understandable. i restarted because of a summoning doll crash. that perpetuated. doesn't stop me from playing that game, i still do, just without the doll for the time being. now, unlike some others who would treat that bug with the unreasoning quality they have been, i reported it, and continue enjoying the game.
now. something you might want to know. i think they have been attempting to fix the problem the 1st necromancer quest had in previous versions when travelling to battlefields. i know that when i was in the imp village, and got wisked off on this tangent to do his bidding, while i was in the abbey, if i tried to enter the battlefields, i first got dropped back in the imp village, and then i had to enter the battlefields again. leaving the battlefields dropped me at the imp village and i wasn't able to complete the necromancer quest. that is a game breaker, since that quest is part of main plot. thankfully i'd saved right after entering the abbey.
my advice is to try to not go to the battlefields until after this particular one, and work with the developers for a fix. provide them with a save game copy if possible. i know the whole blasted thing is inconvenient, but by working with them rather than railing on them, results will happen. given their response time and willingness to help and take responsibility for the recent other issues, i have faith in this.
