Hello, pleasure to chat with you in person I'm a fan ;-) I went and loaded my save when I first encountered the error as well as started a new game to double check both ending with same result. At the mossy expanse map I seem to keep getting multiple at times weird area spawns all having same characteristics as below:
Scout Lvl 1: Enchanted Forest
Scout Lvl 2: Humanoid
Scout Lvl 3: ???
Stepping into any of them causes the crash/error with what it seems similar values:
java.lang.NullPointerException

Third scouting info is most baffling to me as I keep my perception at least at 7 points and have lvl 3 Surveyor skill but still get the ???.
I sincerely hope my input will be of any use to you so we could help other peeps you mentioned, specially like Mischa here with trouble actually launching the game though that seems a little different animal to tackle. Would hate for anyone to miss out. Anyway keep up the good work I really appreciate it, cheers!
