I am in game as I posted this, I've been trying to select my quest but it's as if it's an inactive screen, i can still use the arrows and dialogue but can't get a current quest. Also I wasn't able to move yesterday, I just pressed random buttons as they were mixed or something. This may be player caused "bugs" but wanted to check.
not a bug. it is annoying but that how game made it. It only points you in the direction of Main quests not side quests any quest you get after beating quest as long as the new quest is a main quest too it will show you. You can change the quest you go to in quest area and click the quest you wanna do
I can select the quest pointer for side quests, this isn't the issue
Quest helper won't display arrows or help for something you must search for, like objects lying about on the ground, or the Library books (it won't tell you where to go to find them, you must remember to collect them when you do their respective bosses).
