Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - Technical Issues Bugged companion

I recruited Jahan at the earliest possible point, and after investigating the murder scene and teleporting to the homestead, my party and I returned (a friend joined in co-op, and I initiated the teleport back) to the Cyseal north gate, and when both our companions became available to talk, I was unable to talk to Jahan.

It's been stuck as such since then, and subsequently, we got dragged into combat by me stupidly pickpocketing in the market square. We entered combat, but Jahan remained outside of combat, and could attack all the participants uninterrupted, the same way as when out of combat. He killed all the combatants unopposed and is still unable to be interacted with (but can be controlled).

Figured I'd report the bug.

Yes, i have the same problem - and it is impossible to talk to him, so you can not kick him out of the group.

I am also having this problem. It's happened to one of my main characters, it happened between killing unlocking the third "room" and returning to the forest to do some things I missed.

This happened to me and my friend just after we entered Luculla forest. The character I was controlling (my friend was hosting) was unable to speak to anyone and would not enter combat properly. It also wasn't able to take any damage, even through status effects. Changing areas and reloading the game doesn't fix it, and the last save we have is quite a few hours back.

Thanks

Update: I believe we fixed it! Although the character couldn't talk to NPCs, we managed to get it talking to the Death Shrine in Luculla. This seems to have kicked it back into action, the character can enter combat again, too!

So try finding an object that you use with the cogs icon that starts dialogue, see if that works.

This happened to me aswell (no idea how), but one of the objects which fixed it for me was the last chest the homestead. You get access to this really early in the game. Thanks a lot for the "fix".

I have the same problem but I'm too far of the Death Shrine (since I'm level 3 on this save) and the Last chest doesn't fix me.
I can talk to him with Jahan but it doesn't fix the bug.

Edit: I used the bugged char to go to the Death Temple (easy since he can't enter fights). It did fix me if I talk to the temple then I suicide on the lava. With just the talk, it still was bugged.
I can suicide before talking to the temple and can't talk if I do not suicide.
