Stuck at Dragon Mountain (beginning)

I'm at the third(-itsh) level after rescuing Kamiko. I once talked to Hideo, got the quest from Smith and am now stuck. I can't talko to Hideo or Larry (there is no "press to talk" hint). I can still talk to Smith, though. But I am only reminded to complete the quest.
I don't really want to start a new game to see if it fixes the error.

I love it when a game comes out and no one pays attention to its tutorial messages because they think they know how the game works already lol

There may have been a message and I may have read it. But since then some time passed and I forgot what to do next and now I see no hint. The minimap shows two locations (Smith and Wang's office). Both do not yield any progress.
I watched a walkthrough and there the player talked to Hideo to progress. Which I can't at the moment.

Try starting it in multiplayer invite only mode. I got stuck a few times, and that have always loosened it up for me. From no mission given, to (the correct) 3 sidemissions and a storymission.
Then just exit to main menu and go back to solo (well I go one step further, exiting game and 'save' the save game someplace safe, after every damn mission!!)

Sounded good, but didn't work. I opened the inventory and the "missions" tab is greyed out (in multiplayer and back again in singleplayer).
I killed myself (jumped of the ledge). Didn't change anything (as expected).

No objective shown in the right corner? Check Wangopedia for recordings of earlier talk?

*potential spoilers*

You have to go to Smith's library (up the stairs to the left of the Melee Vendor guy) and retrieve the Soul Vessel for Smith if this is the part where Dragon Mountain has been attacked.

There is an objective in the top right corner. It leads me to Smith, who will just say that I have to hurry to save Kamiko.
Wanglopedia only lists weapson, enemies, hints and "world" (picked up texts).
I just found the posibility to load a backup save. There is one from today and two old ones that are only minutes apart. I loaded the old one and it was almost at the beginning of the game. Well, guess I'll go with that, as I don't want to spend more time searching for a solution.

Guess what: same problem.
I rescued Kamiko, was told to go talk to Hideo. I did, learned a new technique and now ... nothing. Quest marker points to Smith. When I talk to him he just says to hurry. Can't talk to Hideo anymore and Larry is also unresponsive.

Oh wow.
When I talk to Smith, he says something (his name is above the text) and then I could answer. But the text he says is actually another option for me to chose. That continues the game.
I would call it bad design, as it was not really apparent that both are options to chose from.
Well, problem solved.

I got "stuck" at this point as well. Terrible dialogue UI. There were actually two choices while talking to Master Smith, but the "accept mission" choice (the upper one) looked like a text box rather than a clickable UI, so it looked like the "cancel dialogue" (the lower one) is the only clickable option.

Thank God for this post. Like others, when I went to the exclamation mark, I got a display on the screen that said we had to hurry, and my choice to respond was "I'll come back later". If I actually interact with him again after the menu, then the discussion starts and I can proceed.
