Sorry for another bug report so soon, but I just restarted the game after maxing everything(?) out, and upon restarting it, I've found that I have the same amount of health that I did in my previous playthrough. Not as in I'm missing health, but in that I have more than I should. Progressing further I've found that the dialogue didn't reset either, upon talking to Tunnel Greg he gave the "My mind's folded in upon itself" line instead of the usual introductory cutscene. I've also found that (I forgot her name sorry) the "Sludge Wilds" woman and her camp didn't spawn in. Tara's dialogue did reset, same for all of the other Deep Town residents. I didn't retain any of the upgrades, so that was fine. In summary I think the only problems were the health, Tunnel Greg's dialogue, and the "Sludge Wilds" woman. Also in the previous playthrough, I fell into the sludge near a sign (not one of the readable ones, it was like a stop sign) and instead of being spawned back to safety above it, I kept spawning in it so that I had to exit the game and respawn at the previous checkpoint. Sorry again for the bug dump, I'm sure you've heard most of these already. Chrome on a cheap Chromebook again, for the platform.
EDIT: Upon restarting the game again, everything's reset.
So I was just doing the second Richter fight, as you do, when he gets stuck in the wall on the right side of the arena. I use up all of my laser eye shots on him and he curls into a ball, which I've seen happen before. Was that intentional? Anyway, I punch and kick him a couple times and he falls off the side of the arena. The camera follows him down, but stops midway through the stairway beneath the arena. I try to move and follow him down, but I'm stuck between the walls of the arena I guess? I can't see Valentine or Richter. I exited the game and thankfully it went back to my checkpoint, but just thought you might want to know. Also, really excited to see where this goes in the future, I've been here for a while. Great game! Just has a bug. Oh I was running the game on Chrome btw, on a cheap refurbished Chromebook.
