"Monster Hunter: Wilderness" is the latest work under the Monster Hunter IP. When a player is close to an NPC, there will most of the time be a dialogue icon above the NPC's head. This means that players can have conversations with the NPC.

When you are close to a character you can talk to, the character's name will be displayed above the character's head.
Once you get closer, you can talk to the character when the "Talk" option is displayed.
