[NOTR] Henry won't talk

[Novicek]

Describe the bug
Henry (the NPC guarding the entrance to the pirate camp) only says "leave me alone" when interacting with him. No dialogue popup even begins.

I don't believe I've done anything that should break him, he was like that since I first visited the camp (I think you're meant to get past him the first time you try to enter) and stays that way even after already progressing the camp quests a little (Greg returned). Funnily, when getting the quest to slay the razors, coming in range of him made him start spamming the line, as if he was trying to interact with me, but was still prevented from doing it.

Prevents any quests related to him and using him as a teacher.

Update: After beating the bandits in the tower outside the pirate camp, suddenly he started talking to me.

Another update: It seems if you walk past him into the camp, he goes into the "leave me alone" state and if you walk away from the camp (roughly just up the stairs leading from the camp), he goes back into talking to you. You have to basically talk to him from max distance though.

Hi, @Novicek and thanks for report!

Henry and other guards in general, but Henry is more common can have a "timeout" state in the script, when he refuses to talk:

I need to check, maybe in OpenGothic it happens more often

Thanks for the response.

I've only played NOTR once (long time ago), but I don't remember this being an issue. And haven't encountered this with any other guard in the game (so far) in OpenGothic either. Wonder what causes this state to happen.
