[Dupe] Viconia starts and then suddenly stops moving

nsr

Sometime after entering the Heretic Temple, Viconia has suddenly gone into a state where she suddenly stops moving (the little green circle disapears, she just stands there). I read online that this may be because she is in a state where her banter is incomplete. Is there any way to work-around this? I've tried killing her and raising, as well as dismissing her and picking her up from the Graveyard.

Thanks

Hi
There are ways around this involving the console or editing a save.

I think I'm correct in saying you're playing on iPad, don't know if the advice at this thread helps you.

@Gate70 thanks for the link to the thread. I'll give it a try the next time I run into something very serious, the method sounds cumbersome. Also it's not clear if I would be able to get the save back- I think the method would be to create a .bg1save file and import it again, but I'm not 100% sure that would work.

Fortunately I had a save that was not too far back, so I went back again. I was able to repro the issue twice, I'm fairly sure it happens in the Amphitheatre during the Hammerhand dialog. Unfortunately the dialog tree is a little complex so I have no recollection of what I selected (not the same both times). I do remember that one time it was a peaceful resolution (the monks fought each other but not me) and the second time there was no combat at all. Once I ended up in a conclusion that had a fight, there was no problem with Viconia.
