Maybe I should mention that I play on PC, the digtal deluxe thingy, in case it means anything ot the statistics.

That reminds me. In all the hubbub, I never did mention it, but combat audio is potentially glitched for me, too. When someone is low on health there is chatter but I think that's it.

I sometimes have audio glitches, most often happens when I load while already being in a loaded game state. Going into the audio and tick one of the otions back and forth, then saving solves it.

Hmm. I'll investigate that when next I'm home, thanks. I've fiddled with that once or twice and probably to no avail, but it's possible I'm mistaken and it did help briefly.

Okay, didn't realize this was an actual glitch until today. So I've already finished my first play through (50+ hours) and the companions I got the most banter out of was Vivienne and Sera, and even that was maybe 4 or 5 times throughout the whole game. I never rode mounts, because I didn't want to miss out on any party banter, so that's not the problem. I'm really hoping this gets fixed soon, as listening to party banter is one of my favorite things to do in any Dragon Age game.

By the way, I'm playing on xbox 360.

Does anyone know if the Xbox one version is also borked?

 

I'm already using a controller and my Skyhold doesn't seem to upgrade, the audio is flaky and my companions never speak.  If the Xbox version works I think I might just buy it and hold off on my PC copy until it's got some fixes.  Of course my Hubby will be livid because he just upgraded the computer for me to play on and he isn't exactly a sharer where his console is concerned but I'm feeling really frustrated and it's a viable option if the other version is superior.   :(

I believe there have been numerous X1 reports of this, unfortunately. Could be mistaken... but I think so.

As for Skyhold not properly upgrading, it's possible I have that problem also. Not sure. I selected one of the major upgrades (an infirmary) and nothing happened. But I may have needed to leave Skyhold and then come back to actually see the results, so I'm not sure.

Often when I'm in combat the sound effects will muffle (not mute) - and I have to open the options menu for a moment and then it's back to normal. But as far as banter during combat - I've never heard anything apart from low health.

I'm having the same issue, 47h~ played and i'm getting about 1 banter every 30min/hour, some times not even that.

First i thought it was normal but apparently it's not, music works fine tho.

 

Also i'm running on PC

jumped on here to add my two cents: i have this problem -- 80-90 hours of gameplay and maybe ~20 instances of banter at max -- and my sound problems are much the same as other people have described. when i do get banter it usually comes one after the other in a very quick timeframe and then goes away completely. i don't get any dialogue in combat unless someone is low on health, and i have had a lot of problems with sound cutting out, sometimes frequently and sometimes rarely. same issue with music rarely ever playing -- just ambient sound.

 

tried some of the suggestions here with mounts and resting in the exalted plains. i ran around for an hour, closing rifts and doing quests, with a party of blackwall/dorian/cole (none of whom had ever been in a party together) and nobody made a single comment. fast traveled to a camp site, mounted and dismounted and rested, headed back out and played for another roughly 45 minutes, got one banter between blackwall and dorian and two between blackwall and cole. if it matters i'm running pc deluxe version installed from disc.

I completed all upgrades, but the courtyard and the tower haven't changed, completing parts of the main quest did not help.

So I've been having trouble with this, and I wanted to test it without resting. The results were pleasing for half an hour? I did the quest in Redcliffe chantry, mounted/dismounted outside, then stood idle.

10:00 Exited red cliff chantry, mounted/dismounted
10;06 cass/varric banter
10:15 cass/varric banter
10:30 cass/varric banter

I'm not sure how much they're actually meant to banter but it's a good start. I'm going to have a run around the hinterlands and try fast travelling to see what happens.

How can it be that this glitch affects all platforms, yet not everyone is getting the glitch? I would have thought that players on the same consoles at least would all have an identical experience.

 

There must be something in common between everyone who is getting this problem. Maybe it's something in our playstyles?

I rarely rest at camps or use mounts. Usually if it's time for me to rest I have something to do back at Skyhold so I port back.

Did we all hang around endlessly in the Hinterlands?  I was there for three days finishing off sidequests before I ever went to Haven, maybe I never triggered the start banter thing?  Could be the horse, it's probably horse related.....horses are my new class enemy!

Same here. Never really used mounts, outside of the racing minigame in the Hinterlands. I also never rest, since your health gets replenished just by fast travelling to a camp.

 

Maybe people who aren't having this problem use mounts all the time?

I can confirm I definitely stayed in the Hinterlands forever. Not sure if I went back to Haven -> Hinterlands -> Haven -> Hinterlands to trigger the banter to work right. I also want to blame the horse.

I rest all the time, and I use mounts on occasion. Still have the glitch.

the first time i started the game i was in the hinterlands for...maybe three hours. it wasn't very long before i went back to haven, and in that time i had probably the second largest amount of banter i've had in game, probably 3-4 conversations between the standard cassandra/varric/solas group. when i went through a second time i was in the hinterlands probably seven hours before i did anything else, and i had maybe 1-2 conversation in that amount of time. the other time i had a lot of banter was in the hinterlands after moving to skyhold, in which i had maybe 6 conversations within the varric/dorian/iron bull group in about 30 minutes before it went silent again.

 

i didn't pick up mounts for a long time on either file. i don't ever use them currently, though i have them, and i rest pretty infrequently but i get banter most often immediately after fast traveling if at all.

There should be dialogue during combat too? O_O

Good lord, how much am I missing... It's like I am playing only one half of the game.

For those mentioning Val Royeux, the first two times I went through I had no music either - to my utter astonishment visiting post-Skyhold, music started blaring through the entire loading screen, and continued non-stop whilst exploring Val Royeux. Didn't know there was music to be had there! (Wow at Trevor Morris, it sounded incredible!)
 
To my misery, I've had no luck with the horse/rest combo, unfortunately. I spent some time experimenting in areas where I've gotten no banter (it's still been 5hrs in Storm Coast, 2hrs in Forbidden Oasis with no banter whatsoever - nothing will trigger!), and I had took my lucky charms Dorian/Sera/Bull back to the Hinterlands for a bit, and they unfortunately wouldn't talk at all whilst horse/rest experimenting. They don't seem to respond to fast travel/loading, either - in the past, I have to have spent about five/ten minutes wandering the map before they'll start up. Out of curiosity, what mounts are people using? I'd been using the Red Hart Halla, should I maybe try something else?
 
With Dorian/Sera/Bull, I've now had three separate instances of banter - 3xHinterlands, 3xEmerald Graves, 3xHinterlands - and it's all followed on in logical conversation order (no silent conversation firing), carrying across multiple regions, with three banters firing after another in the space of about ten minutes. They will go quiet for a long time after that, though. Dorian and Bull still won't talk to anyone else, though, dreadfully elitist behaviour - and bizarre!
 
I restarted the game out of curiosity (same inquisitor race, etc), and at the Hinterlands, I immediately had Solas/Cass trigger banter that I hadn't heard for  hours the first time around, and then Solas/Varric that I hadn't heard for 2hrs+ the first time, and then Solas/Varric chatted about the skull while I looked for shards on the hill - never heard that banter first time around! I also had three pieces of music trigger in short succession (one that I'd never heard before in my 16hrs plus in the Hinterlands). I haven't been able to spend enough time with it yet to see what's changed, or if the banter is entirely working. It could be a desperate placebo effect at this point, heh.
 
I think I've had two conversations trigger whilst going into a fight? It's only happened in the Hinterlands, with Cass/Varric/Solas. I haven't had any other sound glitches to speak off - no dialogue ever cuts in and out, it's only whatever is going on with the music/banter. Definitely getting combat dialogue from Sera (breeches)/Dorian/Bull, but I actually don't think I'm hearing it that often from anyone else. They'll comment on the world, but no combat dialogue.

Just out of curiosity, is anyone who's experiencing the no banter bug playing at 30 fps capped? (PC btw)

When you lock the game's framerate at 30 you get double load times, so maybe even the scripts triggering the convos are getting delayed?

I was in the Hinterlands for ~10 hours before ever setting foot back at Haven, it could correlate. Wish the bog unicorn didn't already have that sword through it's head. -coughs-

Just uninstalled the game and installed it again, tried the rest/mount combo and nothing. The #YOLO Party is worryingly shy around my inquisitor.

I've left my framerate locked, I didn't want to touch anything that might have unexpected consequences.
