Solved Possible Bug - In the Hall of the Toilet King, catch-22 dialogue

[cosmic-cube-keeper]

The intro scene between the Toilet King and Rook played, but now everything's stuck.
When attempting to talk to the Toilet King, he only says, "Keep your distance, peasant!"
When speaking to Rook, he says, "I got nothin' to say..."
And speaking to Skeetz, he says "Skeezits? Talk to King!"

These are their 'failsafe' dialogues.

Sounds like you broke away from or were too far from the question he asks you after his scene with Rook.

 

[cosmic-cube-keeper]

I ended up using the console to bypass the scene. I was then able to complete the quest normally.

 

[cosmic-cube-keeper]

Looks like that entire save was borked, so I restarted. Had no trouble with the scene this time. So it was just something on my end.

 

[kinggath]

I'll definitely put some more catches in there to ensure the scene fires again if someone pulls too far away from him and Rook. If someone were to enter and then leave the building before answering, for example, I could see it getting stuck.

I had the same problem because I was standing at the foot of the stairs while they had their scene. Maybe just make the catch area bigger?

 

[cosmic-cube-keeper]

I think the optimal way to enter is from the white door to the left (when facing the stairway & where Rook stands); that way you should be in the right place to trigger the scene & be in position for the King's question. This place has four (?) ways into it, only one of them really lining up with the correct position to be in.

I have listed this issue as a Bug in the Conqueror Bug forum and placed it on the list in Consolidated Conqueror Concerns thread.

 

[kinggath]

Added several hooks for 4.0.6 so that if you are too far away when he tries to speak to you, you can trigger the quest yourself by manually talking to TK after his scene with Rook has finished.

 

[cosmic-cube-keeper]

Brilliant as always. Though I've now learned where the 'sweet spot' is, knowing where I should be standing when the Toilet King begins his monologue.

 

[cosmic-cube-keeper]

Yup, definitely solved. Dialogue ran without difficulty this time around.
