My first post, excuse me if this has been reported previously.
I restarted the game with a different combination of characters and it seems that the quest information has been retained from my previous savegame.
I entered Cyseal, put out the fire and walked down to get the "Find work for sailors" quest from Philip(?). His response was, "Thanks for your help", as if the quest is completed.
Also, I have dialogue options that I shouldn't have available, such as the Staff of Pergamon and the Fabulous Five, things I shouldn't know about at this stage.
Also #2, My map markers that I placed on the map have also been retained.
I know the meaning of "Alpha", but we have no point of reference, so I thought I would report everything that seems "out of place".
