I started a new playthrough after waiting for a bit after Patch 5 figuring there'd need to be some bug fixing and to my delight, a hotfixed dropped. So I'm playing through, I follow the instructions (which I have to look up so I don't screw it up somehow still), knock out Minthara, play the game, reach Moonrise, rescue her and...

She's as talkative as Trainer Red at the top of Mt. Silver. I can't talk to her at all, can't add her to my party, she just stands there like a dumbass and doesn't even turn hostile when I attack, kill, and resurrect her. So I lookup a "fix" and find out I just need to go back to before I arrived at Moonrise, travel back to the Goblin Camp and initiate a dialogue with her there. How much game time am I losing for this? THREE AND A HALF HOURS! So I try to reload the game and CRASH! Come on, man! This is insane. I'm not even trying to romance her on this playthrough, I just want to see the character work right for once... Anyways, does anyone know any mods that can do an effective debug of this issue? Because I'm tired of replaying several hours of this game that I just completed to fix a single broken character.
Other info: I have no mods. I don't use them.
