Shadowheart bugged when trying to "talk" to her
Whenever I use "talk" to her she don't talk at all now and go straight to player choices

Usually she do the opening talk before choice, but now she don't do opening talk at all and go straight to choices, straight to this :

1. You and I...
2. I want to talk...
3. We should journey...
4. Leave

it happens after The scene of she is trying to kill Lae'zel in the night which I prevented

Is still happens even until I finished grymforge, this is really immersion breaking if the bug is permanent

Anyone know solution for this?

I have the same problem in Gauntlet of Shar - if I start the first trial and try to "talk" to her, the camera will not "go" to the conversation. Maybe it's some "feature" from the patch.

i had the exact same issue, specifically in the temple of shar i think it was related to her missing the spear required to kill the nightsong, ive put it in storage like a dumbass
It fixed itself at the end of the act i was on but it might be because our relationship "upgraded"

Only Shadowheart so far have this bug and she is main companion so it's quite a blow hope they will fix her "talk" scenes next patch

If someone have solution to reverse this bug will be very helpful, I'll post if she get fixed later
so far about 20 hours she is still bugged

I spent about 30 minutes testing what was causing this, and the only way I found (at least on my first try in Gautlet of Shar) was for Shadowheart to use the statue, turn on her instruction dialog, and use the statue again. After that, my character can talk to her normally - in the sense that the camera works normally, and Shadowheart greets us normally. Maybe this will help someone at this particular moment.

Same bug here. It happens if you let Shadowheart offer her blood for the trial. You then talk to her, she tells you she "has a lot on her mind" and the next conversation after that will go straight to choices instead of her greeting.

Yes no more greetings just straight to choices, only Shadowheart have this bug

I actually have a similar bug on Wyll, i am definetly sure that he wants to talk about his father's abduction as i found a note about it near the monastery and he got an exclamation mark, but i can talk with him about anything but this. It never appears as a choice. Even if i have used up every possible dialogue option the exclamation mark persists. I even ungrouped and talked to him in the camp like this, then regroup and nothing.

Try as I wrote above: have her use the statue and offer blood, let the dialogue with instructions pass, click the statue with her again and only then try to talk to her with your character. In my case, at least, this helped.

If you ignore the "!" over SH and wait to camp and talk to her there, you can get all the character development without the bug.

So I figured out a fix to this.

Background on my playthrough: Currently in Gauntlet of Shar. Teleported back out to find the night orchid. Gave SH the night orchid, got some glitching with her.

So if you give her the night orchid, rest at camp, then afterwards leave camp, she will have an exclamation point. When you talk to her she tells you something is troubling her, then says don't worry about it and the conversation ends abruptly, thus the glitching begins.

The fix: Go to camp, give her the night orchid there, rest, leave camp, IGNORE the exclamation over her head, go back to camp, the exclamation will be gone, but talk to her anyways, and you'll get a dialogue concerning her faith. After that, rest, leave camp, and she should be back to normal.

Hope this helps! *Remember, save 24/F***ing/7 :)

I'm getting this bug just after Nightsong. When I leave the area through the portal I get the "!" dialogue trigger as soon as the game loads and then the dialogue triggers automatically. These options play out just fine, but afterwards if I try to interact with her I don't get the greeting and it jumps straight to the dialogue options.

I attempted to camp as soon as I loaded out of the Nightsong area, but the dialogue still triggers automatically there as well and I get the same result.

Patch 4 still not fix this bug,
but it fixed Wyll's semi perma exclamation mark on camp

I too have the same bug. After the romantic scene with her at the party following the protection of the grove, the only options of dialogue are the same as mentionned in the first post.

I noticed something was wrong when I couldn't give her the noblestalk because there was no dialogue options for it, only the same options as before. Later on, after the second guardian visit happened during the night, every compagnion had new dialogues options to talk about it, except her. I was still stuck with the same choices.

I would like to point out that this happened to me in this playthrough where her approval is really high, (Very good) but in another playthrough where it is only at fair, I dont have this problem. Even though, in both of them, I had the romantic scene with her.

I'm hoping this will be fixed in a futur update rather quickly. In the meantime, I will try ignoring her at camp as it was proposed earlier by Clugma and SRGE.
