Game breaking bug after ending Alexius fight makes the game unplayable

After the Alxius fight the game hangs. A dialogue wheel is supposed to come up which it does not. There is no way to advance the game.

Here is what I tried sofar with NO effect (UPDATED*):

- mashing escape (only brings up the game menu)

- waiting (after 25 minutes nothing changed)

- making sure main char is not fighting/looting when Alxius dies

- trying different dialogue options before and after the fight

- re-saving/re-loading from several stages just before the fight

- repairing the game in Origin (tried both with old and new saves)

- changing/defaulting keyb/mouse setup

- clearing the cache by restarting pc

- alt tabbing out of the game and back in

- trying to use a potion

- *lowering resolution and/or graphic settings

- *disabling origin overlay in game (re-enabling it crashes the game on start, that was already happing before this bug)

Any solutions left that DO work?

BTW another shining example of why EA rightfully deserves to be the most hated company in the world - who else releases an otherwise beautiful game in an utter **bleep** state like this.

Hi guys!
In case you have not got this working yet ...
If you are on PC - which I am guessing you are because you mentioned pressing escape - the problem is that the combat UI comes up and stops the dialogue choice from appearing.
Fixes that worked for me:
1. Load up the origin overlay after your last dialogue choice and Lelianna heads off with her bow... shift F1? I think lol
2. Opening the console (which I did accidently while testing the origin overlay) by pressing the tilde button ~ also stopped the combat UI from appearing and I could see more of the cutscenes 🙂
You can close both after the dialogue choice with Alexius pops up.

If you try turning down settings(try the minimum possible just for this scene) then load from earlier, does that have any effect?

Also if you have the 60fps cutscene "fix" active, disable it.

Tried as the TC too, and nothing worked. Hope the coming patch fix this.

I had this problem as well. Did the combat UI appear on the screen during the cutscene as well? That was part of it for me.
I know this is probably a long-shot, but have you tried rebooting your computer? I had that problem one day and couldn't get past it no matter how many times I reloaded my save and did the fight again and again, but I tried again the next day and it worked. It's possible that if you keep trying, it will eventually work. Worth a shot while waiting for the fix, right?

@RobsEvilTwin Hey, just so that we have the right data for what works and what doesn't, which fix did you try?

I'm guessing it's Lierah's but having more points of information always helps.

Thanks.
