I know its a small thing but the code already exists for players, maybe restrict it to cities or something but half the time I'm stuck on someone who hasn't even loaded for me yet (PS4 potato represent)

    You already can, just dodge roll through them.

    You already can, just dodge roll through them.

    Doorways and combat arent the only things that NPCs complicate.

    Companions and pets are the worst NPCs when trying to approach something needing access (like nodes/chests/buttons to open doors/reward chests/writ turn-ins.

    Trying to roll-dodge through them for access to something is generally fruitless and just needlessly exasperating.
    The problem with society these days is that no one drinks from the skulls of their enemies anymore.

    It sounded like the OP was referring to collision boxes, which as the previous poster noted, is resolved by dodge-rolling through the given NPC.

    When it comes to preventing interaction...that I kind of can agree with. It can be annoying, particularly on my warden, to be trying to harvest stuff between battles, and between my pet, my companion, and my non-combat pet, having crap get in my way and preventing pressing the interact key.

    but eh... it's a small complaint, tbh

    Well you're in luck because they fixed this, just now. Like today... unless you're on console.

    Agreed, collision detection in this game is terrible. Its so annoying that a small rock or branch blocks your movement.

    I mean even ghost's in delves will block you 🧐 How the heck can a ghost with no substance to it block you? 😂

    How are you hitting that ghost with a sword or arrows?
