I am experiencing the same thing and many others are as well (just google for "map reset pillars" or "can't enter heritage hill".
First I just found it odd, that all the enemies and items (including unique ones) had respawned. I only realized that this was a bug when cut scenes and dialogues started anew too. It got really annoying, when this bug prevented me from re-entering Heritage Hill for the bounty hunting quest! The doors are closed yet I cannot obtain the key, since the Heritage Hill quest has been completed and won't start again.
Game destroying Bug?

Hello there!
