You should have access to it now.

I'm still confused, could you try to answer Enthalpy's question about what you mean by "locking"? I can't tell if you're trying to do psyche-locks or something else. How should Phoenix get

Basically, she's really upset and won't talk to him. He needs to present a profile of any one of her siblings (so far, there's only Lincoln, as he's what I consider the "right" option, even though any one will do). After that, a conversation will follow. By the end of said conversation, Phoenix has managed to convince Lori that he will be able to help her, and she's calmer. After that, she's willing to explain what happened at the scene of the crime, amongst other things.

Does that make sense? I probably should've just said that from the beginning.

It sounds like you want the following:

* Initially, only talk option A is accessible
* During a present conversation, talk options B and C become accessible

What do you want to happen to talk option A after that present conversation?

So talk option A is "What Happened". At first, when Phoenix asks, Lori gets too upset to answer. He presents a profile, and they have a talk, in which he reassures her that he will help her. After that, if you press "What Happened", Lori, now composed, will tell you what happened at the scene of the crime.

Does that make sense?

Oh. In a case like this, your best option is to create two conversations called "What Happened". Only the first one should be revealed. During the present conversation where she calms down, hide the first "What Happened" (where Lori is not calm) and reveal the second "What Happened" (where Lori is calm) as well as the other two talk options.

The command to hide a talk topic is "Hide a talk topic," and the other command you need is "Reveal a talk topic." Both of these are available from the Action Editor that I mentioned at the start of this topic.
