ME2, unable to start loyalty missions.

[Haris]

Kelly tells me to talk to crewmate, i have mission in my journal too.
When i talk to them they say something is bothering them but then it drops me out of conversation with +2 paragon. Is it bugged? Ive only done Kasumi loyalty mission so far

What are you expecting to happen when you talk to them? I'm just trying to track down where the difference is happening.

Im expecting a mission to start? Im able to do half crews loyalty mission but not some, Jacob, Miranda and Mordin?
Kelly tells me to talk to them, I have mission my journal reading "Miranda has a personal matter she wishes to discus"
But when i talk to her she says I dont like discussing personal matters but this is important and Ii get a dialogue wheel with Ofcource and What's wrong either choice just closes the conversation. Same issue with jacob and Mordin.
Unless theres an order i have to follow for these mission which doesnt make sense to me.
This is after collector ship mission

There's the difference. After agreeing to help them out, you don't automatically start the mission right away. You have to go back out to the star map and navigate to wherever it is that they need something, just like any other quest.

Or are you saying that you're booted out of the dialogue tree before you can get the quest added to your journal?

Im booted out of dialogue tree before they can tell me where to go and what to do, the moment I ask them whatsup it kicks me out of dialogue

Alright, now I think I'm with you. The easiest fix to try is to verify your files through Steam. It doesn't fix everything, but it clears up a lot of weird issues. Also, have you checked your journal to see if the quests got added before you got booted out?

I tried verify and it didnt help, only fix i found was to use save editor and skip the dialogue part, then go back to them and pick dialogue option that basically reminds you what they said and finish the quest. really annoying tho since it seems buggy as well because after doing samara loyalty quest and getting her back on ship im suppose to talk to her again but its giving me same bug and no closure to the questline

[LuckyCheshire]

I think that's the extent of what I can meaningfully help with, sorry I couldn't help more. Someone who's more intimately familiar with the game from a technical standpoint may be able to suggest something else.

[Haris]

Yeah no problem its an old game so i doubt ill be able to fix it without starting the game over which i dont really want

Some loyalty missions don't become available until after certain main story missions.

Yes, talk to them, but that's only the first step of several. If you have talked to them, their missions (planets to visit etc) will become available later. Some only after a specific main story mission.

If you think you missed something in the dialog, simply talk to them again. If they "Shepard" you, you might have to wait until later. For some missions, you might have to talk to them two or three times until you can actually start the mission itself.
