I have no idea what is going on here, but it is driving me mad.

http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n99/Shezrie/dialogbug_zpsfbaef26b.jpg. The NPC says this line and then the dialog quits as though 'goodbye' flag was selected, except it isn't. The linked topic does not appear at all after she says the line.

Everything is correctly set up. I have the SEQ file done and all other dialog works great but this one. Can anyone shed any light on what may be going on here please.

Edit, I found the problem, but not the solution, see below......

Ooooo I have isolated the problem! You cannot link to another topic with another NPC, only between topics with the same NPC.

So I cannot have NPC 1 say a line and then have that link to add a new topic to NPC 2. Yet in Oblivion it was how I did most of my dialog. Most frustrating.

So what am I missing? I need NPC 1 to say a line of dialog that adds a new topic to NPC 2. How?

you can actually basically link to each and every topic. note the "top level only" and "show topics from this quest only" checkboxes. (and sometimes, the link window's buggy and shows nothing at all)

but maybe i didn't quite get what your actual problem is

(or is it you want to get 2 npc's to have a chat? you'd make a scene for that)
