I just came back to the game after a year hiatus, and I'm thrilled they finally actually added mechanics rather than just doing endless bug and balance patches that somehow break every mod with every patch. I discovered the sneaking tutorial, and then found out that basically every stealth kill or every other stealth kill gives a level of roguery. (5 focus points) now I'm wondering what's the point of alleys anymore. They were never particularly good, but at least there was an argument to be made that they increased roguery. But now that I can just go farm hideout stealth missions, earn way more money, keep my companions in my party, and not gain crime in the process, I'm wondering what purpose alleys serve anymore?

I consider this a problem with the game. I bought it on the recent sale and had many days off to finally pour into it after hearing about it for years. I tried not to read up too much about the game to protect role-playing from meta/optimal strategizing. This lead to fun/stupid decisions like not starting as a noble, losing money on tournaments, dismissing weapon skills, not knowing Sarranids = horses, assuming archers for no reason. I had a lot of fun, but I watched a video that told me about accompanying, reminded me about zooming, and told me to get enterprises on the go.
Save file got corrupted after a computer crash. First problem was fine, my face got reduced to the lowest settings and turned white, which was weird/funny but not a crisis, since you can just change your appearance whenever you want.
But then I learned all my businesses were making exactly 0 denars. Went to check up on them, and they said all the goods in the game were "INVALID ITEMS" in a way that screamed "glitch".
So I did all the standard stuff: went to the other businesses/checked the problem in game. Closed them, opened new ones, same problem. Then I looked it up online. Turns out that's it, the save is bricked.
The game should have been stress tested. How can the save file get corrupted when the computer crashes? I wasn't even performing a save operation, how does the game know that the character I was playing was the one for that save? Does this mean ALL my saves would have gotten corrupted if I'd had more? If that's possible, do I need a new computer for this game, one that will NEVER EVER CRASH instead of like once/twice a week. Because if the computer crashes while running the game, all the save files get corrupted? That's just too much broken for me, even a (single player) Bethesda game wouldn't break all your saves on device crash this far after launch.
Does anyone have any answers? I'd like to continue but the magic has been totally undercut here, I'm tempted to leave a bad review of the game and go back to Crusader Kings, but this game was so much more engaging and the RP is like the total inverse (the games actually complement each other really well, I was having a great fucking week playing CK: Holy Fury as a crusading Spainard and getting into this game as a Sarranid mercenary, but now I'm just sad.)
