Oghren Not Showing Up In Party Selection Menu?

[ZenMusic00]

The only mods I have pertaining to companions are Karma's Origins Companions mod and Ser Gilmore companion mod. Shortly before this happened, I recruited someone called Leske during the Jarvia quest, and I also have Ser Gilmore, Adela and Tamlen as companions. When I finished the Oghren cutscene before going into the Deep Roads, I went into the Party Selection Menu and Oghren wasn't there. When I went to the gate Captain, Oghren was not in the scene and after the scene had finished, he just stood there and I could not interact with him whatsoever. I know you do not have to take Oghren with you until the Anvil Of The Void, but he still should be showing up in the Party Selection menu. Maybe Leske has taken his spot or something? Has anyone else had this problem and if so, how did you get past it?

Have you recruited Oghren? As in said "yes, I want you to come with me" I don't think that you can avoid recruiting him, but some mods change Core resources. I can't remember where Oghren is (exactly) on Karma's Party Picker, but Leske and Oghren are not standing in the same location.

 

You also had three 'not Bioware' Companions in the party and that may have interfered. I wouldn't have thought that it would, but the possibility exists.

You don't "Recruit" Oghren. He forces himself into your party when you head past the Mines Commander into the Deep Roads. He won't appear in the Party Picker until you do that.

Some mods change Core resources. And therein lies the problem. If the Hire Oghren conversation has been changed.... what is described could occur.

 

It is also possible that the partypicker isn't installed correctly so Oghren was on the party picker, but not visible. With 3 'not Bioware' Companions in the party, other odd things may have happened.

 

I would go back to a SaveGame before the conversation with the Mine Commander and select a party with some Bioware Companions in it and try the conversation again. There is insufficient information to figure out what happened.

On Karma's party picker, Oghren is in the center towards the back. If you do not have Karma's party picker correctly installed or have a mod conflict, he might be hidden under the floor. Leske is 2 steps up and a bit to the right of Oghren.

I tried both of these things, and the same thing happens : Oghren stands there, and I am unable to interact with him. But when I go to talk to thw Captain that allows entrance into the Deep Roads, his character moves to where he would be in the scene, but again, I cannot seem to interact with him. I did install Karma's Origins Companions again before loading these saves.

Are all other Companions showing up correctly on the PartyPicker?

 

Who was in your party during the cutscene with Oghren?

[ZenMusic00]

Alistair, Morrigan, Wynne and I have the Dog Companion mod that allows you to have him as a fifth party member. I also tried this with Ser Gilmore, Adela and Tamlen.

[mcgoy]

And is everyone else showing up correctly in the party picker? No one half buried in the floor?

 

Try testing with a 'mod free' party. All vanilla companions, Dog not in the party as the 5th Companion.

 

On the surface, this sounds like a mod conflict and that one of the mods you have installed makes changes to the Mine Commander's dialogue. I didn't think that Karma made any changes to the conversation with the Mine Commander, but I could be mistaken. I think that she has a list of files that she changed so you can check. Companion mods are not the only mods that make changes to Core resources. There are several that I won't mention by name that make ENORMOUS changes to the Core resources.

 

It sounds like you are going to have to do the steps of removing mods one by one until you find the one that is causing this problem. As far as I know, this is not a known bug with the vanilla Dragon Age Origins.
