This is on the PS4 Pro. The beginning quest to get the tools back and get the cross guard from the castle. When I go to get the cross guard, it sends me to an infinite loading screen so I have to restart the game. Second, I knocked out the guy to get the tools from him, but it wouldn’t let me loot him. I was able to loot him in the first playthrough. The only difference is that I pressed R2 to pick up the body instead if letting it drop to the ground after knocking him out.
Yeah I’m having the exact same issues. (PS4 Pro). I’ve done all the other tasks (ale, axe, hammer, nails etc) and I’ve even spoken to the guards once already and had the dialogue where they supposedly give me the cross-guard but I don’t actually have it and when I try to speak to them again I get an endless loading screen. Also wasn’t able to loot Kunesh after knocking him out and pressing R2 to carry instead of drop.
