I've searched for a long time on the solution for this problem, but the few people I've found to have a similar problem never had it solved or even answered. Whenever I get a follower, the dialogue box pops up just fine for several days. But suddenly, things go wrong and out of nowhere I can no longer talk to that follower. For example, I was doing Dawnguard and was fully capable of initiating dialogue with Serana just fine until recently. Now whenever I press E to talk to her, it only makes the clicking noises as if I'm clicking something invalid. No dialogue box at all. This has happened to several other followers in the past, so it's not dawnguard. I tried set playerfollower count, and I noticed that if I change followercount to anything above 0 and then attempt to talk to the follower (failing miserably), it goes back down to 0. Yes I have UFO but I can't uninstall and reinstall if I can't even dismiss my follower. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
