Indy, the same boat problem happened to me. Fortunately I'd accidentally saved in a different spot about 10 minutes earlier. But in an otherwise well executed game, that was a pretty jarring glitch.
"Boring and bloated speech incoming in three, two, one..."
I was curious as to know (1) How many total Sidequests are there? (Unless I write down the quests as I go, I do not have a Quest List to refer to in the game itself whether in the Items section or a Journal section). (2) How many total Relics are there? and (3) How many actual Secret Rooms there are? I was wondering if anyone had compiled a list on any of these three questions in the forum and i just happened to miss it because I was too tired or not looking under the write heading? Thanx in advance:)
I'm with wildorchid7, I only found out there were side quests when I picked up the orb for church in the water tower. No idea if that was the first (probably not) or how many there are. Without a quest log/journal it does make it remarkably hard to fully experience the game. Especially as it seems some are time/event reliant. Is there a list somewhere, I couldn't find it either.
Hmm, in that case, I'm afraid I can't help. I don't think the meat is a random drop. Perhaps Indy will look at this thread and suggest what's going on. Sorry I can't suggest anything else.
