I have the regular 360 version and banters are few and far between. I've tried the mount/dismount/rest thing a few times and no luck. Cole seems to be the only one who ever really says anything, and it's just one liner comments about the surroundings.

[couslandia]

It's definitely either the horse or resting that's doing it for me. I've been trying for a bit this morning (happy snow day!) and some combination of resting and horse makes banter trigger within 2-10 minutes for multiple combinations of characters. Worked last night on the storm coast and I'm getting similar results in the hinterlands.

I'm 50+ hours into my game (xbox one) and hardly have heard any banter. Until now, I just thought Bioware slacked off when it came to writing banter this time, or that maybe they purposefully put less banter so that people wouldn't feel like they were missing out when riding horses.

 

I'm now kind of devastated to know its a bug. I always loved hearing the banter about your romances, and I haven't gotten any. And I'm never going to romance Solas again, so if they eventually fix this,  I'll either have to go wander around in old save files just to hear it, or hope someone posts it on youtube.:-(

 

Edit - the only constructive thing I can provide is that I have been streaming majority of my playthrough, so there's a lot of video of me running around in silence that people could look at. http://www.twitch.tv/bubbledncr

About to run some comparison trials for only resting versus only mount/dismount

[JeffZero]

Updated the OP again. Hopefully it'll draw back anyone on PC who's opted to do things like step outside for fresh air, consume calories, you know, weird stuff, since earlier today.

[JeffZero]

By the way, no banter in 90 minutes here at the Oasis with Varric/Sera/Cole, but I got one 11 minutes after mount-resting (my new abbreviation, because dammit everything you see me type is in fact texted on a sluggish phone).

Further evidence.

[Koffeegirl]

So I did then camp/mount/dismount/rest combo at Exalted Plains. I have a party of Solas, Iron Bull, and Sera and I have gotten 2 banters in the past hour.

The Mayhem- Bull/Sera banter and a Droopy ears banter with Sera/Solas. Considering I spent 2 hours in the Exalted Plains last night with no banter at all this is a big improvement. I have to stop playing to pick my car up  but will try again

Ha ha wait, I am getting a 3rd banter as the game sits idle while I type this with Bull/Solas. This is the most banter I have had in the game in the shortest amount of time.

I will play some more when I get back (again I am on PS4), anything particular combinations anyone wants me to try?

I'm really happy you've been getting some banter!

 

This temporary "fix" is the only thing keeping me sane right now.

Congrats on hearing a bit more. I'll let someone else make a suggestion this time (I really do need to get going for awhile shortly myself, but I won't have PS4 access again until Friday, so I'm doing what I can).

[Allan Schumacher]

Allen, I'm only 60 hours in, but I'd be happy to send my save if you want it.

Could you tell us definitively what the banter is supposed to look like/when it triggers/etc? I feel like that would help us as we test.

 

I think 60 hours is plenty long enough haha.

Same, same. I can just imagine if DAI were a television series. It's like all our seasons are on hiatus, but limited radio drama is currently taking the place of new episodes. Not... ideal at all. But something.

[Null0]

Allan, I can also send a savegame file if that helps. The more the better, I guess.

[Ganzevort]

I can send my file. I'm at the 90+ hour mark already. How do I send it via PM?

Woah, woah, woah ... That thread is litteraly an epiphany (saw the link on reddit), because I had the feeling something was not right, but couldn't really figure it out before reading that - as conversations between characters were not non existent, just ... sparse and sporadic. It is one thing to figure out you have a problem when experiencing a graphical glitch or a crash, it's another one to realize that one conversation every 1 or 2 hours is something not normal at all.

 

PC, flames of the inquisition, digital deluxe, preloaded, french game client, no english VO downloaded I think. 40ish hours into the game. I did numerous back and forth between Haven and Hinterlands back in the day. I have no issues with ambient dialogue (ie : random NPC talking with each other), both in Haven (and that other spoilerish location) and Redcliff. Almost no music in the game at all. Sometimes (it is not common, but not rare either), I have weird ambient sounds (crowd noise when away from population, humming like the oculus shards with no shards close, gibberish incantations). I use horses very infrequently, and I do use fast/camp travel and resting (I play on hard, so it is needed). I change my party regulary, try to use every character. Very sparse chatter at the beginning of the game to virtually non existant, whatever my party comp is in the Hinterlands both before and after big story event. Almost nothing in Storm Coast (same). I have had actually a few (maybe one every 30mins/1h) dialogues in Exalted Plains, which surprised me a lot. Then I played multiplayer and woah ... music ! and MP characters chatting almost non stop ! (it is actually distrating in MP :/)

 

And thanks JeffZero for your hard work - it seems that the problem IS really affecting a significant number of users, but it takes that kind of active and well documented thread to have everyone realize that what they took for a desgin decision, lack of content, or whatever is actually a bug. I am also wondering if this is the reason why a significant number of reviews (both by the press and gamers) have been very lukewarm about the characters, when others were praising party interaction. Needless to say, it might have actually an impact on the overall reception of the game (surprisingly dvided between dismissal and praise of the companion cast) - and seeing the answers pouring in in the last few hours now that people are growing aware of this fact - a small and elusive bug might have been, in hindsight,  the cause of a lot of criticism thrown at the game (at least, story and character related ones, I am not talking about deliberately ... "less inspired" decisions like the PC controls or the tactical cam ). Which is heartbreaking, because from what I can see from the posts and vids from people who don't have the problem ... a lot of work, talent and care have obviously been put in those party interactions.

 

I just hope you guys can fix it fast ... and retroactively for older saves (I'd rather have all flags reset and listen again to the few convos I have already heard than having missed that massive lot of content) ! It would be a shame if a small and elusive bug. For me, I have put the SP game on hold (especially if we are told to restart a game after an eventual fix). Time to do some multi I guess :/

[Nat Korch]

I have 67 hours completed game and want to send it too. How can I do it? 

[Kipp-vas-Xerinae]

PS4 user here. Two days ago i finished story part of DA:I in about 70 hours, my party members rarely talked and thus trying ro finish all of those side missions was pain in the ass,  because what i love about DA series is the party (banter/cut-scenes...)

I can only say that my party talked more in the Emprise Du Lion than in the entire game.

I hope this will be fixed, because i felt like i wasn't playing DA

[Allan Schumacher]

Please update the title I don't need everyone's save.... hahaha.

 

Simply PM me so I can give you my email via there, for those inquiring.

 

 

Thanks.

 

I have gotten two  but will take 1 more.

 

 

EDIT: I edited the topic title myself since it was also not entirely clear (I don't think you can PM me the save.  the PM was about exchanging contact information).

[thunderbara]

I've never posted here before, but someone direct me here, and yeah. PC digital download, about 65 or so hours in game, barely any banter. I thought the game was just really quiet, so it's super disheartening to hear other people have been getting banter every ten minutes or so.

 

My game is bugged in other ways (Dorian's quest won't start at all, the trigger for him to give it to me... never happened) so I'm not surprised I have this bug as well. That's just how my luck works.

[Kirie]

Alright, so I did get 2 banters and some other dialogue in the Exalted Plains within 40 minutes. 

Since Allan updated all of us, I've tried two things:

1.
Load in my save (Starting point is Emprise du Lion)
- Go to Hinterlands
- Switch party to Dorian/Sera/IB
- Pull out mount (did not get on mount)
3 minutes - Iron Bull & Dorian Banter
4 minutes - Sera & Dorian Banter

10 minutes - Dorian comments on "the heartland"

 

 

2.
- Load in my save (Starting point is Emprise du Lion)

- Go to Hinterlands
- Do NOT switch out party members. Party is Cass/Solas/Cole
- Pull out mount (did not get on mount)

Absolutely nothing. No banter, no dialogue, no nothing after 15 minutes

So sorry for the confusion, haha.

[couslandia]

Just wanted to thank Allan and the QA team for looking into this so quickly, I feel hopeful it can be fixed for everyone!

[JeffZero]

Hm, four out of four times today that I've returned to Skyhold the war drums have been playing. Curious. Probably unrelated, but hey.

[Vandalaz]

I tried the dismounting and rest suggestions but they didn't work, still nothing but depressing silence.

[Sjofn]

I am sort of glad to hear this is a glitch, because I was sort of alarmed at the lack of banter ... but a lot of other people I've talked to sound like theirs never shut up. But if it's a bug, it can be fixed! I'm away from my real computer right now (curse you, Thanksgiving!) but if they still need saves after I get back home, I am sending the hell out of mine!

 

(you know, if it was actually needed )

[Knight of Dane]

I tried the dismounting and rest suggestions but they didn't work, still nothing but depressing silence.

Try fast traveling to a different camp and then mount/dismount, rest. That worked for me the first time.

 

I'm going to test it again tomorrow.
