Well my new disk (read a few comments on the Lionhead forums cliaming thats the cause (apparently on ANY gamr you but there is a 1/10 chance of getting a "bad" copy, but because this game is so big etc... it takes it to extremes.

I'll let you know if it works =)

Well, apart from Miss Invincible banshee in Bloodstone, I've been able to evade most glitches
and if you're stuck somewhere: travel!

No bugs for me so far. It's such a complex game - in terms of all the various interactions, I mean - that I'm not surprising bugs are cropping up.

I'm planning on buying the whole of Bowerstone so that I'll be outrageously minted once I'm finished with Fallout 3.

The glowing trail issue can be solved by turning its brightness up.

Anyway. Game breaking bugs are usually solved by starting a new character.
Inconvenient I know, but it solves the problem at least.
Not this one (Im glad tbh) I tried creating a new character and got the same problem, my new disk should be here in a few days, and I beleive thats what has caused this error - and to think I was angry at Lionhead - Its Microsoft I should be mad at.

the only nmajor gripes i have with it thus far is this stupid way the hero seems to stand up...
With one leg out in front and leaning into the conversation, just get's on my tits.
also the severe lack of actual costumes/hairstyles for characters is annoying.
The option to be able to wear a coat OPEN would have been nice because playing a woman makes all coats look completely ridiculous.
also, i tried to get the Corruption level to max (for a treasure that i won't go into) So i upped the rent of all my business (which was about everything by that point) corruption went up, i got my reward.

But when i put all the rent back to normal...
I my corruption stood strong...
people loved my rent rates but for some reason that wasn't enough.

as mentioned before sometimes when i've locked onto a person to find out what they think it'll get stuck like that and i won't be able to get rid of it.
not game breaking, just annoying.

Also, did anyone elses family crash?
I got married, had a Daughter called Tahlrym (I named her) i went away for a few years at the (un-spoiled plot point) and when i returned she was all grown up, the quest i was on was to spend some time with them i did so, but that wasn't enough for my spouse considering i took (in game) 2 days to do some bounty hunting and when i returned i had the whole "I shouldn't have to put up with this!" but of course my daughter had glitched herself to death outside my house so my husband couldn't leave without getting her, which he now couldn't do...
so i was stuck with a family who everytime i woke up threatened to leave me...

in the end i gave in and had myself a public execution.
My daughter has stood on the spot emotionless and un-responsive (like her father in the sack, lol!) [bad joke...]
ever since.

another annoying glitch i've come across is when i'm sometimes done fighting (or crushing my enemies with a wall of bullets) i'm often stuck at the end of the fight with my gun still in hand and i can't go anywhere unless i'm side stepping...

But regardless (except for the family glitch) i've been able to get on with things and complete the game.
and i'm planning my second run-through

Is there an easier way to explore Albion without it? (Other than quick traveling everywhere you been to)

You have to lower rent rates, so it's lower than 0% increase to get a purity bonus. Keeping rent rates at 0% increase keeps your Purity/Corruption the same, increasing it increases Corruption, decreasing it increases Purity.

The only glitch i've encountered is an amusingly annoying one.

I can't get laid!

Heh, seriously though i go through the actions, use the "Hot Coffee" expression (i know it's called something else but the icon is a cup of hot coffee), and she's all "I'm all yours love!" We head back to the bedroom to get our hero groove on but i get a message that states "You can't sleep now."

While this is amusing, and sadly parallel to reality sometimes, the issue stands when I'm not with my wife, i can't sleep anywhere turns out i needed to finish a quest in the mean time, but some sort of in game statement of that would of been nice.

Other than that, the only other glitch seems to be my son "Alex" is black when both me and my wife are white...

Cues "Hey Joe" the Hendrix version

I have a cool bug. When I get out of the water, I automatically whip out my rifle. It makes me feel like a bad ass navy seal.

There's apparently some pretty damn bad bugs in an official report...

One will actually prevent you from getting further in the game.

There's a list up at www.rpgamer.com

It's what I do. Ecept it's very hard to find your way to quests, since the map in the menu is very hard to read.
Random Trader man guy:"Hey chicken chaser (I named myself Chicken Chaser just for nostalgic effect), do you think you could do something about those bandits on the bridge?"
The Iron Ninja:"Not right now citizen! I'm busy getting completely lost and following my dog everywhere, wait for me Scruffs McDuff! (My dog)"
