In terms of attacking in conversation, it might interest you to know that on the bottom left of your screen, where some of your buttons are during cutscene dialogue, one of those buttons is a crossed sword icon (or a sword of some sort). That's the "I'm done talking, attack them" button, and it's always available.
That is exactly the problem ...
It isnt anymore.

See?
