Is it a known issue? Also, how do I avoid it?

When you talk to one of your companions and they offer you their companion quest, you autofail it the moment you take it. It's screwing up for me when talking to Felix, but I've heard that it can screw up the same way for Ellie as well (it seems distinct from the problem where the game wrongfully thinks your companion is dead when they aren't, which seems to screw Parvati's quest up).

Multiple people have apparently gotten it - I found multiple complaints when I was looking to see if there was a way around it/to avoid it for myself. Obsidian support says they're aware of it and are looking into it, but they were saying that before the last/recent patch came out (the one from a few days ago), and the patch didn't seem to fix it, so either they're still working on it, or they don't really give a shit about it.

As for avoiding it, as far as I know, there's nothing you can really do - either your game decides to fuck up or it doesn't. It's entirely out of your hands, because there's nothing you can really do to fix it.

The problem is, autofailing the companion quest straight out of the gate means you're going to get the worst outcome for that companion in the ending. Which doesn't really matter if you don't CARE about that companion, or the ending, but those are pretty much the only parts of this game I DO care about, so if that's borked, I get zero satisfaction out of playing it.

What pisses me off is that everyone was saying how the game was so much more bug-free than you'd expect from most modern AAA games (and Obsidian in general), so I bought it earlier than I likely would have, and then got a bug that is worse than almost any other possible bug could be in my eyes. As far as I'm concerned, this is on-par with one of the main quest objectives glitching and making the entire game unbeatable.
