ItWhen pressing X to talk to an NPC, it's possible to get stuck in a situation where the perspective shifts to a conversation but:
1) all UI is removed, and
2) absolutely no controller or keyboard buttons bring up any sort of UI, much less cancel or start the conversation.
The only workaround I've found is to force quit and restart the game.
A few places in the internet (1, 2, 3) suggest possible workarounds, but none of these have worked for me reliably. (And some are not possible in some places — e.g. the construction UI is not possible to open inside a space station.)
