Party banter

Yes, things are so wierd...I had almost no banter for the first 25-30 hours or so, then, on one day, quite a lot on Voeld, and next to nothing after that. Then I went to Eos to mop things up...had literally tons of banter. Changed Squadmates...zip. Now in Kadara, there is at least some banter. I really hope that they really found and fixed the correct bug, but I fear there may very well be a plethora of different triggers, bugs, circumstances that keep us from hearing the good stuff

I honestly hope they can fix it and not cause me to have to restart the game over from a new save. Does anyone have an idea if it's related to creating a custom Ryder vs a quickstart with all default faces, including your twin? Just throwing that out there.

My Ryder is custom and I had banter all the time in the Nomad.  On foot everything is environment related, which i think was by design because, again, if you are outside the Nomad, then you are either in combat or talking to an NPC - period.  Harvarl is an exception to that rule ... or is it?  Every 5 feet you have aggro and are in combat, so ... I guess Harvarl is not an exception after all.

I am now doing a second play-through with a "Scott" Ryder and with the exception that key conversations now call him 'Scott", there is absolutely no difference in conversation amounts.  All conversations still call me "Ryder" with the exception of cutscenes where i am specifically being addressed during an interactive conversation.

Fingers crossed for some good news and patch coming out very soon.. I really don't want to wait anothr week to play.

Lol, same.
I might cry a little if they say that the patch will come out next month or something.

Yay, two more days!
Though maybe I should remain skeptical... Banter fix for DA:I never fixed any banter for me, lol.

Yeah I already plan on removing all my saves and just starting a "clean" game with the patch. We'll see.

You don't know what a UNC is? 

Anyway, the patch notes are anything but vague.  Everything on there looks pretty specific to me.  Even that line ... fixed the banter not working ... not sure how they could have worded it to be more detailed.  Fixed ... as opposed to not fixed?

"sometimes" ....... ..... ..

I don't care about anything else. I don't even care about the extra free stuff. I'm waaaay past the point of complaining about CC or any other aesthetic crap-- I used to be upset about it but now I just want the game to at least (somewhat) function the way it's supposed to.

No one knows I guess.

They only banter while in the Nomad. And no use restarting your entire game, it will be fixed in the patch on Thursday.

I noticed well into Eos that I got nothing, after 20 plus hours of play. So I started googling and came here, and found out it was a known bug. My issues are on and off. I had a play session where it fired on Voeld in exactly the same place, so I spent 2 hours driving around, hitting this one area and triggering it. Turned off game to eat, came back, trigger point no longer worked.

Two days later, another play session on Voeld. Now they talk roughly every two minutes, random locations while driving. This was almost too frequent and I didn't want to exhaust all of it, so I just switched them all out and got caught up, so to speak. Weird. Driving around in circles to hear banter you haven't been hearing for 30 hours of gameplay sorta sucks, but better than none at all.
