Maybe continue your current story and think of it as alternate universe/parallel timeline, or something along that line. Just follow what happens in this new timeline and return to your older save when bugs are fixed to continue that story. That way you don't have to stop your current story to wait for fixes, as long as you enjoy playing and the bugs aren't causing you any issues you can't put up with. In an alternate universe Erik may want to try a different path. Just do what feels right for you and enjoy!
