Hello @Jorlem,

I'm sorry this happened to your playthrough. We are actively tracking this issue and have identified that it is unique to this dialog, so your other options in other dialogs should not be affected by this bug.

Thank you for your support,
David

It's absolutely the conversation being busted. I tried using some memory editing to change your skills on that save file, and even with 20 in every Attribute and 90 Base Points in every Skill, neither Lore nor Athletics would work.

So as frustrating as it is to not be able to pick those options, and as unpolished as the game is, it's something that has to be patched and unless there's more busted conversations (which is pretty likely) it's not something that should occur again (or too often, anyway). Your character seems fine.

Edit: Ninja'd by David himself. Neat.

Thank you.

If I may ask, what were those options supposed to do?

Ahh, I had this same bug. But I just kind of shrugged it off as "Requirement Not Meant" must mean there's a second hidden requirement.

@Obsidian_David is there no work around to this, no script commands that can get us past it?

This conversation does work on the Anarchy path. You just pull them out and free them and they go back to base, you get a bit of disfavored favor. So you're not missing out on much, other than a bit of flavor text and the favor gain.

Thank you.

The other two options in this dialog are more flavorful ways to get the prisoners out, the first non-gated option will accomplish the same result.

Athletics: "[Life them out.] None of you look all that heavy... give me your hand."
Lore: "[Improvie a level.] One of those spears looks loose. Uproot it and I'll use it to pull you out."​

Unfortunately there is no easy command to fix this, and it's a little lower on the priority to fix, but we are looking to address this in a future patch.

Thank you all for you support,
David
