Ok, a couple of things on the latest build and a more general issue that's been in the game for a while, mostly posting since
Viktor Black is active here.
If the game is going to soft lock from using an old save (locking after killing Hugh in this case) maybe add a "don't use old saves" warning to the changelog and / or game. My save is literally just 1 version old and it's rather annoying to get locking after messing around for an hour or so (I never finished the politics quest since the last version changelog explicitly said it was unfinished and had skipped several versions prior to that.)
I was also unable to get anything with the innkeeper, though maybe you just needed to be a good worker for him a couple of times. Regardless, I was able to get the town's support against hugh without the innkeeper quest clearing.
Have an actual equipment screen or at least a hotkey to reequip weapons or clothing when they're available. Reequipping clothing after scenes where it actually makes sense to do so, IE most of the consensual scenes would also be nice.
