I've posted this problem on several sites now and have not seen anyone had the same problem, and I need a solution. Hopefully I can get some help here.
I'm playing Awakenings now with the character I beat Origins with. I've played through the game up until Blackmarsh with the same character, but two different parties (one iteration of the group kept Nathaniel How on; the other hanged him and has Valenna in it). However, after going through the Fade quest in Blackmarsh, whether I aid the Baroness or Justice, I approach Justice and he tells me to find the Baroness. I find her and try to initiate a convo with her, but then she just loops back to whatever she said right before she brought everyone back from the Fade, casts her spell, and gets my whole party stuck in a bug-ridden no-game's land that I CAN escape into the world-map from, but I can't finish the Blackmarsh quest without speaking to the Baroness and NOT having this happen. The only problem I can think of is the possibility of having used [url="http://www.dragonagenexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=410"]Innodil's Pocket Plane[/url] while IN the Fade. I'm gonna try going through without using it, then, if that doesn't work, uninstalling it, but I want to know if anyone else here's had the problem with the Baroness after-Fade conversation loop. Hope you can help me, cuz there's no WAY I'm going to EA with this. They've helped in the past but I think this one may make their heads pop :speech:
I've gone through that part before without ever encountering the loop you speak of. On my current playthrough of Dragon Age: Awakening, Blackmarsh will be my next stop, so I'll have an opportunity to see if anything does happen.
I use the latest patch and no mods.
“The world breaks every one and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially.”
I loaded up the autosave from the very beginning of Blackmarsh Undying with the pocket plane uninstalled, and because of the battle you are teleported into, I'm quite sure I never used it within the Fade in that particular game. I didn't even use the Forgemaster Tools from The Winter Forge nor the Portable Dye Kit. Same problem. I'm able escape from her after the repeated scene, and move on with the rest of the game but it's still bugging me why it happens. Do I need to complete the quest to beat Awakenings?
I went through that part again yesterday and didn't encounter this loop. I think that something from the mods might have corrupted your game. Try backing up your files and reinstalling.

I was able to overcome the problem, although I don't know how exactly. Just purged and piecemeal replaced my override and addins folders and WALA! The Justice cutscene fired--before I didn't even know there WAS one--now I'm gonna face down the witch to make sure it works...before I play Witch Hunt FIRST and then Awakenings AGAIN. Then Golems first with an all new character, then Awakenings AGAIN. They gotta stop with the DLC cuz Fallout New Vegas is comin out soon and EVERYTHING goes on the back burner for that:laugh:...THANKS!
BTW love the quote from Macbeth, Crenshinibon (that's Jarlaxle's crystal right?)
