Approval Gain/Loss completely gone

[Blood Wolf]

In the last light inn after i fetched helsin to come check on the coma dude all approval just straight up got disabled, I've talked to Rolan right after and reloaded like a ton of times and astarion approval didn't go down from 72 from saying they're my responsibility and wyll's didn't go up, and persuasion choice with ibl afterwards did jack squat too.

I've tried zoning else way and reloading a ton but it didn't fix now I'm rebooting, so here's hoping it works.

Nope my approval for not just that conversation but ALL conversations is straight up DEAD in the water, no matter how much i tell my companions to go F@$% themselves or how many different KEY people i talk to..... nothing is moving any companion approval, they aren't all at 100 too, just laz'el and karlach. Like WTF happened.

Ok so Rolan, ibl, and viper's approval conversations just don't give anything anymore. But then talking about Mol shouldn't take the deal to wyll did, along with saying we need to go to moonrise to save his father... so a lot of Last Light Inn approval opportunities just straight up died but not all approval together..... ugh i hate games that do this, this is why i liked Kotor 1 over 2 was this approval balancing crap in order to see everything a game has to offer

Gota have the correct companion out for this certain part of the map!
Gota reply specifically in this conversation!
Gota separate shadowheart from the group, tell her to walk to the opposite side of the grove so when i tell the tiefling to bow to laz'el, she doesn't get upset about it....

God i miss when i could just go through a RPG casually the way i want and act the way i want and still get 100% of the story and all side stories.... mass effect i love you.

Ok i dug around in the files a TON even restarted the entirety of Act from scratch and these Last Light Inn events have just had their approval influence straight up removed, its not a result of me doing something weird or loading. Don't even have a single mod.

I don't know why or what patch decided to snuff out the importance of these characters but go ahead and say whatever the hell you want to and with whoever the hell you have with you to these characters inside the Last Light Inn

Manip Vidor - "Doing your job, you mean." Broken
Rolan - "Then it's my responsibility to bring them back." Broken
Ide - "Ignore him - he's more immature than you are" "Do you really want to give it to him after he acted?" Broken

You know I was skeptical about needing a ton of save files in this game like with most games i usually only keep like 3 and save over them in time. But i find in this game I'm often going back really far because something despawned after a certain event way too often..... new playthoughs will be fun tho once i know the game by heart.

The same thing happened to me! Have you found a way to fix approval after the Last Light Inn Halsin conversation? I don't have any mods installed, tried reloading saves, adding and removing party members, etc. but nothing seems to fix it. I'm a little annoyed because I really don't want to miss out on all these approval opportunities but also want to keep playing ahhh!
