You'll also have a hard time opening Regin's chest if you don't have the lockpicks.
You can get lockpicks as a Sorceress with Thievery, can't you? Or with Thievery + Stealth, at least (I did it in my game.) That's not enough to steal Sigurd's eye, I think...? So you can fail Regin's quest as a cross-class sorceress, and have no backup plan.
Just try to pick the lock on the chest, tell Liff his girlfriend isn't interested, drink the mead yourself, and bam, the game is unwinnable.
Granted, I think the player has to be a bit of an idiot to put the Liff quest in an unwinnable state, but the other two actions aren't implausible (it's entirely possible for a sorceress to find the chest without talking to Regin about it, since they can use Sixth Sense to locate it. They'll have had to have seen him when they joined the guild to get the lockpicks, but it's plausible that they might have put off exploring his dialog and therefore never learned that the chest has anything to do with him before they pick its lock. Likewise, the use for the mead beyond drinking it yourself is not necessarily obvious, and I'm fairly sure you can get it before learning anything about Sigurd's backstory.)
But at that point it's unwinnable. You can't challenge Sigurd because you're not a warrior, and as far as I know, just thievery isn't enough to let you steal the eye in Munarvagir -- IIRC you need the harp, which is simply not available to a non-rogue.
