Yeah it was definitely weird. The reason why I am sure is, that I had leveled up to level 18 and when I died a minute later and the game loaded the last save, I was back at level 17.That is weird the game should have auto saved when you turned in the quest so I'm not sure how you lost the level unless you choose to load a manual save instead?
Situation in detail:
- I killed a spartan leader
- hell breaks lose and soldiers and 2 mercenaries attack me.
- I kill mercenary 1, but number 2 kills me off
In any case: overall I realized I am more into gaining levels (therefore doing side missions) than following the story. I wonder how it will feel once I am 50 and I still have more then half of the story to go
