Thanks for the help guys. It's just really weird at the moment. For example, I did meet Gareth all over again upon "first" time leaving the inn. But the assasin's not around anymore, nor is Kreug, and all my maps are still intact.
My quest items are also intact.
Will uninstalling and reinstalling and loading a saved game not still retain information about the maps I've discovered (which I want to undiscover) and retain all information about quests half-solved?
I'll try hopping back to Valeia and doing a reset from there, with this party in the inn. Sometime this afternoon, when I haven't got a lecture in 20 minutes
