Advice on how to avoid quest bugs in new game

Post » Thu Jan 10, 2013 9:27 pm

I'm about to start a new game and I was wondering if there are any quests or actions I could take to get as little bugged "Unfinishable" quests as posible. I know it will be imposible for every quest to work out properly, but I know sometimes doing one thing before another can cause bugs, like getting quest items before actually having the quest for said item.

I know "save often" is one way to try to keep on top of things BTW.

If there's anything you remember that I should'nt do, or something I should do or never do before doing something else, I'd really apreciate it.

I'm on PS3.

Thank You.

I have to tell you, that I started this game on release day, and on my first character had 90% of the quest content completed other than two factions. All this before the second patch. There was a release day patch. Anyway none of my quests failed or broke. I had two issue where i had to load an earlier save because the game glitched and the quest would not work, and no these were not the ones that most people talk about.

It is not a guarantee that the game will glitch, it is just something you have to prepare for. That means not playing on one save, not using the autosave features and always having a save to go back to from before you got the quest in question.

Also, try not to start, accepting is OK, but starting too many quests at once can lead to indigestion of the game.

Do Blood on the ice as early as possible and if you do DB early, look up your "mark" and see if they have a nother quest that crosses. Most named items belong to quests, don't pick them up unless on tha t quest. Now picking up some will start the quest, better to be safe Than sorry
