Incidentally I had that problem with the sleeping people. I eventually worked around it using the save/reload thing.
One thing that I did that may have caused a bug is this: I got into the bandit camp and accepted a couple of quests. One was to find an axe, and the other was to help attack a caravan. Before I completed either of these, I told the LT in the village the location of the camp, and it was attacked... everyone inside killed. But the quests still remained in my quest book. The "attack the caravan" mission was solved by siding with the caravan people, but the axe one has yet to be solved. The axe is mysteriously absent from the location it's supposed to reside in. And even if I found it, there's no one to return it to.
Right now I'm making my way through sentinel island. When I get back to playing round with Broken Valley, I'll post what I find/did not find.
