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.
