Cole's Done Strange Things can't progress

So one of the conversation paths with Cole involves his having burned turnips and stolen daggers etc. Except that I completed the game of hunt the random conversing NPCs for all but the daggers and bread, and now haven't been able to find them for the last 60 HOURS of gameplay. I've looked by the gate every time I've returned to Skyhold, and no conversation. So those are dead ends, and I can't complete the conversation with Cole. What do I do? Am I missing something here? Do I need to complete the whole game first?

  • Sorry, can't help you find the convos...I didn't find all of them and didn't even try....but I may get myself in trouble here.....but I THINK all companion dialog stops once you finish the game....

  • I believe this mission ends when you tigger his next personal mission. I think that's after you complete the storyline involving the Grey wardens.

    I've tried before and after Here Lies the Abyss, and after triggering Cole's personal questline, and reloaded a save before Here Lies the Abyss was even triggered. Nothing gets me those NPCs I need to listen to. I'll be keeping an eye out until the end of the game of course, but it seems a bit ridiculous that I could do most of this as soon as I got to Skyhold and have to wait so long for the rest - seems like a bug.

  • I've done multipule playthroughs and was able to do Cole's Odd thing option, (even with Deluxe & Frostback DLCs in place) on my 360. Recently I've run into problems where one specific lady at the gate or it vanished entirely on my Xbox One. I could still look for every other option after I made cole more like a spirit (sided with mages). On my playthrough with making Cole a Human (sided with templars) however, I lost it completely, it even vanished from Cole's conversation options. The only difference, other than the systems, seems to be the fact i have Descent & Trespasser installed. Bcuz I was still able to do the odd things on my 360 after I made him more human.

    You could try uninstalling Trespasser (if you have it) and playing the game without but it would remove all the new bonuses from the game, seems like that odd things may or may not be as important?

    I was thinking of trying to track it all down on a new playthrough, but I currently have two going and they're both bugged and probably won't start a new one for some time.
