I know this is a major necro, but I've been struggling with this issue again.
I've found a workaround that actually works, without having to reinstall.
This error only happens with Legacy installed - I was experimenting, and discovered that if you update to 1.04 without Legacy, it's fine. Some more playing, and I have a workaround that works without killing saves:
1. go to your program files -> DA2 folder -> addins
2. In addins, find prc_drk_ something
3. inside that folder, open module
4. select teh 'patch' folder, and "cut" it to the desktop
Play Seb's quests - it should work perfectly normally
Replace the patch folder when you are done.
You could just delete the patch folder completely, but then you won't get the dialogue fixes it got in 1.04

@tyrium88; I will have to experiment with this, (I have the more minor endless "loading..." message glitch with "The Exiled Prince".)

But CONGRATULATIONS for finding a workaround for this issue! It's been a real puzzler.

Heya, I got the endless loading glitch in Repentence - this fixes that 🙂

Interesting workaround, thanks for that. I'll forward it to the team that is looking into this.

And 7 years later this has never been fixed.

Of course not. All work on DA2 stopped with the last patch (1.04) that was issued over a year after the game's release. That's as long, or longer, than most games get support from the studio.
Hoping for a fix 10 years later is simply wishful thinking. (Plus, [Esc] works fine to get past the glitch.)
