Let me be general here to avoid spoilers.
My first run through I completed a major quest in an untraditional way (lock picking and completing the area before receiving the key and quest). No matter how I tried, after receiving the quest the normal way, it would not acknowledge my success (even though I had the token of success in my inventory).
I therefore started over with a new character. The new character could not resist a pretty obvious shortcut and so complete a quest again out of sequence. Since then the character can not advance the plot in a related way, or in another unrelated way. The quests and story line are not progressing in the one case, and the finish of the quest is not being acknowledged in other instance.
Having played the first two chapters of the game, I am unused to this problem, as the games have always been unilinear and I have never seen this issue.
Am I experiencing a bug? It has made the game unplayable since I would have to use a walk through to ensure I did everything just right. That doesn't sound like the Eschalon games to me.
Using a MacBook with El Capitan and v. 1.01 from the App Store. Happy to send a saved game if it will help (writing from my iPad ATM). Can also post specifics under a spoiler, if you wish.

Re: Won't accept finished quests
Specifics under a spoiler would help, as would a saved game. This is probably a bug, which we could add to the list, but BW is no longer actively maintaining Book III. The best we can likely offer you is a work-around involving modifying your saved game.

Re: Won't accept finished quests
Good to know it was stupid human error, and not the game. Now I can continue with confidence. So sorry to have wasted your time.
