       I believe you are correct in that there is no way to face a

       Can you explain why you might need to face a direction without

At the moment all action who needs a direct facing to a tile next to you.

Thats the skills lockpicking and singing for example. For singing the face
action
is hard at the moment because you must direct face the monster but you
should not
hit him, wich ends in strange move actions.

Mainly, its a kind of game style, simply to face north when you will,
instead of looking
how you can move to face so without hit something.
