Interact / Looting distance on PC: Anyone else having to get unnecessarily close?

Sorry for the title: This is regarding Far Cry 4.

This may be related to cranking up the FOV like I did, but it seems like I have to get extremely close to an item or body to interact with it for actions that require a button press (excluding takedowns). Looting chests/bodies, moving bodies, skinning animals Edit: correction, it doesn't seem to apply to skinning. It's getting a bit annoying for situations where I need to use a stealth takedown and immediately move a body, as I just swing my machete around several times before I get the very precise position needed (the angle I have to be facing is also very sensitive).

I don't remember ever having this problem in FC3. Anyone else experiencing this?

Thanks in advance for any help/feedback.

EDIT/UPDATE: From what testing I've done, this definitely seems to be tied to the POV. By lowering my POV by one or two notches, it makes a huge difference in the distance.

I mean, I know by definition POV changes will make a difference on the perceived distance and angle for everything. But this is pretty massive. On one setting you will need to be right up inside of a corpse facing the exact direction to loot it. One or two notches lower in the POV and that range increases by a couple of feet. I don't think it's a depth perception issues, I think changing the POV definitely messes with some targeting values.

Anyway, the game is at least playable now.

FOV seems messed up. It's really.. odd. It doesn't feel right to me at all. Like instead of seeing more horizontally everything is just pushed further away from me. It's hard to describe, but it doesn't feel like it does when I'm playing other games.
