Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems Patch 5 - Halsin won't speak to me after rescuing him

I've just finished the quest to save Halsin, the journal says to meet him in the Grove. I also completed the Investigate Kagha quest, leading her to turn on the Shadow Druids and await judgement.

When I go back to the Grove, Halsin repeats one line "You endangered the Grove, how dare you show your face" to Kagha in front of him. Kagha just stands there. Speaking to Halsin yields generic "Not now/Later/In a moment" voiceless dialogue, and Kagha repeats a generic "Silvanus protect you" dialogue if spoken to.

I've tried saving/loading, fast travelling away and back, entering the cave and coming back out, switching party, attacking them, and skipping the dialogue by triggering the Tiefling Party. At the Tiefling party, Halsin still just repeats his "not now" line if spoken to, but the rest of the party proceeds as normal. After the party he acts normally, the conversation about Moonrise occurs correctly and everything seems fine. Nothing else had any effect.

It seems this bug isn't game breaking, but it does prevent seeing the confrontation between Kagha and Halsin if she decides to surrender to him.

NB. This is the latest build as of posting (Patch 5), I'm not running any mods, and I've encountered no major problems this playthrough save for a few crashes here and there.

Arent you supposed to feast with the tiefling at camp before he converse on moonrise tower?

Yes, but the issue is that no other conversations with him occur until the feast is over - normally there is a conversation between him and Kagha (if she's alive), plus some dialogue during the feast itself. Both are missing for me.

I've come to join in on this fun adventure

I did a dumb, and shortly after rescuing/adding to party to fight our way out (mistakes were made. Damn you dice!) I decided I needed a long rest to get all the spells back.
Now here me out - instead of clicking "Leave Camp" from the teleport screen, I teleported out to the beach to sell at the druids grove. To my confusion, I had to do this one by one, being in camp your party is not grouped.
Normal behaviour would think the whole party would leave at once but when all said and done, with all four members on the beach and back connected as a party - I click that purple wall once more and to my horror and curiosity - there was the option to leave camp, and I took it. From the beach.

Now Halasin is still bear form, no longer in party. Cant interact with the green highlighted bear, even with speak with animals (which worked in the cut scene((assuming it was that spell that let me hear him talk in the first place)) )

What do Larian my friends
