Squad Dialogue Triggers

Jaal and Vetra don't talk to each other in my game. But Jaal and Cora are chatty Kathys.

It seems we've been hit with the dreaded Bioware Banter Bug again. Almost zero banter everywhere I go, except for some area specific stuff. Fortunately it only seems to affect a few people. Unfortunately, I have it, as I did with DAI. Is there something wrong with my system that causes this bug to occur in all their new games?? And it definitely is a huge issue. Traveling around in total silence is heartbreaking. This isn't what I play Mass Effect for...

When I was on Eos I kept Cora and Liam the whole time, there was no banter back and forth. A few one liners here and there but not banter.

On the second planet, one of the Angara ones, the one covered in ice(I smashed through the game the first time), I had Cora and Peebee and they wouldn't shut up. From banter to a one liner to more banter and it just kept going.

And after that, didn't hear too much else, but since I was focused on main missions there wasn't a lot of nomad adventuring.

I think they just copied and pasted the system they had in Inquisition by its final patch and iterated on it. Same thing where sometimes they talk based on what is in front of you and other times they just talk based on timers. One requirement is that you have to be in the Nomad I think.

Although, knowing how unpolished this crap is, I'm expecting bugs that cut out banter forever and bugs that lock out loyalty missions just as it did in Inquisition.

I just came home from Voeld and I had the same bugs I've seen online where talking to squadmates teleports us to another room on the Tempest (cuz their placement is wrong) and it locks their animations up (Vetra just had a touching moment with me while not moving and the camera didn't focus on her) and Two Dracks in the same room -- this game is going to have a ton of missables on our first playthroughs unless we're really lucky or if we wait 6 months before having our first playthrough.
