is with the NPCs in this game? I can't do a thing with them!
  • 1 of 4: You can attack with them.
  • 2 of 4: You can also talk with them.
  • 3 of 4: Press the NPC's number key to select him, then press the same key again to bring up a dialogue box. For instance, if you have only one NPC, he'll be #5 for sure, so press 5 until you get a dialogue box.
  • 4 of 4: However, you can't view their inventories, skills, stats, or anything like that. You also can't train them, give them new equipment, etc. I guess that was meant to "simplify" things.
