Still, there appears to be a problem regarding how the acquisition of side quests is influenced by faction choice. It is possible to complete a quest which has not yet been given, then find that, due to belonging to no faction or the wrong faction, it is impossible to track down the NPC who would have given the quest to you. The manner in which interaction can change, due to choices made, means that speech options which would engage the nameless hero in the completed quest are simply not available. This in turn means the full range of experience points for some side quests cannot be gained. Although the game world has been perceived as open-ended in respect of choice, this factor suggests otherwise as choices made can limit fulfillment of the quests available. However, there is a nagging suspicion in my mind that this may just be another bug that has yet to be adequately fixed.​
