Fixing dialogue problem

[MetallicDinosaur]

I recently wanted to add dialogue to a follower that I made, but when I started the game all of the other npcs were using that dialogue. I went into geck and deleted the conversation but now when I play the game there is no option of "I have to go now" or "Goodbye" for any of the other npcs. How can I restore that?

Hello there!

 

First, a word on why the dialogue wasn't showing up. When you add dialogue for a follower/NPC, it must be conditionalized to a particular person or persons to say, otherwise, EVERYONE will say it.

 

Here are a couple of tutorials to help you with that.

These will also show you why the dialogue options you deleted have now disappeared.

 

To restore, you have 2 options (there maybe others, but I haven't had to restore dialogue in a couple of years)

 

1st: Just do a reinstall

 

2nd: In the topics tab, in the left panel, right click to open up a new box that will have a list of topics in it, right click and make a new topic (name it AAgoodbye for ease), double click it, then just add the info for what the npc will say, make sure the "top-level" and "goodbye" markers are checked, and do not add a condition for this one.

 

Hope this helps
