maybe it is a AMD + Nvidia issue we need to think about that...
Some people are having the same issues with Intel processors though. It seems to me that it's a problem with certain cutscenes loading...as I am pretty sure there is a CutScene right after character creation and another one at the next spot it locks up.
I noticed I had NO issues with loading whatsoever (loading was actually quite fast) during normal gameplay, loading dungeons, and other areas.
