Talking with NPC's produces generic responses

Hey all. I've run into a strange bug. While it doesn't exactly break my game it is pretty annoying. When speaking with some NPC's they will only give generic responses. I can't actually talk to them. They can talk to ME if I complete a quest or meet the conditions to start one, but I cannot talk to them.

So far this seems to affect the entire Brotherhood of Steel faction and Preston Garvey. I cannot turn in blood samples to the brotherhood, technical documents or the like as that involves talking with the characters. I cannot ask Preston to be a companion. I cannot turn in quests like cleansing the commonwealth or the technology one either. I can talk to these characters but they ONLY give generic responses to my prompts. The dialogue tree does not appear.

I'm not sure what information I can give to help solve this problem but I would appreciate it if there's a fix made. I'm also not sure when it first started. When I first noted it I reverted to a save about an hour earlier and it was still a problem, so it must have happened pretty early in. I'd rather not totally lose all my progress and have to start a brand new game, I've sunk a lot of hours into this one.
