Sorry for double posting, but I felt it necessary to bump this.
So I continued playing from what it started me on, level 2 and I died to restart. When I went to start a new game it crashed after the dialogue, and by crashed I mean it simply just exited from the program. Furthermore I restarted it and went to new game and it put me straight into level 2 again, there was no dialogue, no name input, and no skill leveling that normally takes place at the beginning. So it repeated what it did the first time.
Any ideas?
