Greetings, made an account here so I can post what I did. Not sure if this is the right place to post, but anyway.

First off, the idea came from a reddit user named Seeker1624. You can see his post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/DivinityOriginalSin/comments/70htx7/psa_gamebreaking_bug/dn5ilmg/

I stumbled upon his post while looking for a way to fix the bug, since I had no other options left because the last unaffected save file was 4 hours earlier than my recent save.

Anyway, this is what I did. MILD LOCATION SPOILER FOR ACT II, BE WARNED:

First, you have to go to Marg or Grog, the two troll bridges.
In my case, I used Marg. Also, this was my first time meeting him, so I'm not sure if it'll work if you can pass by the bridge without him stopping you and initiating dialog.

Unchain all of your party members and chain one of them to the bugged character. In my case Lohse was the bugged one.

Control your bugged character and go past the troll. You'll see that he will try to interact with the party member that's chained with you, but it's bugged. If you go control that party member, you'll see that there's no dialog box.

Here you can see I have the Red Prince currently selected, and he's in a dialog with the troll but there's no dialog box.

Once this happens, take control of the bugged character and try to move away from the troll. If you do this, your other party member will try to go towards you. At this point I'm not sure what causes the fix, but in any case just try to move away from the troll.

If everything goes right, the dialog box will show up and if you check, you can see that the troll is interacting with both your bugged character and the other party member.

Both are talking to him.

Just exit out of the dialog and he'll force you away from the bridge. After this you can now talk with the bugged character again, yay!

Now go kill off Nicholas after, I guess :P

EDIT: Welp, BBCode doesn't work yet for my account. Hopefully a mod could mod-edit and put some spoilers on the fix, since it's kinda a spoiler.
