icon GatEB Steam: mother/son quest dialogue missing (+1)  
In the original, the mother's room wasn't required for mastery; obviously this was changed intentionally. However, when I first approached the mother she jut said I killed her son, Gunthro's dialogue didn't trigger. On return visits she asked me if I had found her son, so the quest was triggered. Then, when I went to find the son, he just spouted his first line, Gunthro said nothing about his mother. Finally, I went back to the mother and quest was accomplished.

In other words, the initial dialogue with the mother and the dialogue with the son don't trigger as they're supposed to. The game, however, proceeds as if they did. I assume that it's because of the change to doing the quest pre-mastery. The dialogue trigger flags may not have been changed properly.

This is almost certainly my fault with the recent changes. I will need to go back and check this when I get a chance, but it's obviously something we'll need to fix asap.

I can't see anything wrong with the scripting. Are you sure you didn't indavertently hit Space to cancel dialogue?

I'm reasonably certain I didn't skip Gunthro's dialogue in the mother's room. I'm positive that I didn't when in the son's room; I was watching for it since I thought I'd missed earlier dialogue.

That said, I just restored to the end of Inner Chamber and tried it again. The dialogue all appeared properly for me. So, either it's a really esoteric bug or I must have screwed up earlier despite my certainty I didn't.

Thanks for double-checking this, KevG. Glad to hear it's working ...eh... at least some of the time. :)

That gives me confidence the hold is architected properly, even if there might be a lurking bug somewhere else.

Speaking of diolougue-related bugs, it's possible to avoid triggering some dialougue with the soldier in Outer Walls: Entrance and theres no point beyond which the dialougue stops being triggerable. If the player gets to Akandia and back before triggering it, the soldier will say he won't open the door, and then open it anyway. I suggest putting the "don't talk" flag at the first meeting with the True Court.

Thanks! We'll have a fix for this going up soon.
