The quest log is crappy to the point of bugginess. It only records part of the conversation with the quest giver, often omitting vital directions. I hope PB fix that.
Have you guys tried to disable postprocessing (or is that what you mean by no dynamic lighting)? It might help performance a bit.
And I think that the only town leaders that have essential main quest item are the ones in Trelis and Mora Sul. The reputation in Trelis is easy enough to increase, Mora Sul is tighter and impossible if you give some items to the "wrong" persons. I just ran into the Mora Sul boss' house and killed him and his annoying mage friend with a halberd...
