Cant talk to anyone

[Tim]

so got out of the crypt, silence was castes but killed the guy and it was gone. Problem is my character and companions literally can't talk to anyone, I can't finish quests, this is really ruining the game for me because I don't feel like making a new character, i was having so much fun with the game but this just ruined the experience completely, this bug has been in the game for 3 years. Anyone knows a fix?

Thats the problem, I don't have a save before getting silenced cast on, otherwise I wouldn't have posted anything loool.

You have zero saves?

I can understand reducing the number of quick and auto saves to a reasonable number because otherwise your save game folder explodes and syncing with the Steam cloud can take ages after a longer gaming session but NO save you can go back to, dude? Seriously?

So you saved multiple times with this condition active (you must have realized this pretty quickly, no?) and you have zero manual saves?

OK. Live and learn = restart the game and save more often :) . It's probably the oldest and most established rule of RPGs in general: Save early, save often - and in multiple slots.

Yeah realized it but continued on like a monkey because I read that it could take 100 turns before it goes, away, recruited a companion and only way I can talk now is through that companion really weird bug tbh.

Rez trick didn't work for me. Any other suggestions?

did you find a fix for this? I suddenly can't talk after last patch and it infected my previous saves too

[Hammbone]

having same issue

[matriooszka]

Same! Previous safes are infected too. Really annoying bug.

[vigokrell]

Same issue! Cannot talk to anyone, cannot leave camp, on ALL saves everywhere. WTF is happening.

Update: I removed my mods (very basic ones, increase inventory weight and highlight all) and now its working again. But I previously had no problems with them even after the patch, I don't know what happened.

Before I fixed it, I tried to start a new game, and the game started the character creator in 3rd person over head view! Just a dragon guy surrounded by 8 naked men, super weird.

I have no mods so that wont save me, but happy you could continue your game ;)

I'm having this issue now since the patch.

I've confirmed it was the "post-patch mod fixer" mod. Nexus looks like they've taken it down. Went back to the old mod-fixer mod and everything (mods included) seems working again.
