Can't talk to any NPCs, vampire ability does not work

xtni

My mesmerize has worked on all npc's right up until last night. Now it does not effect any npc's.

When I use mesmerize around npc's they still will not talk to me, and the visual effect is not showing on them, as if the ability is just going right through them.

I saw on another post, this has been an issue since pts, and it is still not fixed yet...
This is so annoying, and really breaks immersion for me.

There are no ways I can fix it. I have cured my vampirism, removed all the abilities and reselected them, tried attacking people in city to see if that triggers some result... I have no idea of what to do about this?

Now I can not sell or repair, I can not talk to any npc's that are not absolutely essential to my gameplay as long as I am a stage 4 vampire.

Please just fix this damn, gamebreaking bug or remove the mechanic of people not talking to stage 4 vamps if you can not get the ability to work as it is intended... because this is just stupid.

Merchants(and other NPC's) not talking to you is kind of a stupid drawback. Especially since they do not have a specific vampire-town, where all vampires can do business. And because in overland content there are many vampires stories, about vampires who were respected by all other NPC's.

So NPC's turning down vampires stonecold is not a good thing.

PS: I also wish we could lock our vampire stage to a specific stage.

Make sure you disable the "Prevent targeting of innocents"(?) option under Combat(?). That can cause issues, since you're not "targeting" the NPC with the ability, so it has no effect.

Honest question here:

Is it all NPCs? Do the folks in Coldharbour have issues with vampires?

We actually do, the Hollow City is completely neutral from the justice system.
