Defeat The Executioner and Free Leitis (ACT 1 POSSIBLE BUG)

I thought it was just bad luck but now I have made two characters both of which load fine until the quest "Defeat The Executioner and Free Leitis." After killing the executioner, you are supposed to "Return to Clearfell Encampment." Both characters are now locked and I can't play because game keeps crashing after the quest completes. Any time I try to load back in with either of the two characters game crashes. All my other characters load in fine, and if I want to start a new character, that works as well. The game just seems to stop working after killing the executioner and hard crashes any time I try and load the two characters that are in the exact same location of the campaign.

Yep +1 for me too.
I have exactly the same bug. cannot continue with the game until this is fixed
