Does patch 6 finally fix this broken part of the game? I've never actually been able to play DA:I yet because it is broken.
I bought it on pre-order, noticed it won all kinds of awards but is it still broken and unplayable?
Seems like it could be a good game if it was fixed, is it?
Thanks.

Why is your game unplayable? The banter/music bug doesnt render the game unplayable. if you have a different problem you should post in the technical section to get help. Let them know what platform you play on and specs if it on PC.
Posted here before. Thought I would give new update for hopefuls.
I had the party banter bug on all of my previous playthroughs - 2 on PC version. 2 on PS4 version. I did not realize there was a bug until I was almost finished with my first playthrough on PC. I found threads about workarounds, what many call blood majicking. I tried many of those to get banter to trigger. For example, without doing things like war table fast travel, I would have no banter.
After the last patch, my banter finally is working as expected. I played last week and tested it out on PS4. I did not do any of the workarounds. It fired every 10 mins. Took about 10-15 mins to fire once I entered a zone. I had banter after the following - fast travel from anything but war table, after changing party at in the field, while running through zones.
so it is finally working for me. Again, I definitely had a banter bug. Even with workarounds, I sometimes did not have banter for an hour or more.
However, I can reconfirm that Western Approach is still broken. It is still a no banter zone for me. Triggered banter still works but no random party banter. The good news is all other zones seem to fine now - even Exalted Plains. Before last patch, I rarely had banter in Exalted Plains even with workarounds.
That's "good'ish" to hear. Thanks for the report. Maybe one day I'll be able to give DA: I a real go.
I haven't played in about two weeks due to life and travel, but I honestly get kind of tired thinking about making a new inquisitor and starting my third play-through because the last two got pretty dull at a certain point. There are major character arcs you miss if you don't have banter. Dorian and Bull's relationship doesn't happen if you don't have banter. Backstory doesn't get revealed. Extremely important things if you play Bioware games for the story and characters. I now consider this bug a game breaker because thinking of going through the game without banter, AGAIN, is just plain demoralizing. I'm on the Xbox One, I've done workarounds, I play offline, I mark all codex entries as 'read' as they appear, etc etc etc, and it still doesn't work. I get 1 or 2 exchanges fired every two hours or so, at last count.
Now we have new DLC coming out, hopefully with additional party banter, and I can't even get excited about it because a key factor in my enjoyment of the world and characters of the game is still missing from my experience.
So it is fixed for some and not others. Such a bummer. I guess it's really a total crap shoot if your game is broken or not.

This comment is surprising. Banter is a huge part of all the DA games and its virtual absence for many people in DAI was truly game breaking. I had barely any banter in my first two playthroughs. If this patch really fixes banter, I'll be thrilled - now I can finally see the real characters that Bioware worked so hard at creating.
Well i just gave up on this session again, when after an entire hour i had ONE banter in the Hissing wastes, on my post credits playthrough, which is my first and never had banter to begin with. I had an outdated Dorian/Varric banter about their bet on if we will beat the big bad, and thats it. Even tho the game is done...And then nothing. I dont know how much it's fixed, but my hopes are yet again ****** crushed. SO much for enjoying the DLC when i can't hear half the content from it.
I say try connecting online normally now. I've been getting decent banter now with the latest update and I've been online. I think it works better now imo.

Hm, I have been disconnected from the DAI server for months. Will try tomorrow, altho this shouldn't be the only thing making or breaking it. It's just frustrating at this point. >.>
Is a new cheat engine table needed after the patch? Does anyone have it?
How is everyone's performance with banter after the DLC? I rolled a new inquisitor, i've had 3 banters in the Hinterlands in 3 hours. I switched back to my first save and went around the new area talking to people for about an hour and a half now, and not a single banter to be heard. I am yet again giving up on any hope for this to be fixed. Bloody ruins the game
Initially I had a banter every 15 minutes or so. Now it's only triggering after certain events and then in between its hours of silence. God, I hate this bug so much.
Not sure if I'm just lucky or what, but I'm seeing a TON of banter firing between my characters since I installed the sixth patch, a lot more that I've previously seen before (I'm on PC, never used any of the previous banter mods)
Wow... it seems there is no real pattern with this issue after all this time. How will I know if my game will be broken or not?
I can do a clean install with the latest patches and the DLC... I wonder if that will help?

usually i replay bioware games 10 times at least, i planned over 4 playthrough for DA:I but i simply can't play the game until the banter is fixed, i only finished it once then found out about what i was missing
i want to enjoy it but i can't do that knowing a vital part is not functioning
Personally, I've always had problems with sound and banters in this game, so I stopped playing for a while. I went back to the game after the last patch to see if its better. Today I left the Skyhold by war room straight into hising wastes wandering aimlessly. To my suprise banters began to start pretty frequently, average every 15min (with battletime) . So I dont know if this is due to the last patch or not, but I think that 15min break was intended. Although still dont have music in Val Royeaux :/

Does patch 6 finally fix this broken part of the game?
Since upgrading to Patch 6 (PC) I have the impression I've seen (heard) more banter more frequently than was previously the case. I've always had *some* banter but it was a bit hit and miss and I could run around the Storm Coast for an hour and not hear a peep from any of my companions. Post-Patch 6 I 'd say I'm getting a few banters every hour or so (I don't religious log each instance; it's just an impression). Occasionally a banter kicks off just as a combat is about to start, which is a little incongruous.
The banter "bug" does not break the game. It may make you not like a part of the game, but the game does function. I've been playing the game since it came out, have 11 playthroughs. No broken games. No crashing. No major problems. Certainly less buggy than Skyrim.
I've posted a message few weeks ago about the banters issues on PS4
I've started a new playthrough last week before the release of patch 6 and now Banters work fine.
I check every new codex entry when I got one (seems to improve banters trigger), speak with my companions when a new dialog comes up and now I have a banter every 15-20 min.
Banters trigger during exploration, after a fight, or closing rifts.
I don't know if patch 6 fixed the bug, but my banters are back. But it's sad to see that it's still broken for some people here
