PS4, in conversations often can't choose anything

Around half the time when I enter a cutscene with dialog, I can't select any dialog from the wheel. Nothing happens at all when I try to select anything with the controller. However I can select spells by pressing L2, which seems pretty strange. I have to restart the game and load the latest save and then sometimes Iit works but other times I have to try a few times. Anyone know what that is all about?

  • Well, I encountered this problem too in 360. Pressing X or square in your case often did the trick by jumping the dialogues. (But what's the point in doing that in a Bioware game?)... Sadly I encountered a problem with Secret Companion and now my game went completely useless as I can't go beyond a conversation halfway through the game.

  • I am on ps4 as well.

    My first conversation with Cassandra it came to my part to choose a dialogue option.  My wheel never popped up and I just stood there staring blankly at her.  Eventually the conversation moved on.  Minutes later I was talking to Cullen and I clicked on a dialogue option and a codex entry popped up on my screen.

    I have noticed a steady increase where someone is talking and my wheel is greyed out.  I hop about like a loon  trying to get it to load properly until it finally does.  I think this happens more if I accidently walk around when someone is talking to me.

    I have had this happen on PC, the dialog wheel becomes unresponsive to mouse neither highlighting on mouse over or accepting mouse clicks, luckily keyboard shortcuts for dialog choices continue to work.

    I've been having this problem on PC, sometimes the dialogue wheel will only have the goodbye option, and half the time I can't even select it. Other times I can't even start the dialogue wheel, but both characters are standing there like they're talking and I can't move.

    This is happening to me too on PS4 during those times when optional contextual dialog options appear. I want to respond, but none of the commands on my controller allow me to choose dialog, and because its,only available for a short time, it ends up disappearing before I can choose anything. R3 worked for me once, but hasnt again.
