Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity Original Sin - Beta Unable to talk to certain NPC's and my friend

I am unable to talk to for example Conrad and the vendor of witchcraft/rogue books. I can click on them but no conversation shows. Also the same thing with my companion/friend. Any clue what to do?

Edit:
We have done reloading, closing client and starting again but nothing helps

What is the attitude of those NPCs? They should at least say they don't want to talk to you if it is negative, though...

Save first, then try moving stuff around them, sneak and try getting caught pickpocketing, or do some 'accidental' damage with a weapon or AoE spell effect. Does that start a conversation?

There was an uncmmon bug in the alpha with possibly not being able to talk to NPCs after a certain conversation at the end of the Black Cove. In that case, leaving town through the north or north east gates and returning could fix it.


Please email supportdos@larian.com, with a description of the problem and the report.zip file generated by the D:OS support tool.

Thanks, was able to talk to my friend when we left NE gate.

The attitude was positive so wasn't a problem for the merchants. Went back from NE gate to the vendor but still wasn't able to talk, i moved some item and they started talking to me. after that i was able to talk to her again.
