hi,

i'm about to remove my save files and all progress for the 3rd time.
every time when i start the game up it seems like there's a new problem.

all NPC's appear dead, quest dialogue does not trigger (Seas of Fate currently) and i'm sitting in a ship while the quest does not trigger/progress.

the game has been out for a while now and i just spent a bunch of money on it thinking most of the bugs (if there were any) would have been fixed but i'm actually regretting buying it right now.
last night i started a new game for the 2nd time, picked up a 600 euro graphics card today, drove about 4, 5 hours for it, slapped it into my PC to find that my saves/quests got bugged again.

what to do now? start from scratch once more and hope when i play some tomorrow, nothing weird happens?

do you guys have any idea what might cause NPC's to be dead after loading a game or what's going on?
at this point i'm questioning whether or not i wasted my money and time and hoping there is either a work-around or an actual fix otherwise i would very much like my money back so i can consider buying again at a later point if/when things are fixed
