Dialogue bug. (Consistent / Annoying, obviously. =p)

[maximizers]

Hello there prospective reader!

Here I am again, grappling with Fallout 4, taking up your time and meta-physically hugging you for even bothering to read this. (If you're fine with that I mean, meta-physical handshakes work too. >_>) Anyway, I'll get down to brass tax. (tacks?) My issue is... Hard to describe properly. But at a certain point in a playthrough, NPCs will just refuse to speak with me. I'll get some standard 'filler' lines out of them. But the dialogue wheel itself just won't open. =/

I've tried reverting to an earlier save to no avail.

It's twice now that this issue has cropped up, both times around the 40 - 45 hour mark.

I do have mods installed, and I'll post my load order below.

I have not completed the main quest, but I've done both Far Harbor and Nuka World.

 

( Sorry If I seem demanding, or catty in my post. I'm pretty fed up with Fallout right now. ;~; )

what some lament as 'catty', others find as 'personality' ehehe.

I share your lamenting of fallout 4. it is clunky isn't it?

 

I digress, to your question at hand;

I had similar issues with dialog on both Console and PC versions...

it involved walking away from someone with a dialog tab open.

after a process of elimination, I found it was Strong -

I'd walked away maybe in a battle, and when I approached Strong,

the dialog box was already open.

I completed the dialog, and it worked properly after that.

 

sometimes, it can be as simple as that - a dialog box process is already open,

and if you review the papyrus logs, that can be the cause.

 

it can also be 'playerfactionstate' - basically, bad karma.

accidentally shoot a BoS too many times, they wont talk, yet are not outright angry.

kill a diamond city guard? they wont talk, none of the vendors either...

companions - if you do stuff they hate, and then immediately do stuff they love,

sometimes they'll turn hostile anyway, and you cant talk to them...

 

I hope this gives some options...

my code-fu is woeful in FO4, so I wouldn't be able to do much more Im afraid.

good luck, and let us know how you get on

Thanks for the reply! (And a fairly speedy one at that. =D)

 

I hope it's something that simple!

Unfortunately... I'm not sure which dialogue I would have left open... o.o

I'm a little skeptical seeing as I can still open dialogue with companions and certain NPCs.

Yet most vendors and quest givers are bugged to their breaches. >_<

 

I'll keep tinkering and looking around, for now I'm just starting new games over and over again to combat the error. <=/

Well! New game, took some time to invest in Fallout 4 once more. Unfortunately... It's happened once again, Sixteen hour mark this time. It's always a select few NPCs that I'm unable to speak with... KLEO, Trudy, Carla, Daisy, etc. Companions still have their dialog wheels as far as I know! And the Diamond City vendors seem peachy.

 

I Just.... Blargh. :_:
