Yeah, I just end up here after talking to the ship’s captain, doesn’t matter which tile I choose to interact with them either:
I can’t do anything from that point, I’m locked on that tile and interacting in every direction does nothing either. Unless I need a completely new save for it to work (I just continued from the previous version), I can’t think of anything else.
As for the NPCs without dialogue, it would feel more natural if they did have something to say as, with the exception of some guards, they’re the only mute NPCs in town. That said though, both the MV People1.png and People1.png sprite sheets have some good faces you could use for both of them.
