I've had to restart the game a couple of times now for various CC or bug related issues (Thank BW/EA!)

In the course of doing this, I was pretty irritated a few times and at one point I spammed both ESC and Space while suffering my way through the intro for the Nth time. Yes yes, I know it wasn't going to skip the intro, but I REALLY WANTED IT TO!

Doing so managed to WRECK my game files on launch.
Sara woke up to a completely full "completed" quest log and codex - and when the circuits blew right outside the cryo bay, there was nothing to scan even though Cora (or whoever) kept telling to to find the problem.

So don't do that! LOL

It's making me wonder what other neat little bugs are out there related to this that are fucking up people's file saves - Especially things like planet viability ratings etc...

I'm tired of your disingenuous assertions.

The thing that irritates me (and Bioware always does this, so I don't suppose they're going to stop) is that the beginnings of all their games are virtually unskippable (at least on PC). Gets very old sitting through it for the sixth time.

Considering the issue with this is almost always because people see their creation outside the CC and have a "kill it with fire" reaction, this problem would also mostly be avoided by just letting us change our characters face in-game. I don't know what the stick up the butt about this is. Seriously, just plunk a "redo face" station next to the respec station.

I tried doing just a 2nd character, for kicks, not NG+ and....its totally bugged. I listened to everything and skipped nothing but the game says my new Ryder has it all 76% done and the opening quest on the Hyperion doesnt boot properly. IE cant check on scott or scan for the fault at the beginning.

Anybody else remember Dungeon-Be-Gone mod from BG2?

We need that (or the equivalent) for every other BioWare game! I wish they'd do what the new Fire Emblem does and let you skip prologue after you've beaten the game once.
