What version of the game are you on? This should be fixed as of v1.0.7, I remember someone mentioning this bug in a previous version.
If you're still getting this in v1.0.7, can you message me on Discord with your save file or take a screencap of the last two dialogue boxes before this locks up for you, so I can investigate what path is causing this freeze?
An easy way to skip this though would be to do a cutscene to change your Ideals, but outside of that, there shouldn't be a way with a hex editor etc. to skip it.
Thanks for the well wishes, too :)
