Even though I love this game, I stopped playing it days ago because of this problem. I'm not willing to settle with missing content in a product I paid full price for, especially when said content is one of the best features of that product. Since there has been no updates on what's causing this, and it won't be addressed in the first patch in any case (if ever), I'd say there won't be a proper fix until mid-late January at best. And since that's the time when GTA 5 comes out for pc, followed by the Witcher 3, it seems this break from Inquisition for me will probably take about 4 months, at which point I could probably pick the game at a lower price. Situations like this, make me miss the days I used to pirate games.

 

I just hope everyone drops the Frostbite engine since if Inquisition and BF4 is anything to go by, no one knows how to make audio work properly on that thing.

Went through the Hinterlands: 3 banter between Sera and Dorian (with Cass, right after getting Skyhold)

Exalted Plains for two hours: nothing. (Vivienne, Iron Bull, Sera)

Storm Coast for three: nothing. (Dorian, Cole, Blackwall).

 

The only good thing about this is that I don't know what the game is supposed to look like and I'm not really missing the banter, as in the long stretches of nothingness, I kind of forget that there's supposed to be banter. 

 

I did change the audio settings, though, before I went to the Hinterlands.

So I thought this might help some of you guys. I started a second play through, and tried something one of the reddit users said to try. Its here   http://www.reddit.co..._of_the_banter/     Turning Origin to Offline and following these instructions has changed the game dramatically.  I went from 110 hours of never even hearing Cassandra say anything ever except in cutscenes or at Haven or Skyhold, to banter every like 10 to 20 minutes. o.o  It is like a totally different game. 

 

Devs I know you claim this isn't a thing, but it totally is. If turning Origin to Offline and disconnecting from the DA servers fixed it then there is obviously an issue somewhere in there. I can't upload my game, but hey at least my characters talk to each other now.

I haven't played the game for well over a week now. Seeing that there won't be any fix in the upcoming patch, which could still be weeks away. I think I am just going to have to play the game in the state it is and hope for the best. The game is still good, just super annoying missing out on stuff.

 

I cannot wait too long because I have GTA 5 (PC) on my list and that is fast coming in Jan 27th. Then of course the Witcher 3 in Feb 24th. Both games are ~100 hours in length.

 

Not to mention I might want to squeeze in Witcher 2 before playing 3 too. I never got around to playing it.

I am already playing Far Cry 4, so my plate is full and little time to spare.

 

I just going to have to wait for full experience of this game (if they fix the bug) in another second playthrough in the future sometime.

 

This song is rather fitting, right now:

Hold on a second, THERE IS INTERACTIVE BANTER!?

I haven't had a single instance of this in my 90 hours of gameplay. How often does it happen? Do you have to do something special to trigger it?

There's over 3 hours of interactive banter if you count every companion. Many people are having a bug where it doesn't happen, but theoretically it should happen every 10-20 minutes in the open areas while exploring.

That's normal banter. Interactive banter is when the Inquisitior joins in and you have the option to select a comment. One always happens in the prologue, but a few others are supposed to happen during the game.

You're probably talking about the normal party banter which I actually get just not at those intervals. I'm talking about the banter that according to what I just read has an interactive component to it that allows you to somehow respond to some of your companion's comments. If that type of banter pops up every 10-20 minutes then my gameplay experience is a pretty tragic fail compared to what it could have been. :(

Yes, that's what I'm talking about.

I get nothing. None. Zip. Nada.

yeah I have experienced 2 interactive banters in my game. Both of them with my LI. One between Sera and Varric, and the 2nd (many hours later) between Sera and Blackwall after I killed my first high dragon.

I just wish hey would communicate something. I've had my characters not shut up on the Storm Coast and get 5 banters in 30 minutes. But for the last 5 hours I have gotten 0 banters-with a party that I don't usually use, so their banters are not exhausted.

What is causing this where they banter sometimes and then go hours and hours with no banter? It's bizarre.

It's so weird... I started a new character and for the first 5 hours or so banter was playing every 10 mins or so (I was using Cassandra, Varric and Solas). Then I made a manual save, quit for the night and the next time I loaded back in I haven't heard any banter between anyone, not even the new people I've recruited. It's been a good 2 hours or wandering in the Hinterlands and nothing...

Count me in for the Banter bug. Also getting partial banters when they do trigger (I.e. one character makes a comment and the others who are supposed to respond don't). Absence of music is a telltale sign. Game started off great... Then this. /sadpanda

I am on 360 and have no banter bug, which is weird in a good way.  What I DON'T have is MUSIC!  That and the steady stream of dialogue options the game won't allow me to interact with...at all!  (Whole conversations missing!?)  I can endure the horrendous and unacceptably bad graphics and textures, but the sound issues...  Oh my God.

Edit:  After reading the comments, it seems people are talking about convos that the Inquisitor is supposed to be able to interact with.  I sometimes SEE them (though only ever got two with party members) but can't interact with.  Same thing happens with NPCs...which really sucks.

It is Sunday. But I would hope to hear something Monday or Tuesday, even if it is just ‘no news’.

They already let out news...the patch is coming for PC on the 9th and is delayed on other platforms due to difficulties. There's no news of whether the banter fix is on the patch (most likely not), but they will probably give us an update about it when the patch notes come out.

No, the banter fix doesn’t exist and was never slated for p1.

They didn't say it was a PC patch from what I know.

Well ONE bit of banter does repeat - a lot. If you take Solas and The Iron Bull, you get the convo between them that ends with Solas calling TIB a drone every 7 to 10 mins just walking about gathering herbs or, going to quest points. Didn't start until my male Inquisitor sealed the romance with a Dragon kill but, now, that convo has become my team's traveling mantra LOL. Not bad just humerous that they'd chose that to travel by.

How would you know if it exists? People are really...really adamant about what they do and do not know concerning a company they have no access to. The fact that they didn't have a fix 10 days ago hardly means there isn't one now.
