I am trying to make my own follower framework, and I have most things setup, just that when making my topics, I can't make the actual dialogues. The Topic text field is greyed out, and right click > new, does nothing.

Is there a specific way to go about setting up the branches/Topics in Player Dialogue ?

Not really, it works just like any other quest. Works just fine for the one I made and nothing special was required.

Maybe some screenshots of the problem you're having might help?

Sometimes it works.. sometimes it doesn't. I got it working for two topics, but when I made the third, Topic Text grays out again.

Alright...working now.
