Well I was out of town for a couple of days, so I came home tonight and patched directly from 1.3.2 to 1.4.1
I'm thinking that this was a mistake. I should've patched 1.4 first, then 1.4.1
But that's still Larian's issue. Who doesn't include all former patches in the newest one?
As far as going back a few saves.. I could try that. I don't see why my most current save is bad but one further back would be ok, but hey I'll try anything at this point.
The patched to contain all previous patches. The problem is that nobody has accepted the fact that sometimes patches will hose saves. Look at the Fallout line. Patches for those games killed saves constantly, but the game was still improved.
