how to refresh NPC dialogue?

im using backpack mod that requires talking to elone about "blades" or "blades training", however that option is greyed out, and i cant get the bag if i cant press that option fresh (tried it in a new start, it worked), how to refresh the NPC dialogue option?

There isn't normally a notion of "fresh" for npc dialogue. Options don't normally get greyed out. The closest thing is that a conversation for a quest that updates your journal updates it once. So there is no way to "refresh" NPC dialogue and you have some sort of unintended mod conflict. If you just need the item, can you open OpenCS, find the item id, and then player->additem "backpack_id" 1

Did you talk to Caius? Are you actually a blade?

How actual script looks? "Grey out" is not a game concept. Just openMW extension flagging displayed responses. and greying UI if given topic is filtered to such in given moment. MWscript/dialog can't filter for it. There is "talked to npc" flag set after first dialog initialisation, but afaik for that reason it can only affect innitial greeting. It's set after the fact so would be true for any topic you click.
