I fixed the issue by disabling the 60 FPS cinematic unlock fix. So for people who use the 60 FPS cinematic unlocker and can't get past the opening cutscene world, disable it again and you should be able to play.
Well I doubt it's performance related as my computer is brand new high end spec computer,
8 core 3.5ghz, 16 gb dd3 ram, graphic card AMD Radeon r9 200 series. I am also running everything on SSD drive.
I have tried skipping all instances, but it doesn't seem to matter. Now it is keeping me stuck in creation world if I chose human. I can't seem to find a patteren yet.
Sorry for posting in a somewhat old thread, but I just experienced this exact problem for the first time, and Google took me here.
After spending over half an hour customizing my characters appearance I was stuck in the mountains and couldn't get out, so I had to quit and start over. After the third attempt (the third time going for one of the pre-created faces just to see if that would work - it didn't).
I got around it by setting the graphics to the Low preset before starting a new game. I did not have to restart the game, I just change the settings from the main menu and then clicked "New Game". After I had gotten through the first few minutes of the prologue (that is, just until I was able to save my game), I went back and set the graphics to the highest settings, which really does run nicely on my computer.
I'll probably go clean up my character at the Black Emporium once I get far enough into the game to go there, but this is a pretty stupid bug which really should've been fixed by now.
2018 and this bug is still in the game. I am running a 2017 hp with Pentium i7 and 2TB and still this game won't let me past the character creation screen.
