What. A. Pain. 

In Class: `BP_Clarice`

For the main NPC that guides the player - Clarice - I wanted a high degree of interactability.

Here are some learning from implementing:

## Thank you
A big thank you to Joshua "MordenTral" Statzer (Developer of the VREP) who took personal time to look into my issues with grabbing Skeletal Meshes. The first and only time someone helped me out personally in this project, and also doing so in their free time.
