Too busy to talk!? A little help here?

Post by clacka »

Every so often in the game a character does not respond to my wanting to initiate dialog even though I am sure I have a quest item he wants. The dialog box says "You cannot initiate dialog. XYZ appears busy" This happens with innkeepers, the guy at the Adventurer's Mart, and other characters.

For example, I am currently stuck in the temple ruins because I cannot get the statue (that has the sun ray symbol) to talk to me. I have totally cleaned out the entire place but I can't get out! Again, the dialog box says "you cannot initiate dialog, statue appears busy."

I have looked on the baldurdash fix page but cannot find a patch. Anyone?

I don't know much about it myself, though here's my comment. I don't know knew WHY the developers bothered to put this into the game. It's useless, and its annoying, especially with things that have timelimits like stronghold quests. If there is a patch that gets rid of that altogether, someone direct me to it.

If you're running XP, this is a known problem for which Bioware has provided a bugfix. Check out their website.
To the Righteous belong the fruits of violent victory. The rest of us will have to settle for warm friends, warm lovers, and a wink from a quietly supportive universe.

The real question here is, what is the statue doing that is *so* important that it can't spend five minutes with you?!! ~never got that statue to talk,so right eye begins twitching~
Oh! Shineys!!
