Delayed Dialogue: "I think I found that Hull Breach you mentioned"-Shepard

Hello. In Mass Effect 3 during the Geth Dreadnought mission, Shepard has delayed dialogue where he says "I think I found that Hull Breach you mentioned" during a Geth fight shortly after you get the Arc Pistol. You can tell it is delayed because Tali is on the radio when she is right next to Shepard. That dialogue is supposed to be played after Shepard crosses the docking tube. You can found video of this bug in this Reddit page: https://www.reddit.com/r/masseffect/comments/nm0zig/think_i_found_that_hull_breach_you_mentioned/

  • Encountered this as well, on Xbox One. There was no dialogue as I walked through the hull breach room after exiting the docking tube, where this line normally plays.

  • Happened to me too.  I've played ME3 enough times to know that as soon as you load into the ship, Shepard says "I'm inside....", then Tali explains how the admirals voted for or against the geth war.  I was able to get the dialogue to trigger by reloading the autosave that happens as soon as you enter the ship.  On Xbox One also, btw.

  • @admiralnova64a small dialogue is missing as well, right after you board. there was one in the old trilogy talking about were to find the console to let the team board. Saying something like i: think i found that... you were talking about. Can't remember exacly how it was.

  • The entire conversation between entering the ship after the docking tube and the cutscene where your squadmates arrive was missing for me. A transcript of the dialogue that didn't play for me is below (this might change slightly if Tali is not an admiral, I'm not sure. In any case she was in my playthrough).

    Shepard: I’ve got gravity again.

    Tali: Great, I’m looking for… got it, there should be a hull breach not far from your position. The nearest undamaged docking tube is on the other side.

    S: Think I found that hull breach you mentioned.

    T: Admiral Gerrel tried a frontal assault. We lost six frigates. That tiny hole was the only damage we did.

    S: I wouldn’t call it tiny. Not the way you’d have done it?

    T: No, he was too aggressive. I argued, but as admiral of the heavy fleet it was ultimately his decision.

    S: Hm, what about the other admirals?

    T: Xen backed the invasion, largely as a chance to test her toys. Raan gave provisional support. Only Koris opposed the war with me, and he was right, we could lose the whole fleet Shepard.

    S: We’ll get your people out of here safely.

    [on entering the next room]

    S: I found another airlock, I think we’re good to go.

    T: Great, if you override the controls we’ll be right there.

    This worked for me as well. Annoying that it doesn't play normally anymore, but at least it's not lost forever. I'll just have to stop and load the auto-save every time.

  • Call me crazy but I think this isn't the only delayed audio on ME3 LE that is delayed, I have the romance scene on the Cerberus Assault bugged as well, when Ashley starts speaking about what's wrong you hear the dialog but her lips won't move and then the mouth moves without words (I read somewhere that Kaidan Alenko also has some bugs in this part). I mean we are getting close to that final mission after Cerberus Assault (Priority Earth should have been a Collector Assault but way bigger) which was lacking and then we have to content with all these audio bugs.

  • @draconiam That's a different issue than the one described here. This is for audio that should play while walking around, and (for me, at least) it doesn't play at all unless I reload the save. If you consistently have the issue you've described I'd recommend making a separate thread, or finding an existing one for the same issue.

  • @draconiamCheck this thread I started about a month ago. Sounds like the same issue I had. I linked some vids I put on my Twitter, and if this is the issue you are having, make a reply to bump it up the list. It will probably get buried again, but worth a shot anyway.
