Npcs speaking context lines found between **

[effbot0176]

Hopefully someone can help me here, Im new to all of this... but the npcs are speaking the context/command prompts located between ** as dialogue lines. For example if an npc is supposed to slam his tankard of ale on the bar, they will look at me and say (slams tankard of ale on bar) as dialogue rather than just performing the action. Can anyone possibly tell me why or how to fix?
