Can't select dialogue option.
I swear i'm cursing Bethesda, Todd, his family and everything related to him from 2 good hours.
I'm doing the Hircine's ring quest and now i'm supposted to talk with Sinding in Bloated Man's Grotto, tough when i get closer to him and the dialogue windows pops up, i apparently can't select that only dialogue option avaliable. I tried realoding save files, closing and reopening the game, going out from the cave and returning, but that f*cking dialogue option is not getting selected. How can i fix this before i destroy something in pure rage ?

If it can help, i noticed just now that Sinding says something a few seconds before i get closer and the dialogue window pops out, maybe that's something related to this bug ?

Did you try advancing the quest via console commands? I know that would break immersion, but that's the only solution I could come up with as of now.

Nah, in the end, the solution was just stopping the dialogue, walking up to him and talking with him again. Can't belive i didn't tought about that before.

try this:
Better Dialogue Controls

Edit: not sure if you are using mods but using mods disables Achievements if that matters. You'd then have to get an achievement enabler mod like "Achievements Enabler" or SSE Engine Fixes.

I was going to suggest that, sometimes I get the "can't select dialog option" and exiting the dialog and starting it again always fixes it

Yeah, i have a couple of mods installed... maybe the cause was that ?
Thanks for the mod btw.

Not always.... it does it most of the time, but not always, I have had a few occassions were it didn't work and I had to load an old save and do it all over again.
