The quest thing pisses me off more than any other bug I've encountered (there
have been quite a few). I'm a custom-made fighter and I'm trying to get some
reputation at the mages guild so I go on a quest to find some "Saint's Hair"
in a certain dungeon. I go in the dungeon barely make it through but finally
find the item and escape. I'm proud of myself and ready to get my reward.
I try to go back to daggerfall but it says I may not make it.
Aparently, I have some disease (Still says I'm healthy when I check). It
should tell you that you are feeling sick. I went to a nearby temple healed
myself and finally returned to daggerfall.
Unfortunatly my excitement faded when I returned to the man who asked
me for the Saint's Hair, I am greeted with "Hi Stranger". He didn't seem to
care about me any mor, nor allow me to go on another quest. He gave me 14
days to do it and it only took me around 5. If I encounter another bug tlike
this I am planning to ditch this game.
