So I just finished Act I, after about a week and a couple of restarts-for-patches, and I felt like browsing the forum to see what others made of the things I'd just done.
Only what I'm discovering is that everyone else did loads of things I didn't.
After Edmond's ghost, which I got sidetracked and forgot to solve, I don't think I ever got a non-Battlefield quest in Act I. Certainly none that I can remember. I didn't trigger anything, but I went everywhere and talked to everyone. Suddenly I'm done and Samuel's saying that something I never did was particularly interesting. Whirr?
Figuring out how to solve quests is my favorite part of a game like this; I get bored easily just killing monsters. I feel cheated that I didn't trigger any. Yes, I am playing on a very low difficulty setting, but I recall reading that this would affect only combat, not story-play. So what gives? Has anyone else ended up the same kind of way?
Also, and this is an entirely unrelated question, is it part of the game design that you can't sell "unique" objects? Because I have some that I want to unload, but they don't show up in a trade dialog.
