Vanscot: So, I was just exploring around having a bunch of (initial?) quest running and had a BSOD (IRQ error), restarted the machine and launched the game again:
Surprise, all the quest I had active (maybe 8 or 9, not sure TBH) all start showing as completed.
I check the map and all the discovered places appear normal and Companions are ok. Went back to the starting area for a replacement part from one of the drones and tutorial messages appeared again, which I took as odd but placed on being the starting area.
Until I head to the elevator exit and Duras cutscene, who already was a true friend and companion, triggers again starting his questline again.

Any ideas on how to recover the quests that where open without going back to older saves?

I know I'm not that much into the game but I kind of find it slow and run around again for 10 levels because I'm a weakling that can't punch a plant is not amusing.

:/

Tenkillsmore: I have a problem as well with missions/quests, mine dissapear from the map, if there are 4 yellows to go to, I do one yellow the rest dissapear even though the mission is not done. So I say F it and quit that one play around then go to camp, the guy I was working with on the mission I quit will come up and say lets go [basicaly] and the mission is back on. I also know what you mean about not wanting to go back a few save's because man this game is real slow, with a charactor that makes a marshmellow look tough.

jackal1234: by the end of the game you will be one and two shot killing like a god... just takes some time. the first number of levels just run from everything, and if u have a companion, let them do the fighting. u still get the exp anyways!

ERISS: However, it takes some long time, and the companion doesn't help for the fights against a quest npc.
