PS5- How do I un-target explosive barrels and such?
On PS5… If I walk too close to them, I’m stuck in a attack targeting system that I cannot get out of. Sometimes I can switch party members to fix it, but if the entire party is close enough- everyone is stuck. I’ve had to reload saves because I cannot get out of this.
The game wants me to attack the barrels and won’t let me not do it.
This happens to me on the PC with my xbox gamepad as well. It started recently, since the patch before the ps5 launch, I feel.
The best quick solution on gamepad I found is to short press 'up' on the dpad to enter jumping which cancels the targeting.
Btw, holding up un-/equips the torch, holding down let's you enter stealth (for the whole party, I think) and tapping down let's you immediately examine the targeted object/creature ✌️
Barrelmancy is despicable and no one should do it, even Necromancers are ashamed of this vile practice./s though mostly due to the fact it obliterates their Skeletons/Zombies.
I am not a hoarder if that is what you fear.
I even give back. By spreading them in preparation of battlefields. And come that on some unfortunate event an anemy stands too close to a such a barrel i use fire arrows to redeem both.
PS5. No right mouse button. No equivalent either because no button escapes it. Not enough strength to pick it up, and if I did have it- I don’t want to pick up every barrel in the game because of a bug.
Strenght should no be your issue. but if you have a full inventory it will fail of course.
Spread your freight over your characters, sell the rubbish or send some heavier items to you camp. you will need at least 40kg of free weight to pick those barrels up. You can of couse send them to the camp too, where you later can pick them up again.
I would recommend to always carry one or two of those barrels with you. dropping them before a battle and shoot a fire arrow on them as soon as enemies approach it can gain an insta-win. Af if you discover you did not need it, you can pick up the unused barrel afterwards.
The game wants me to attack the bagels and won’t let me not do it.
To be fair, I have a hard time not attacking the bagels in real life, too.
Does right-clicking an unoccupied space cancel it? (That works for movement, but I don't know if it works for object interactions.)
Honestly, this should be considered a bug. The game teaches you that clicking a barrel means approach and open it, and then after you've learned that through lots of repetition, it tricks you with an exception that explodes in your face. This is Bad UI 101.

Technically this is not correct. Clicking an object tells your character to interact with it.
On barrels you don't know of its content your dude looks into it to see whats inside.
While on barrels where you already know the content you get provided with diffent interaction options.
PS: i more have a problem with random dudes attacking me, or want to jail me just because i look into a container.
But i won't consider it a bug.
Is it better or worse than “I’m casting hex and forget you specify a stat to hex, so I click the enemy before clicking the specific variant of hex, and suddenly I’ve shot the enemy with a light crossbow instead of what I wanted to do”
You may also click the left stick to have a semi-normal cursor and select things that way a bit easier as it's more akin to using the mouse.
I'm actually curious if the game supports M&KB on the PS5. I have it on PC but have been playing with my PS5 controller the whole time, and it has some flaws that require using a mouse to fix. They're super minor, though.
