Yes, yes, and yes. I have a save game a bit before this happened, I remember playing through the game and dropping a save a few screens before this. I was in the danger zone expedition, I killed a fellow disciple, the leader of the first tribe I can chose to assault, who was drunk af, called Fu Bing
I then had a poetry fight with Le Xiwen I won, then the guy's sis (I think) Fu Lanfen showed up and karmic stomped my ass to -10k
Then she said
Which I'm not sure I get, since her bro was called Fu Bing a bit earlier, or maybe I'm just mixing up another character (these xianxia names man). Also what does "I'm afraid I can't let him his die" really mean? Prolly some typo or something
Anyways, right after that I try to kill the rest of the gathered disciples like on the screenshot way above, and it triggers that error, which funnily enough also bricks the buttons, so I reload the page, load an earlier save, and go with some other option.
