NPCs skipping what they're saying

[REG2012]

I'm on the Riders on the Storm mission to meet with Panam. When I go up to talk to her I am presented with dialogue options which is normal. But when I am deciding what to choose she keeps yammering on really fast (only a few words are actually audible), the rest are skipped. I can see what is said on the subtitles but since she's talking so fast because of the skipping they don't match up with what she's saying! Is this a known bug?

It's very jarring and I pretty much can't tell what's going on.

EDIT

Here's a video to illustrate. (ignore the over bright). Having HDR on records it like this.

Can't say I ever saw this happen in 1.6 and haven't gotten to this point yet in 2.0, but if you aren't using any mods then yeah it's a bug as she's not supposed to be doing that.

If you aren't using any mods then be sure to report it directly to Support;

Very strange, I never went here by myself so not sure... But these dialogue lines aren't supposed to "only" be played if you drive with Panam.
Like about the sand storm, when you drive with her, Panam say it when the storm is just in front of you or almost...
I mean these dialogue line about Saul and the sand storm are triggered at specific point while driving with her, depending how fast you drive (about Saul during the big straigh line road and about the sand storm before the last turn).

The only mod I have is to disable the logos before the menu.

I'll be contacting support for sure. It's a side quest so it's not that important but I wonder if any other NPCs do this?

Yea I thought something is off. Dialogue referring to things that aren't there. And I can see the truck she's in spawn (lands and a slight bounce). And starts talking before I've even got out my vehicle.

Yep, I think the issue isn't really the game which skip dialogue, but the fact that Panam say dialogue lines she shouldn't
Because she's already at the final the destination, the game start playing one part of the dialogue which normally should happen while driving with her, then skip it to play the second part and so on.

Let me guess - you opted to meet her at the rescue location instead of riding there with her? Happened to me too. It's like the game doesn't recognise that those lines of dialogue should not be played.

I feel like I've always had a bit of a problem with audio loading, including the main character

So it is a bug.

 

[Hayashi.226]

Probably. Not game breaking, but certainly annoying.

 

[Cz_BladE]

Yep, seems like a bug- I added it into my list of issues here: Visual(scripting) issues introduced with 2.0 update | Forums - CD PROJEKT RED Feel free to share the list with CDPR Support, if you want these issues mentioned in the list fixed as well.
BTW, The Support site is working again as of today, so report away

 

[REG2012]

Ok so this bug still exists in v2.1 (Phantom Liberty). Its the final patch.

I am trying to get to the New Dawn Fades ending and one of the quests that have to be completed for that to happen is Riders on the Storm. Should I ride there with her? Will that make her say the lines at the correct time?
I'm going to try it now. I just have to find a save before I started this quest.

 

[SigilFey]

Hm. What language / subtitles are you playing with?

 

[REG2012]

English.

I loaded up a save before I had the quest. I chose to ride with Panam. The quest and dialogue worked properly. So its bugged if you choose to meet up with her.

I don't think language have something to do with the issue. No matter the language, I assume there are dialogue lines that are played when they shouldn't be played if you drive to the wraith camp alone.

There were a few problems in the past with certain languages' voice files not lining up correctly if the subtitles were in a different language. But, if both are set to English, then that's unlikely the issue.

Yeah, in fact it's dialogue lines that shouldn't be played at all, no matter the language. So indeed, they're also quite bugged, the game start playing them weird moments and stop them even if they're not completely finished
