From the updates: There was an issue with the save files. Everything should be fine if you start a new game now. Loading shouldn’t be a problem after this point. Sorry for the inconvenience.
there should be an option to decline handing over items for side quests. i sometimes talk to everyone i see and then i go in the area again, a accidentally talk to the person again and hand over valuable crafting items or stat bossing items.
