Allright, this game needs a walkthrough. There aren't multiple save slots as far as i am aware, and you miss one conversation, and with not-hand-holding quest log doesn't explain much, you can be absolutely lost. Now i have to look for a chest that i don't know where to look for.
And no, she won't be explaining it twice :D
Also, how do you get firewood? Yes... I tried chopping anything wood-looking with an axe.
Another problem (i have not completed all of the questlines so i might be wrong) there is no way to replay scenes. And you have one save slot (afaik). So, one suggestion, to use bed interraction when specific character using it to replay the scenes. It feels like an easier fix.
