I've collected quite a few Numis, Specimens, gear etc and finally feel half way comfortable with my controller. I came across one issue just now where I had to bring back something in a bottle to an owl and had to press button one to talk to him. Button one is the same button I use to fire stuff out of the bottle so needless to say, I will have to wait towards the end of the game to do this. I am guessing I will need to change my controller settings. Would it be possible to maybe not allow people to assign button one to talk to characters? Or maybe if this is the only case where this happens, you could allow us to blast that owl with what he wants?
