Wow. If the cheat button is available, that's a mistake on my part, I must forgot deactivate it after closed beta, and no one told.I'm freezing in 2 spots. The tutorial about negotiations when you hand him an item the hourglass comes up but never goes away. I skipped that and instead just have him give me the info on all the family houses. I am also freezing when handing in the potion to major Baralis. I am not sure how to get around this one.
I did click the cheat button that was available in one of the windows. I am not sure if that would have bugged anything.
I have tried restarting but the hourglass pops up and stays.
Yes, using Cheats bug the game, specially early on. You're not supossed to have some items. The cheat button is only meant to test last stages of the games, so some sequences could be bugged if Cheat button is used; It should not be there.
Sameway, using cheat engine etc to modify variables will bug the game if player doesn't know what is doing. In future releases I plan to put a good cheat menu, but we're not there yet.
You better restart, just skip the prologue in the main menu this time.
And as a general tip, never save the game after using cheats.
