Can't use keys or items on NPCs

[FriskyFritz]

I just recently got this game, and there is no tutorial for it, I have a key to unlock the door in the brig [The Master Key] and simply clicking on the door when I hover the mouse over it when I get the option to "unlock the door" I am just forced in a constant repeat of dialogue with The Prisoner.

Now that wasn't so bad since I found out he doesn't add much to the story, but the next one has two wounded people in the Heads or Tails questline. I actually have the medical items they need in order for me to heal them, want to know the best part? There is no way for me to use these items on them since I don't see any option or choice to click to heal them.

How do you even do that? I wish this game had a friendlier UI for new users who don't know the controls.

to heal Npcs or team mate PUT First healing Kit in your quick slots then just select healing kit or else in your quick slot bar and target who you want to heal

Bump. I'm having the same problem -- whenever I try to use the key or pick the lock, it just starts the conversation with the prisoner again. Am I crazy? Am I doing something wrong? I'm just clicking the locked door (when I hover over it it says "use key etc.". Anyone else getting this bug?

Reload previous save fixed it for me

I tried reloading, maybe 50 times. Not even exaggerating. In the end I found a fix as well -- there is a TINY spot on very bottom left of the door where if you press it, it will actually perform the action you want (use key or picklock the gate if you don't have the key) instead of initiating the conversation with the prisoner once again.
