maybe I'm strange but it's really so a problem not having compatible save file ? now we are talking about the game whose updates come out every 3 months (minimum), replay again all I do not see a drama, because now the stories becoming more intertwined is still advisable to start from the beginning (if not risk of losing some pieces ), a way to bypass the problem could be to insert in the cheat mode the statistics at max (charisma, strength, resistance, intelligence), in this way remove most of the boring part
at this point in the game I prefer new things, redoing the history of erik for the save file I gladly do at least
(Sorry my english )
