this has happened to me a number of times as well the last two days. the only thing that i can figure that is different is i seem to be getting farther into quests that can't/won't finish. an example is i gave the drum, flute, and lute to who i was supposed to, but they are still in my inventory. oh yeah, and i now have 5 1/2 louis letrush', as opposed to 3 1/2.
