Since you're using Windows 8.1, have you tried running Stick of Truth in compatibility mode?

Go to D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\South Park - The Stick of Truth\

Find South Park - The Stick of Truth.exe

Right Click -> Properties

Then in the compatibility tab, click Run this program in compatibility more for: Windows 7

See if that helps.

I was able to get past the CTD by skipping the cutscene

GAME IS UNPLAYABLE AFTER PURCHASE

Same problem with me. The game crashes everytime in the videos. Either in the starting video or the one after character creation. Every time.
