Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Bugs & Technical Problems Game Breaking - Can't Talk After Speaking to NPC

This is game breaking bug. After I speak with Nicholas in Driftwood, the NPC sitting at the picnic blanket, I am unable to speak to any other NPCs. My side characters can still talk to everyone but my character is no longer able to speak with anyone.

I've attempted changing areas, killing off the character and reviving him, and reloading the save and nothing is able to fix it. My only option is to load an earlier save before I speak with Nicholas.

Same problem after talking to that guy. Can someone do something?

Can confirm, having the same problem with Nicholas, gonna see if I can find away around it

I posted a possible fix in this thread of mine if you haven't seen it yet: http://larian.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=614713&

I say 'possible' because you might've progressed far enough to not be able to use the fix I did. If that's the case, I think it works for any encounter wherein an NPC forcefully talks to you.
