Dialog Bug - Can't Open Chests or Bodies
After talking with Sovereign Glut in the Underdark I'm no longer able to open chests or bodies, this seems to be permanent. In the bottom right of my screen I see the "[Space] Skip" as if I'm still in conversation with him (this I can get rid of by talking to another npc however I'm still unable to interact with chests/bodies/containers). Mouse right click is also disabled now outside of being in the inventory.

I enter a kind of permanent conversation. By talking with him again I'm able to exit the conversation and run about. I can use spells and pick up loose items on the ground. I'm even able to talk with other characters but now I always have to reenter dialog to remove the "[Space] Skip" prompt and I can never again open containers.

I've reloaded the game a bunch of times. I've closed the game completely and reopened it multiple times. I've run around in this glitched state for an hour now trying to fix it with no luck and I'm out of ideas. Has anyone else come across this issue dialog issue? Have you been able to fix it?

Thankfully I have a save right before interacting with Glut.

Whenever I speak to Omeluum in the Myconid Colony camp, I get this weird "CANNOT OPEN CONTAINERs" bug.

Im having the same problem right now. Did you ever find a solution?

I am having the same issue. It happens anytime I am nearby Glut, even if he's with another player's character

I have noticed it starts with the conversation around Omelem (sp). I started seeing it when I talked with Glut after. So I loaded a save before entering the village and I could access my nested inventories. right after that conversation is when the issue started for me.

Note: I just finished verifying my files and that seems to have fixed the issue on a post conversation save!
I did find out that the camp supplies bag in your camp chest does not auto open when you double click on it. you have to right click and select open to get it to do so.

I was having the same issue after dealing with Karlach and the paladins of Tyr. A simple save, quit to menu and load seems to have fixed the issue. Though upon loading in every container I had tried to open showed up on screen at once

I got the same error. I validated game files in Steam. But the general guideline for bugs is to:

1 - hit F5 to autosave
2 - hit F8 to quickload (reload your last save)
3 - go to steam library, right click the game, options, validate game files and relaunch
4 - if all else fails go to an earlier save and report the issue via the bug report button in the LariLauncher / BG3 game launcher

Fix that worked for me was AFTER the convo with Omeluum , save, quit game , validate files through Steam, and reload save.

I suspect it has something do with how the dialog with Omeluum turns into a Barter/trade with Omeluum for the Ring...The convo process didn't actually end before going into the trade.
Maybe ending the convo without going into the trade option would support this hypothesis .

Late reply, but thank you so much! This fixed all the issues I was having, and saved me from the heartbreak of restarting the game 😂
