I have left the Warehouse and I'm trying to free the gnome prisoners at the submarine.

But when I try to leave the dock area, an automoton triggers dialogue, says 'Greetings citizen' and then closes dialogue.
And this loops infinitely; I cannot walk away, move, or otherwise do anything, as it re-opens the dialogue the second it closes.
But there is none of the automotons near me.

So I'm stuck on the docks, unable to go anywhere, because a random (invisible) automoton decides to get stuck in a dialogue loop with me. frown
Entire save is pretty much softlocked, 30+ hours in.

Edit: I think it's the Steel Guard that is blocking NPCs from going to the docks, as it triggers faster if I try to leave the dock area, but it has talked to me all the way down near the foundry where they are made.

Edit the second: When it happens, the character (Wyll, in this case), will be forced out of stealth by nothing. They also cannot travel to the camp, nor can they enter turn-based mode.
They also cannot activate any skills or spells, nor move.
Even if the game gives me a few seconds to click on anything; It says Wyll is still in dialogue, even when he is not, and then proceeds to loop back into the dialogue non-stop for another 5 minutes before giving me another 30 second pause to see that Wyll is in dialogue, and can't move/do anything.
