Everytime stroud talks dialogue stops, anyone else get this?

I have this same problem! It's the only real dialogue error I've encountered and it is always with Stroud. In fact, I am unable to advance in the story because he is hanging up in one scene in the Western Approach and hitting X won't fix it.

I'm on Xbox One.

As the 2nd post mentioned I'm getting the same error. It actually soft locks the game, as you can't skip the conversation when it freezes. I was able to restart the console and progress past that part, however it was timing specific it seemed. There's a couple of other instances that this occurs as well. Hopefully it can get patched soon.

Forgot to mention that this is on Xbox One.

it froze for me too at that point, i waited 10 minutes though then x did let me advance, still frustrated with the missed dialogue though and pray it doesn't happen further in.

Happened to me last night! Glad I found your post, I'll try waiting and hitting 'x' again to get through. As everything else I've tried has failed fix this so far.

I'm on 360 and I have a different person there, but still have that problem.

Hi all,

I just had this problem, left Stroud standing there waiting to give his lines, while looking for answers online, and then he started talking like nothing happened.

It maybe lasted 2-3 mins then he would speak, and the scene would move forward.

Happened one more time in the scene at the Western Approach, but I was able to get all the dialoue.

While not ideal, patience will give you access to the full scene, hope this helped.

I've got this with Alexia or whatever his name is... the Magister who's the main antagonist in the whole 'Recruit the rebel mages' story. RIght at the end of it, after a tough boss-fight, he falls to his knees... and then, nothing. The game just hangs there, waiting for him to start talking, but nothing ever happens. I can still access the menus, and everyone's still moving slightly, but... gah!

I'll try the whole 'just leave him there for a while' method, but that means I'll have to beat the boss for a THIRD time - already tried a second time just to see if it was a recurring issue. >.< Seriously, what is UP with these kinds of 'showstopper' bugs being in a supposedly triple-A game? This isn't some kind of indie Early Access where you can understand that the players have to help with the bug-hunting. I'm pretty sure EA can afford to hire actual testers. ~_~

Having the exact same issue here.  I'm on PS4, so it doesn't appear console specific. Every time Stroud speaks -- freezes.

Can we get a patch for this sooner rather than later please? 

I had the same problem as the second commenter. Get to the Western Approach >>> Certain scene happens that involves killing some friendly Demons >>> Dialogue incurs >>> Stroud gets stage fright >>> Have to close application and reboot Dragon Age.

And this is happening for me on PS4.

LMAO at "stage fright" but yes I had this same issue on the 360.  After reloading for the 5th time because it wouldnt let me do anything the conversation proceeded a little further then stopped again so I just waited.  After about a minute things moved long and I was able to continue thank the maker.  I agree with other posts saying to wait it out for a bit.  Just a shame though because I pretty much missed all of his dialogue since I had to press x to get things moving along.

Also want to note after putting over 90 hours into this game so far I luckily did not have any issues until this part.
