Having my first battle with a blood dragon last night, absolutely epic it was. Lasted about 20 minutes and I was getting so close to killing the damn thing. Low on potions, Annette cowering on the rocks almost dead.

And then some NPC casually walks up to me - through a wall of fire, right next to the dragon which is on the ground, about to die - and engages me in conversation. Which gave the dragon enough time to kill me whilst I scrabble to try and get rid of the dialogue.

I can deal with glitches and other bugs but that really [censored] me off. Is there any way to stop NPCs forcing me to engage in conversation during the most critical of moments? It kinda ruined my evening.
