[LE] Walk away option in the Topic Info doesn't work properly

[starkbee]

Hello there!

I am currently going through the Creation Kit Quest Design tutorials, and I am stuck on the "Coming Back Later" part (link).

 

Here's my issue:

- I am working on a test quest in the Creation Kit for SSE.

- In the quest, NPC offers the player a quest through dialogue.

- The player has two possible responses: one accepts the quest ("Okay, I will help you") and the other declines it but leaves the possibility of accepting it later ("Sorry, not this time").

- I want the quest to be declined if the player doesn't choose either of the responses and simply walks away. So, I've added a "Walk away" option, after which the NPC reacts as if the player has declined the quest (see screenshot).

- However, when I test the quest in the game, walking away only declines the quest only on the second or the third attempt. Morevoer, the NPC never utters denial response "Well, fine then"; he either remains silent or gives a generic "Goodbye" response.

 

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a solution in the Creation Kit tutorial.

How can I fix this problem? Could it be due to the absence of an audio recording for the NPC's responses, or might there be another reason?
