Well, damn... So, found a woman outside of Royal City, that I fought, and she took me inside the city.
Just near the Inn/tavern there's a bald guy that, if I talk to him, a speech window pops open, but it's empty and I can't close it.
After a moment something familiar pops up:
''Loading Error
Failed to load: img/faces/SlumMaleFaces.png
Retry''
Retry loops. Must close manually and reload a save.
Getting very annoying.
