Hi,

I'm feeling really dumb and a bit frustrated. I'm new to these games and
thought I had learned a lot in the few days since I bought the game...BUT, I
have just arrived to talk to Jaufree and I can't for the life of me figure
out how to give him the amulet. There is no conversation box coming up.
Just me standing there like a fool. All that is showing is a 'red hand' and
I don't want to steal anything from him. (Same with the monk downstairs)

When I try to take the amulet out of my inventory, it says I try to put it
on but it falls off from my neck. How do I engage him in conversation or
give him the amulet?

Thank you!

Quit sneaking/crouching when you talk to him.

I wish that were the problem...I haven't tried sneaking anywhere yet. If
anything, I'm always running!

Can't remember which conversation box it is but it may be one where you
have to use the scroll bar on the left hand side. I mention this as I
missed this a few times before I realised!

So you don't have the 'eye' around your cursor? Remember that the Ctrl
key toggles sneak, and doesn't need to stay pressed, so you can easily
have it on accidentally.

Lft Ctrl.

To the OP the red hand indicates that you are in sneak mode as others have
said. If you are moving quickly then you also have Caps Lock which toggles
run on/off.

You have to be sneaking if you are seeing the red hand. It only comes up on
npc's when you try to pickpocket (while sneaking).

Seems unanimous (at least from the info I gave you) that I'm accidently in
sneak mode. I'll check it out soon, (I'm on my laptop right now).

But, to answer one question that was asked... I DO see the 'eye' cursor when
I'm moving but it changes to the red hand when I place it over an NPC or
Jaufree. I'm a big adventure gamer and you always click on a person to talk
to them and I think I need to stop doing that. ; ) Which leads me to 2
questions:

Do you just have to be near a person for the conversation box to appear?
When you are in sneak mode, can you use either perspective or view?

Thanks again!

If you see the 'eye' then you 'are' in sneak. In sneak mode the action you
would normally make to talk to a person (spacebar) instead leads you to pick
their pockets and this doesn't get the same reaction at all Yes you have
to be near a person for the conversation (or red hand if you're going to
pick their pockets) to appear. I'm not sure what you mean by perspective or
view sorry - others might.

The game has 2 perspectives- 1st person and 3rd person. One where you see
your character and one where you only view what the character is viewing.
The one time I tested out the sneak mode, I saw my character (3rd person).
I curious if you can 'sneak' in 1st person perspective.

Regarding my other question, which I probably stated poorly... I realize you
need to be near the person to have a conversation...what I should have said
is being near the person the only 'trigger' you need for the conversation
box to appear.

Thanks for your help! It's much appreciated!

Aah I see. I completely forgot it had 3rd person - never use it. I always
sneak in 1st person (I'm a thief/assassin) so yes it's possible (and for me
quite normal)

AFAIK yes, or to be exact - being close and looking at that person

No probs tho' I'm a newb to this type of game myself and still learning
