I just love it when players start editing save files just so they can get to the 'juicy bits' quicker, take note when you do that you are telling the game that you have already passed the point you are now stuck at, in this game, nearly every action is governed by 'specific' stats, ( exceed them and you will bypass that trigger) surely the game would/is more enjoyable if you just play it properly, if worse comes to worse DL 'Larry5168's' grindthrough off the OP, and follow that, if and when you get stuck.
