The Mercies of Knowledge Stranger Mission (spoilers)

[Tater]

I'm on part 4 of this mission, but when I talk to the sheriff there is no sound. I can interact with the sheriff and and the options come up to question him, pay $100... but his mouth never moves and the is no sound. I tried every option to complete it, but after "talking" to him the only option left is to aim weapon. It never advances and I can't talk to him any further. Anyone have any ideas?

Have you tried going to the Sherrif's office as the guide suggests and just carrying on?  If you don't get the expected outcome at the Sherrif's office, I'd suggest doing something else and coming back to this in a couple of game days and see if anything in the game cache has been cleared.

Thanks Foxtrot. I did try it again last night and it worked as it was supposed to. Finally finished it up.

My I love this game. That was the first minor glitch I've had, but everything else is great. My wife plays too so we have to split playing time. She's still in chapter 2 and it's kind of cool seeing the missions again months after I played them.

You miss out on, or forget some of the dialogue sometimes.

Yeah, my partner used to enjoy watching me play the game, because most of it involved riding through breathtaking scenery, something I did a lot of when I was hunting for specific pelts.  After a while, I only targetted three star animals for the pelts I wanted, so the bloodshed was kept to a minimum.

At some point, I'll start another playthrough and enjoy it all over again.
