This error occurs when an NPC or Saber in your game has been misconfigured. This is almost certainly either an NPC or Saber you’ve made yourself or one you’ve downloaded and installed via a mod/map.
First, let’s look at a working NPC file, here’s the base Jawa NPC

Notice how there are two different types of braces before and after the personality instructions highlighted in red?
An NPC/Saber file in your game is missing one of these braces, they’re located in an .npc or .sab file. You should either contact the author of the mod or you can fix it yourself by opening the pk3, going to ext_data then either sabers or npcs.
Open all the files in these directories and check them for a missing brace. You will need to extract the file from the pk3 file, edit it, save it and re-add it back to the pk3.
