Companions aren't bantering?
I have noticed that my companion only banter about once in every area. I've heard from others that they banter far more often, approximately every 10 minutes. I tried to vary where I take my compani...

Repost from BSN:
I’m glad for this thread. Something feels off for me. It’s definitely not a lot of banter; it’s hard to say specifically but I’d guess that over the 60–70 h played, I’m probably somewhere around two to three dozen dialogues—and I switch my party around pretty consistently.
It’s certainly not every few minutes, or even every half hour.
I haven’t noticed a huge variance by region. I basically never use a mount. (It’s not timer triggered off dismounts is it? )
Of characters, I’d say that Sera initiates conspicuously more banters than anyone. It could be that as much as half of mine have been with her. (Realization: that’s probably why I like having her around so much. She feels more alive than the rest, aside from her personality?)
PC, English. I have all subtitles on. I play with headphones so it seems unlikely that I’d just not hear it.
ETA: Does anyone with this problem have a twitch or similar that has/would record gameplay? I don’t know if it’d be useful for debugging. I’m also happy to stream if someone from BW wants to watch, let me know and I’ll find the time.
Just chiming in, to say that I am also having the same problem. I played about 25 hours in my first game, and then realized that my Dragon Age Keep selections had not been loaded properly, so I started over, and have about 20 hours into this playthrough. I have heard 4 instances of dialogue total. Two of them were between Varric and Solas, one between Varric and Cassandra, and one between Sera and Solas. Of those, only the Sera/Solas banter occurred during my current playthrough.
I hope you find a fix soon, as I am not going to play this game, if I am not getting the full experience.
PC. "Regular" edition.
I'm sad! I have been playing 90 hours and I'm almost done with the game (focusing on side quests) I had no idea this was a glitch! My companions have maybe bantered a total of six times... They're silent nearly always. No matter how many different companions I use. (PC, Preloaded)
I also RARELY hear background music!
if by banter you mean they talk together, i notified, when i'm reloading a save to reset a chest content, they begin to talk together (Cole Cassandra, Cassandra Solas, Cassandra Varric, Cole bi... lady, Cole Blackwawll)...
But they only "banter", i mean talk together, when i go in my kitchen, and let the controller in the lounge, i mean, if you stay to a place more than 2-3 minutes they will start to talk ...
And usually, when you wait without moving, in a place without enemy...
