Party Banter Not Triggering With Certain Companions

I have around 70 hours on the game and have been running Emmrich and Taash together in my party. I was doing just fine with their dialogue triggering until recently, even if I pass through areas that should trigger dialogue between the two nothing happens. I've tried verifying my files, restarting my computer, reloading old saves (which work but play dialogue I've already heard.)

Now, I'm unsure if this is a bug or if perhaps I need to play through the main quest more to open up more dialogue but I just thought it was weird because all my other companions seem to trigger banter just fine. Just wanted to know if I'm the only one running into this because I've combed through the internet and couldn't find anyone with my issue.

    I'm having a similar issue, can't get banter with Lucanis/Harding or Lucanis/Bellara in the last 2-3 days to save my life and they can't possibly be out of banter because they're not my main team. A few other combos too, but not as badly. None of the trigger points set off anything at all, so if I have any of those companions in my team, I'm just running around in dead silence early DAI style. The banter bug was not the cameo I was hoping for!

      Have you been able to fix your problem since writing this? I took a break from the game to wait for the next patch to see if it fixes it but Emmrich and Taash banter still doesn't trigger.

    The banter between the two continue with a conversation (sort of) in Lighthouse. Both will complain about the favorite topic of the other one. Until that matter is settle it will be no more banter. Make a habit when you travel from one area to another to make a stop at lighthouse.
