Before this post i had a whole other message to you mases, and anyone else with some input, but some things got messed up and deleted and im not sure what all i had. But the message i have below is of all importance, and the one i deleted was simply speaking on how my problems were similar to what was in your link above and how my issue seems to act like a corrupt file. But i did check and it does not say it is corrupt. The message also came with a thanks to ur help and also a question with if thq reps would get my posts in their thread and most likely do something about it. Also i know i touched on how doing such things like uninstalling and reinstalling made the problem worse because now it freezes at the end of the "this is the journey so far" dialogue and I can't even go to the continue menu. Im srry i messed this up but besides the initial problems iv discussed with my original file, the story below illustrates what also happened to me as well later on.
Wow!!! Get this! Just to enlighten myself, and besides the simple fact I wanted to play this game, I started a new game just to mess around and get to play. After i made my post earlier and made further attempts to load my original file, i started this new game and got as far as baneswood I believe it's called after I messed around in the weeping crag; first quest mind u. I just got before u go to the cauldron and the game froze again exactly as it did on my first file, on a new file, 29 hours earlier than it did on my first file. This is rediculous!! Mases, is the thread u posted the only way to get through to thq? Because I do have plenty I need to say to them because this truly is terrible; I'm sure anyone can agree. I paid $65 for this game and put a lot of time into it now only to not be able to play at all. I want to post these issues in the thread u posted above and any other ways u know to speak to someone about a patch for this being put out. I'd appreciate your input.
