For some reason the game thinks you are in the middle of a cutscene. There are files added to the save when you enter new areas (Verdistis, the Dark Forest, etc), so perhaps there was a problem with that, or with some part of the game reporting back that it was finished something.
Check the number of files in the saved game folder (in '
..\Divine Divinity\Run\savegames'). There should be 22 files in the folder if you have not been to Verdistis yet, or 27 if you have.
If you have an older release of the game, did you install the
patch?
Most re-release versions should already be updated to the latest 1.0034A version, as shown in the bottom right corner of the main menu, so would not need to be patched. The DVD version is already updated, and the patch (designed for the CD version) should not be installed.
You could try backing up your save game folders (just in case) and doing a clean re-install of the game. Alternately, there is a way you can check your current install, described in the topic below.
Troubleshooting Tips (& manual install procedure)This has happened to a couple other people, but I don't recall the details, and can not find the topics at the moment (it may have been in the old forum). I'll try searching again later...
