Playing as a Brigand, crypt problem with Rayford has finally been resolved. However, instead of Hummel entering the crypt and eventually turning into a beast, once Roehm says there's nothing in there, there's an immediate fight with the beast. The resulting corpse can be conversed with on the same subjects that were discussed at Hemmel's place in the far north.
Playing as a Rogue, everything goes exactly as it should; Hummel shows up, you talk, you fight the beast, Rayford show up and you're thrown in jail. Same for the Sorcerer, everything ok in the crypt.
Previously thinking that difficulty sneaking in critical areas had been increased, simply set game speed to lowest. Now you won't be tripping over rugs, getting caught, etc.
