I just came back from the island, went back to tell Arantheal and the others what happened with Firespark. After all the talking and speaking with Lishari I wanted to go to the Beacon to talk with Arantheal, but it says "This person is busy".
I tried waiting 24 hours but that didn't help.

Is it a known bug, any way to fix it?

"This Person Is Busy" seems quite common. Probably CPU related because of sheer # of scripts Enderal uses.

Dialogue-- esp. if NPC is moving from one place to another, and has animation-- paces floor, looks at map, rubs chin... tends to get the "Person is busy" thing.

Give whatever it's supposed to be doing in the background time finish. If 5-10 minutes still "busy" - try exiting cell, going back in, rinse & repeat.

If that doesn't work, can console stages, but (for me at least) dialogue always worked for MQ, just very slow sometimes.

Best wishes & post back if still stuck. : )

Actually I already managed to solve the problem. I started shield bashing him and 3 bashes got him running again. Guess old people sometimes need a little push.

That's funny. ; )

Will have to try that and see if it gets someone's attention or end up triggering City Watch.

"Stop right there criminal scum! Your crime spree is at an end!"

Anyway, glad it worked!
