I'm pretty far into the game already. I'm done with Fort spire and hunting down Rentar.
Well, I came across the bug where I got the crystal box without houghton telling me and the Fort emerald barriers were never taken down. I was trapped in the scree caves because the barriers were still there and one of the gate back to Fort emerald was closed.
I had to do the trick to get back to Fort Monastery. Now, Houghton is dead and I never got a quest to rescue anyone in Almaria
Am I missing a lot of things if I kill everyone in Almaria or just leave it alone?
