I finished the Ancaria campaign and started the Underworld campaign both with the gladiator. I got to a part with wood elves called Dryads living in a treetop village. I was following the main quest to go into a cave on the east side. Just before I entered the cave I suddenly could not pick up loot and couldn't do any combos or combat arts. I still progressed to the net check point into another cave with a demon. Beating the demon without using and combos or combat arts, it dropped a bunch of loot. I tried to pick it up and my gladiator character went to the spot with the loot and started to just run in that spot, not moving.
Well I could reload a previous save point and start again, but it is most likely I will encounter this bug again. And, I put in about 190 hours already, so I think I had my fill and a little tired of the many bugs in this game. I love the game, but the bugs hurt the experience. I can tolerate bypassing the broken quests, but going through the game with no combos or combat arts and not picking up loot is not happening for me.
Just a warning to anyone who will start the Underworld campaign and good luck.
I think I'll start Sacred 2.

Update: Well I tried to play Sacred Gold Underworld again and I resolved the loot bug. I shut off the pick-up animation and my character could pick up loot again. But, I still could not do any combat arts or combos. I got further into the game and was fighting a group of demons when I realized that my character froze in one place! I could not move anywhere. That is all for me with this game. I really love this game, but unfortunately I won't play it anymore. I already started to move on to play Sacred 2. I heard there are bugs in that one too. ヾ(゚д゚)ノ゙

It's a known bug that came with the 2.28 version:

If you make a Combo that uses the Combat Jump the game will break, eventually. Your character is doomed, unless you have a saved instance before the glitch.

Thanks for the link. I read the thread. Many other players had the same problem as I. I forgot about the horse bug, too. After I couldn't pick up anything or do combat arts, I couldn't call my horse. I kept trying to call the horse and eventually it came. I got on to ride the horse, but I couldn't get off the horse. I guess all of those bugs are related. I have a save file before the bug, but it is far back. I could continue playing it, but I had enough of the bug filled game and just started to play Sacred 2.
Well, I guess I'll necrobump this since I have absolutely no interest in recreating my character or cheating to recreate him.

As that thread is long gone, did anyone identify what actually happens to cause this catastrophic failure? I don't understand how this glitch can be so prevalent that even exporting the character won't fix the problem. I refuse to believe there isn't some way to ultimately fix the problem.
As reposted from Steam where I just posted this message:

APPARENTLY I FIXED IT.

It took a very precise method but I can seemingly reproduce it for my character, but only because I didn't get to the final step of the bug where you get stuck in place forever.

1) Get a horse, ride it out into a mob
2) Die while on the horse. My character fell off the horse and was seemingly knocked out like immortal NPCs are.
3) It's fixed. When my Gladiator got back up, he could do everything again.

I hope this can help someone else out there.
