bug 1.7 stuck while entering Angolwen

[mooncatz]

I played archmage as usual and got endless loading screen while I was trying to enter Angolwen for second time. Chat stopped scrolling, I couldn't do anything, so I killed the game.
If I load the save, I get black screen and lua error en masse.
After that I asked the mod to teleport me out to worldmap. It worked but I still get the same endless loading screen if I try to enter the city.
Savefile is here https://hdd.tomsk.ru/file/mmetrolf
linux x64

Updated: it's interesting to note that I've made another archmage and the situation repeats. I entered Angolwen successfully first time and can't enter the second time.
Loading screen: https://hdd.tomsk.ru/file/vdvshbwh
Lua error: https://hdd.tomsk.ru/file/pdudhwgz

Update2 : Way to reproduce: make lvl 1 archmage, skip abashed expanse and return to Angolwen immediately. The game goes to endless loading with DLCs and works flawlessly w/o them.

I've had this happen with a a number of different levels, all different zones, classes, races. It seems like any time you revisit a level this has a chance of happening

Same here. Some version of this error message appears for me when this bug occurs:

This specific error message appeared when loading a file that is in Dreadfell. A similar message occurred for me when visiting Angolwen for the 2nd time. Deleting the respective zone in the save file fixes the issue and regenerates the zone as expected.

UPDATE: did some digging (in an effort to recover my save file) and here's the specific object in the save file that caused the error: https://pastebin.com/YZp51V4y
It's a forge giant that has the attribute "high_value" set to -inf on line 18.

should both be fixed; retest when I release 1.7b2 please
