Is there any way to escape it? I picked up the first quest from Dr. Hildern, but when I went to make my exit out of the lab, my character got stuck in place. I could manuever the camera/view angle though. Can't do anything with her, can't access my Pip or anything. Is this what people mean when they mention freezing? Anyone else have this problem?

Found the problem. The woman was bugged behind the door leading into the lab. I closed the door before talking to her and opened it after she walked back into the lab. I was being frozen and stuck in place for dialogue to begin with the chick, but she'd been stuck behind the door all the times I tried to leave before.
