Warning before side-missions lock

[obj_plant(var,22);]

How about letting us know if doing a certain story mission will cause side-missions to become unavailable? I'm 30 hours in and now I have to restart because apparently I passed a milestone that means a bunch of quests are just gone, and there's no way to save and load in this game, so.. Yeah. That's 30 hours wasted.

Essentially killed my enjoyment of the game entirely. Not coming back for a long while, I don't think. I can't express how upset this made me.

You don't HAVE to. You could just finish the playthrough and do another one with different story choices. The game's not actually that long if you just rush story.

I'm not in it for the story rushing through it would be pointless if I can't go back to do sidequests with all my new gear first. I'm having fun running around doing side stuff, I just wanted to see the new area and maybe get that paraglider they've been dangling in front of me.

But knowing that multiple characters might be dead because the sidequest got locked out is going to taint the entire playthrough for me. I would gladly reload to a save 5 hours prior so I could do those before moving on. But of course, we can't do that.

Unless the quest gives inhibitors I don't think it is a huge issue. But it would be good to warn people. I wouldn't restart for some side quest.

Some side quests won't even appear depending on the choices you make in the story. You'll have to play through a second time at least to see all of them, so I wouldn't sweat missing one or two the first time

it sort of makes sense though because if you help out the peacekeepers maybe the survivors don't want anything to do with you

I sided with survivors and it was a person in the bazaar who gave them to me.
It isn't about the quest reward, it's about the world state. It drives me insane knowing a character won't be around somewhere because I missed a quest, for example. Not counting the PK stuff because ♥♥♥♥ them.
