What does this blue asterisk/star indicate on top of an NPC?
I've just informed the blacksmith that his apprentice is dead, and now he's got an odd icon over his head:
It looks like a blue asterisk or some kind of star. What does this symbol indicate?
Solution 1:
It means they have information for you. If you click on them and select talk, it should provide you new options you haven't seen before (not grayed out).
Solution 2:
It means they have a new dialog or conversation that you can initiate. New topics will be in white text, and ones that you have already heard will be in grey.
