Dorn's banter has no valid links or replies

It has been a while since this bug occurred, so I'll try my best to flesh it out:

I have Dorn, Kivan, Imoen, Me, Minsc and Branwen in the party. Sometime after I got Dorn, he has a discussion with my character about the possibility of someone being a turncoat in my party, and goes to accuse Branwen of serving her God first before me and with her being untrustworthy. Then after that there is no more discussion options, it just says "missing conversation" or something as the option without any text in the box. The conversation ends there abruptly.

    After killing Kryll, Dorn iniated a dialogue about traitors in my party. I asked him if he had someone in mind ( Third dialogue option) He points out Safana. She answers something. But then I get in my replies option the following :
    NO VALID REPLIES OR LINKS

    (Also in the button where its usually written ''Continue'' it is written : She uses her wiles to manipulate men. She cannot be trusted)
    I have screenshot but I dont know how to upload it.

    Wow seriously. I am liking Dorn less and less. You can't mess with my Safana.

    In my playthrough he pointed at Neera, and hands down, Dorn turned out really really good. The voice acting is really good and the style is comparable to the classic characters. Neera sounds a bit strange compared to the rest.
    Did you try to use Safana's innate ability charm person? It doesn't work for me.

    Same here Safana charm ain't working also but did any of you got that NO VALID REPLIES OR LINKS thing.

    Haven't encountered the "no valid replies or links" bug yet, since Dorn was pointing at Neera not Safana.

    Note that I had both Neera and Safana in my party.

    From what I can tell, its only one of Safana's cre files where the special ability isn't working.

    Yo. Dorn's just popped up a banter about not trusting my party members. He gets as far as fingering Viconia (or, after evicting her from the group, Edwin), then his next dialogue option is a statement about drow only serving their spider queen with a dialogue choice in red saying NO VALID LINKS OR REPLIES. The CONTINUE button's text has also been replaced with the same line Dorn'd just spoken about drow and their spider queen.

    I've actually got a savefile for this bug this time--where should I upload it to?

    Semi-relatedly, some of Dorn's chats with my PC seem to end really abruptly--I feel like in standard CHARNAME/NPC interactions an NPC almost always has the last word, but several of his end suddenly after I've chosen a dialogue option without his making any comment on it, even if it's something fairly strong (eg "I'm your friend, Dorn"--seems like he should have something to say about that). I don't know if this is a bug where his closing comments are being omitted or if he just hasn't got em, though.

    @Avenger_teambg Umm, I don't think linking to the tracker here is a good idea. You need an approved account to see anything, and the testers will already know it has been reported.

    They just won't know where, unless they look hard.

    And linking to a walled support thread showing that a problem that the dudes who wrote Nathaniel and the Imoen Romance Mod didn't run into is officially known and hasn't been fixed really isn't great PR. What was the point of your coming around here, Avenger? Trying to persuade me not to report bugs in the future?
  • hook71hook71 Member, Developer Posts: 582
    He's letting you and other people having this bug know that the problem has been reported to the developers already. I can't understand how you can take offence at that or why it should discourage you from reporting bugs?
  • Avenger_teambgAvenger_teambg Member, Developer Posts: 5,862
    @crawlkill I'm trying to mark bugs for other mods and busy ants so they don't have to spend hours finding or duplicating a report.

    During a conversation with my character where he tells the pc not to trust anyone. if you asks him who he think's you shouldent trust and kaigen is in the party kaigen will reply first before dorn, and then you will recive a "no valid conversatio options" dialouge choice
  • ElDiabloElDiablo Member Posts: 36
    you get something similar when you have no other party members at all

    I think this one should be fixed in the next patch.
