So during the initial intro, my game gets stuck. Instead of jumping down off the carts once reaching the village, all the prisoners in the first cart slide forward to the front of the cart, then fall down into it, then the same thing happens to everyone in the back of the second cart, including myself, so we all get stuck in a stack, clipped into the front part of the cart, unable to move.

Screenshot 1-3 are from my POV when I get stuck, 4/5 show the other cart as the guys over there slide forward and drop down getting stuck in the cart instead of jumping off the back.

If anyone has any ideas on how I can get past this nonsense, please let me know. I am pretty irritated that I was looking forward to this game so much and now I can't even finish the intro.

Thanks!

I say everyone should have a hearty laugh at gamesas. Bugs are to be expected but its hard to tell how much of a problem stuff like this is.

Agreed. It's rather silly, but still annoying. If was anything else that still allowed me to play the game I'd be OK with it. Even the Doc's spinning head bug in New Vegas wasn't this bad. I just was really looking forward to playing last night. Oh well.

Oh yeah, I also created a video of this and uploaded it...

I think I'll try uninstalling/reinstalling the game and see where that goes.
