Read shard/loot while the NPC with dialogue is nearby

[Kekuy]

How the hell do you interact with objects when you got some dialogue prompt?
A lot of merchants have some shards/loot really close to them so you can't loot/read them.

Hello? Anyone help?

It's literally as simple as positioning yourself/cursor in a way that only highlights the shard/loot.. I've never had a problem getting around this whatsoever personally.

Doesn't work for me, usually I have to run in really fast and read/loot before the dialogue popup appears.

To be fair, if you're using a controller, it might be harder to get the degrees of angles with a KB+M

Where specifically are you having this issue?

There's a lot of bad placements in the game, but through sheer persistence I've always managed to find an angle.

In the medpoint shop NE of Regina fixer. There's a shard right on the counter and a container next to the shopkeeper.
Even when I'm facing 180 from the shopkeeper the dialogue is still there.

Same problem here it’s Roger Wang I believe I can’t get it I’ve tried attacking him with grenades to make him run I’ve tried bringing up hacks idk I can’t pick it up

[wgcutless.ttvYT]

Oh I just figured it out move outside of the shop and sprint back in and it will cause him to do a brief animation where he crosses his arms and gives a weary “yes?” Remark as u enter and u can interact with things other than him while he is uncrossing him arms and returning them to the counter there’s also a container behind him near the door

Very solid of you to come back and tell everyone how you got it to work. I will think of you every time I read, uh... Pain Editors and Mortality Rates.

To the next person who finds this page because they're trying to read that datashard: In that same building, there's a hidden access point on an antenna on the roof. The ladder to get to it is in the alleyway. Also, there's an app for Android on the Play Store that will solve the breach protocol minigame by simply pointing your phone's camera at your screen. So install it, and enjoy the free 4,000 eddies.
