They refuse to talk!

[Snakeyestx]

Hello all,

 

Really suprised how many mods were out for NV already. Originally ran through the story after exploring everything, then backpedaled a few saves and started modding (doesn't that usually happen to everyone?).

 

The first time I noticed the issue was actually with the vanilla character Lady Jane. She seems to be hanging out right outside the North gate and when I try to talk to her, it zooms in, and right back out. No dialogue at all. Since I had already done the debt collector quests, I didn't give it much thought.

 

Then I started adding mods :

 

Herculines Shojo companions (with required other addons) - this worked for a while but then after adding a few more companions, and a few quests, they do the zoom-in, zoom-out no speak thing too. All 13 of them will do this.

 

Misty, companion near Primm - zoom-in, zoom-out

 

AEGIS99's stealth armors quests - Kari Wong zoom-in, zoom-out, no speak

 

There are a couple others that escape me now but I'm not sure if this is a conflict with something in vanilla or the mods themselves. Anyone have any ideas?

I doubt this happens in pure vanilla. I have added some quests recently and I get the zoom-in-zoom-out when the NPC has no valid lines of dialog to speak. For example, maybe all their dialog is collected into one quest, but the quest does not have "start game activated" checked in the quest data tab. I am sure there are other reasons it could happen, such as incorrect conditions in all the GREET topics.
