Yeah, I missed half the quests. I would make it to a new map and do it 'blind' and consult the wiki AFTER fighting my way to it's boss to try to clean up what I missed. As result I made more then my share of mistakes (messed up Alfred and I really wanted that weapon, aggro'ed Eileen the second I saw her, etc).
