I decided to re-instal BG2 yesterday and have just come out of Irenicus Dungeon. It seems that 90% of the people I try to talk to appear to be busy. I get the usual "Cannot initiate dialogue.....appears to be busy" etc.
I have completed the game before and never had this problem. If I quit the game and reload, it's okay for a while but then begins doing it again which makes playing the game impossible. I do have the TOB expansion instaled but I do not believe this would make any difference.
Also I have not patched the game in any way. I steer away from patches unless I find that I cannot play it otherwise. This didn't seem to have any negative effect the first time I played through it however.

Any ideas as to why or what may be causing this would be a great help cause I'm just about tearing my hair out here!
