[10/6/2021 11:33:42 AM] Welcome, friend, to the Keg and Egg Tavern! I'm Xia, and before you ask, I'll just tell you that it's easy to get into Spite... but almost impossible to get transportation out! So, given that, how can I help you?

[10/6/2021 11:33:44 AM] Alley Oop: help
[10/6/2021 11:33:44 AM] Xia: There's nothing I need help with. This is the end of the line, after all, the gateway to Malice. What more could be done.
[10/6/2021 11:33:44 AM]
[10/6/2021 11:33:45 AM] Alley Oop: malice

[10/6/2021 11:33:45 AM] Xia: Ah, Malice. It used to be a strangely beautiful place, with a more appropriate title... Miracule. Built by the titan Sequanna herself, so legend goes. It's just across Lake Tempest, deep inside the Siren Mountains.
[10/6/2021 11:33:45 AM] ?AGATHON?: (talking to himself) Now it is naught but death and corruption, its living beauty usurped by the vengeful dead.
[10/6/2021 11:33:45 AM] ?YAMA?: (talking to himself) You'll need far more than a spirit-talker to get to Malice.
[10/6/2021 11:33:45 AM] ?SAMAEL?: (to you) It's not a problem. They will speak to me.

+6000 lines before i killed the client

 

I tested also NPC must be 'at work' not in bed, for this to happen. Happened after I clicked the buy/sell button.

Alley - are those ?'s around the NPC names intended? I was going to bug that also..

 

that's happening because we did not learn those npc names (and in my case can't since they're locked into their post-quest conversations)

 

fix needs testing as of 1456

 

@Sannio, no change.

 

I observed this also on Windows. This is a blocker -- you are unable to escape the conversation, even after moving away from the NPC, and the only fix I've found is to quit the game.

 

I'm not seeing this happen any more. I click the transportation keyword, and the windows are fine.
Then tried clicking on transportation, Malice and problem keywords. No issue.

This character HAS finished the episode 1 main quest. Not sure why Alley and Echondas are still seeing this?

I am using the latest NVIDIA 471.11 drivers (GTX 1080).

I am in the same boat as Anpu -- all seemed fine for me.

 

this is fixed for me on 1498. @Echondas, can you check again to be sure?
