I mean I think the dead body that's not really dead is most likely just one possible cause of the issue. The only body I ever saw do that was in a fight I loaded back and redid and it didn't occur again-but I still couldn't load back into the lower city. So clearly it must be more than just a fake dead body issue. Probably some other bad items are out there in the game thanks to patch 3. I just have no clue what mine might be.

I suspect I'll never see the end of the game with this character, and I'm not starting a new one till I know this issue and the others I've seen on here are resolved. In particular that one where the ox kills Dammon when you first enter the town in act 2-that sounds really annoying!
