    I play BG2 quite a bit, so when I ran into this strange problem I have to know why it happened.

    Has anyone else had a problem with initiating dialogue, recieving the "Blah cannot speak with you at this time. Blah appears busy." message?

    I only have the exp cap remover(to lvl 40) in effect.

    Please let me know if you know what causes this, or if you know what can fix it.

    TY

    This is a regular question. It's a fairly common bug, and the best course of action is to install the latest patch.

    im guessing you have windows xp, right? that is the cause. If you cant get the patch for whatever reason, just save and reload, that'll fix it that once.

    @ chiz + @ azat : save and reload does NOT fix the problem. it *might* work once or twice, it might also not - the patch is a must

    I didn't think that this is usually a bug - it occurs when you try to talk to animals and to npc's who have other scripts in place (eg. they want you to follow them or they are running of to some place). It's only a bug when you need to talk to something (eg. Sewridge golem)
