Party banter disappeared with patch 3
Prior to patch 3 updating automatically I had no issues whatsoever with party banter not triggering as reported by several players - after this patch installed I get nothing,absolutely nothing at all...

Heya everyone,
The studio is investigating this issue and would really appreciate the following information:
- What Platform are you playing the game on? If PC, can you provide a DxDiag?
- What areas have you been in when the problem was reported? Have you already entered the Hinterlands? Are you mostly spending time on Critical Path plots?
- What is the the Race/Class/Gender combination of your Inquisitor?
- What followers are you using at the time?
- How would you describe your play-style? How are you moving around in areas? For example, are you using the mount? Are you playing a mage and using Blink to move around areas?
- Are you engaging in regular combat? (Are you in combat every 30 seconds?) Are you playing in heavy-combat zones where non-player factions are fighting each other?
- How many hours have you spent in your current playthrough? (the one you are experiencing the banter issues in)
- Where do you expect banter to be firing?
If anyone has any experience with video capture, we would greatly appreciate that as well. We are looking for the following:
- With three followers, idle in a safe area in an exploration zone. Be away from any combat including enemy factions who are fighting each other. A good place to do this would be right outside of the first Inquisition Camp in the Hinterlands. You must ensure that no combat is nearby for this test to be valid.
- Enable subtitles
- Idle for 30 minutes while running video capture – banter should be heard at least once. Alternately, you could idle for 60 minutes – banter should fire at least twice.
- Upload your video and share the link with us here.
Thank you very much for your help in advance!
- What Platform are you playing the game on? If PC, can you provide a DxDiag?
Playing on PC.
- What areas have you been in when the problem was reported? Have you already entered the Hinterlands? Are you mostly spending time on Critical Path plots?
In current game, the only one I played after installing patch 3, I finished Hinterlands, got to Skyhold and currently exploring Storm Coast.
- What is the the Race/Class/Gender combination of your Inquisitor?
Elfe/rogue archer/female.
- What followers are you using at the time?
For now on it's Solas/Dorian/Iron Bull. Before Dorian was switched by Cassandra.
- How would you describe your play-style? How are you moving around in areas? For example, are you using the mount? Are you playing a mage and using Blink to move around areas?
Making all area visible, visiting every place and collecting all stuffs I can in there. I'm not using mount, nor any abilities to travel.
- Are you engaging in regular combat? (Are you in combat every 30 seconds?) Are you playing in heavy-combat zones where non-player factions are fighting each other?
Regular combat when I have enemies on my way (of course), but I'm not really running after them. I'd say I'm in combat every 2-4 minutes. The areas weren't really heavy-combat zones.
- How many hours have you spent in your current playthrough? (the one you are experiencing the banter issues in)
About 16-17 hours.
- Where do you expect banter to be firing?
I had maybe two banters in Hinterlands, later on - nothing at all. One or two enviromental comments from companions, last banter I heard was probably some 8 hours ago.
Sorry for my english since I'm not native and I hope works on fixing it will go fine... It cuts off a great part of game.
