Just talked to the lower guard in the spanish section of Mercury from behind (right after speaking to Gen. Ramirez) and got softlocked. The guard on top moves back and forth constantly but I can't move my character at all. Here's an screenshot of the issue ...

Just beaten it. While a little sad that i was forced to close the game instead of going back to the title screen or something, it is quite minor compared to the potential of this. That said, i did notice that the robots gained earlier fall out of favor by comparison to the bots one gets in the later junkyards. Also, how is the second game you have planned doing so far? I look forward to seeing what you bring forward with no rush....
