NPC dialog bug

Hi all.

I have recently encountered a bug where a number of NPCs won't talk to me when I click them, such as Bodahn the dwarf merchant in the party camp and the bartender in the Gnawed Noble Tavern, who I need to speak to in order to finish a quest.

This appears to affect all saves on the character concerned. Would re-installing the game fix this, or is there another fix available?

Thanks

  • This is not a problem others have reported.

    Which platform are you on?

    If PC, any mods installed?

    @cosades27 Generally when this issue occurs try reloading saves and/or quick traveling as doing so will usually help "stuck" objects or NPCs get unstuck. Leaving the area entirely and returning may help too. 

    @ThandalNLyman This actually is an issue that others have reported and the fix is generally quite easy, would recommend making a note of it if you ever see it happen when playing yourself.

  • @EA_Darko;  Well, the OP did say that the problem was occurring "with all saves...."

    And in almost ten years of playing DAO, and helping others in on-line communities numbering in the millions who are playing it, I've never heard of this issue. But almost all of that was on the PC.  (Which is why I asked which platform.)

    @ThandalNLyman A quick search of this forum brings up people reporting this issue as does a fast google search. It's always best to check these things out before stating that others have not reported it.

    @cosades27 Were you able to get anywhere in fixing this?

    I am going to try uninstalling the game and re-installing after backing up my saves, see if that works.

    Thanks

    I have tried repairing the game in Origin and re-installing the game but that has had no effect. The issue is not with just one character but all characters I have saves for.
