Stuck in Limbo/Purgatory (Three Soul Fragments issue)

[OGI]

Hello to anyone who reads this.

I think I'm close to the end game in my first save and I seem to be stuck in limbo. I beat the rouge AI and got all three soul fragments form Ione, Vrael, and Endless. But when I get the Endless Soul fragment and Thalamus separates everyone, I get sent to some form of limbo.

I think what's supposed to happen is I'm supposed to have all of my upgrades scatter on the floor and answer some questions: But instead I do the "Upgrade get" animation and then nothing happens. I become stuck in a box with no way out. No way to answer the questions, or use items.

I'm not sure if I'm doing anything wrong or if the game is just completely glitched. I reset the game twice and nothing seemed to happen. I don't know if it's because I got 0 will or something else.

And I'd rather not replay the game again without going into NG+ as I got most of the Heroic fights finished aside from a few really heinous bosses and I'd really not want to fight some of them again.

If anyone has some potential fixes. Thanks. Otherwise; I may have to put this game on the shelf for a good while.
