https://steamcommunity.com/app/435150/discussions/0/3335371283883422648/?tscn=1539768431 This behavior is observed when playing Sebille, with regard to unique conversations that trigger for Ifan. IE, the ones where you get yellow exclamation marks above a party member’s head, but only for a minute or so. The little yellow mark even starts "flashing" to warn you that it's almost out of time! The bug is that it should pause while you're actually mid-dialogue with another NPC, as there’s no way to prevent expiration without rushing to an early end of the current conversation tree.
Happens when:
- Talking to Zaleskar - triggers because "Lone wolves" are mentioned.
- Talking to Exter - where Ifan had unique commentary to make.
- (May be more, those are just the 2 I can reproduce)
For players, I'd recommend disabling the UI feature where the camera zooms in on conversations, as you can miss the exclamation marks this way, and if you see such an event trigger, reload after taking your time through the dialogue first.
