I had such an amazing time playing this game, the atmosphere, intense mystery, the fast telekinetic gameplay. It was a blast, found myself doing every sidequest I possibly could & exploring absolutely everything before continuing on the main quest. And that is where the fault lies. Mission 6, I spent 5hours doing every sidequest possible, then was excited to get back to the main scenario. I made it into the Panopticon, crossed the bridge on level 4, where I found Fortified Room 716. A large empty room, with absolutely no progression, basically an empty airport hanger with a glitched out wall where the entrance was, capable of viewing all the textures outside of the room pop in and out. I tried absolutely everything, closing & repoening the game, completeing various other sidequests in other sectors, revisiting the main scenario sector through the elevator instead of fast travel. The only solution seemed to be to erase multiple hours worth of progression & loot to completely restart the mission. The fact there is a bug so large in this game to not only halt progression, but to also require erasing it, is absolutely discouraging & frustrating to the player experience. It seems totally unacceptable that a hardlock like this would even exist. I was excited to finish the game, but this feeling of discouragement, the now promise of hardlocks being a possibility to erase hours of progression, I sadly cannot continue this game wholeheartedly.
