Helen Cockrow

[Deadahead]

I met Helen Cockrow on a farm, talked to her and she gave me a spear trap. After the conversation was all over, my character would not move. I could open my backpack, deploy items, but could not move fromt the spot I was on.

I've seen a couple other reports of this. Investigating.

I had this issue today. So I guess it wasn't fixed?

I just had this issue now.

Yeah, it kept happening to me, so I just started a new game. Or you can just not talk to her and move on.

Bump. This just happened to me twice. Quit to main menu the first time, came back in, game had been saved at the dock. Ran around, collected everything again, talked to Helen, and again I'm stuck. Character doesn't respond to any movement input.

Wow, still going on huh? I just stopped trying to talk to her, sucks though seems like the only way around it.

Got past it finally! After a reboot, restarted the game and navigated from the dock using KB+M. Approached Helen from the south. As soon as the prompt appeared, right-clicked to interact. Completed the dialog, got the reward, and was able to move away south.

In my previous session, I believe I approached her from the east and west, as I'd been looting those areas before starting the dialog. The map is relatively cluttered in those directions, and I had to get much closer before seeing the prompt, which might have led to becoming stuck in architecture or objects.

If this happens again, my approach will be to restart from a checkpoint, approach the NPC from the most uncluttered direction using KB+M, and trigger the dialog as far from the NPC as possible.

Hope this helps.
