I continued doing a few quests and delving into some dungeons, and then I went off to another merchant to sell my items, and that's when I see it: 6 pieces of firewood in my inventory, yet again. I never chopped any wood and I was very confused. I assumed I might have reloaded a save from before I sold the firewood without realizing it or something. So I sell the firewood.
Now, I'm certain this is no coincidence, because after that it's happened around 8 more times. I have 6 pieces of firewood that just keep on showing up in my inventory and eating my space no matter how many times I try to sell it, it keeps appearing a few hours later. What's the deal with this? Anybody ever encounter something like this?
