So I'm not a modder or anything but I was playing with the conversation.txt file and found the section concerning the nihilistic-type centurions, whose dialogue freezes after the second screen. I made a backup of the file to desktop then simply tried deleting portions of that section, and after a few attempts seem to have stumbled on a fix. Open converstion.txt in the Sword of Damocles folder and scroll down to the section of conversation that looks like this:
The 0 I added and the portion that moved up a line is in green. I turned on my cheats and ported around until I found a centurion of the correct personality type (Centurion Cnaeus in this case), battled, won, and was able to finish the dialogue. Be warned I have no idea what I deleted, but it seems to have worked. Still I'm saving my copy on desktop for a while in case I run into any snags.

The portion I deleted is in red. I then added two spaces and a 0 after the 230 in the same line, so that it looked more like the ones above it. Then I moved the line below up a space so that it now looked like this:
