Not sure if bug or I messed up

[Butterface Mc'Duck]

So I finished Aloths personal quest, got his reputation with me to 2, and his dialoge for 2 reputation won't initiate. I spend hours walking from place to place, resting, waiting, trying to chat him up, trying to get the reputation down and then back up with cheats, tried to finish some quests in hopes something might get the game to finaly recognise that the convo didn't strike. To no avail. I am desperate for an solution right now, it's hard enough to get him to 2 rep with him beeing the only companion not having 4 things he like, for some strange reason, and when I was playing on patch 1.1 i got that convo without problems. Now I started anew on patch 1.2 and it just won't work. Anybody got any ideas? Like literally anything, I am so tired with these game bugs that it's stoping to be fun to play at this point, shame since it's a really good game.
