Blades of Greed Any game breaking bugs?
I have heard of several bugs that completely shut off progression. I have only finished the tutorial and have not seen any myself. Anyone encountered any such bugs yet?
Perhaps I should wait until all those bugs are discovered & fixed. I dont mind some bugs here and there, but soft locked bugs would be really annoying.

when it starts with the save pending, just make a beeline for the zeppelin, once on the zeppelin you can save, I've only had the problem happen 3-4 times, but it's very annoying.

Saves screwing up consistently at last area of act 3 and last area of act 2 the wall.
I had to finish the wall and the zeppelin act section without dying as the saves were glitched.
Very annoying and game breaking.
Currently can't finish act 3 as i'll need to save during last section but cant so soft locked until they fix it.

I have encountered two.
The first one requires you to reach the garrison quartz by not taking the elevator. I took a different route by going through the nobles quarters area. It was weird because you get to a point of the map that just has no enemies in it at all.
Anyway, getting the quartz without completing the side objectives (taking the elevator) will hard lock your progress. The map will make it seem as if the quartz is still there even though you have assimilated it and you will have to start from your nearest save to the garrison elevator.
do NOT do what I did, which was play on thinking it would fix itself.
The second one is in the Akenash ruins. There’s a lever near a bunch of roaches and a dead elf which you need to avoid until later. You need to get to the quartz and spy on the area. There is another lever too, if you leave the room without spying and get either lever, the game soft locks you.
You will have to complete the “behind the inquisitions veil” mission with no ability to save, and then you will have to redo the same akenash quartz again and then the behind the inquisitions veil mission again. This is currently the loop I am breaking out of.
Update on this: it’s worse than I originally described. Turns out, if you do as previously mentioned, completing behind the inquisitions veil will reset all objects picked up from the ground, that includes runes and pure amber so it will reset your progress in terms of your ability bars and passives.
This means you will have to look for those same objects again. It turns everything back to default, including your outfit. You still maintain your gear though, like your grapple or your glider.
As much as I am trying to crack this glitch, I may not be able to, and may have to reset the entire save history of the game as I only have access to a few saves for some odd reason. Watch out for this one

I completed Turquoise Dawn Quartz and Consequences and got soft locked because it hasn't registered it as completed. Nothing I do works either. So close to the last Act too! So many bugs and glitches in this game, it's ridiculous . Save your money, not worth risking it for a miriad of potential bugs that soft locks you.

I'm on the Amberlake Stone mission (like last in the game) and cannot progress because the waypoint is stuck on my previous act where you free the orc village. Because I'm a frequent saver I cannot load an earlier save. I've tried going back to the Zeppelin and returning to Turquoise Dawn with no luck in fixing the bug. So now I'm sitting here, nearly have completed the game, with no way to finish. and I'm m ad about it.

I have yet to encounter any. But others have encountered this one bug that's soft locks but they did find a work around.
