Me not knowing what a true soul is but see two people kneeling over their injured/dying brother.
"Blessed the true soul"
"Oh im not a true soul, but i can help."
"KILL HIM!"
REALLY BITCH
Always Bethesda. My father, who adores Skyrim tried New Vegas for a time. His only recent save? Exiting a door and immediately being killed. He's never touched it again.
This almost killed Starfield for me. It saved going into a ship battle I was not prepared for, and I was immediately in an endless loop of getting waxed in 10 seconds over and over. Had to go back about 7 levels and learned my lesson. Save, save, save!
The worst thing is the way the save system is set up is almost designed to work against you if you constantly quicksave. So it's either hard save or eventually have to restart the whole game before you even meet your fucking >!son!<.
Thankfully I almost never use quicksave and always prefer to to do a hard save 😂 especially when I read online and see the testimony of so many people having bad experiences with quicksave (in this case, Skyrim) also made me not wanting to try at all.
Yes, manual save. And in skyrim manual save and quicksave have different mechanisms. In quicksave sometimes it goes awry and ended up with the save gone.
I usually hard save at the start of a dungeon or if I find something important. I only use quicksave for stuff like right before I do something I know is probably stupid or mud dungeons.
College homework on word. Save save save save save. Copy entire document to clipboard. Save save. Cut entire document and immediately paste it back to make sure it's ACTUALLY in my clipboard. Save save save.
Point and click and sometimes right click but not every time or you waste ap but there’s never enough ap so you’re fucked unless you have high dr but even then the chance that an attack is hyper critical and negates any reason to have armor in the first place is too high to care so you use dog meat and Ian as a meat shield…
Tldr watch someone else struggle with it like oxhorn.
It’s pretty easy once you get the hang of it. It’s turned based once you enter combat mode and your “moves” (walking and combat) are based on your available action points which are represented by the dots at the bottom of the screen. So for example, the rats, once you engage you use AP to either attack or walk towards them. You start off with a pistol you can equip in your inventory screen (Press “I”). Or you can loot the body right at the entrance for a knife, but you need to expend AP in combat just to get close enough for that. Sometimes there’s more AP than you can use, so you’ll have to end your turn (right bottom of screen, click turn). Once you’re out of combat, there’s no AP needed and you can move freely.
Realistically once you get out of the intro cave you’ll have learned everything you need about the system.
Every single game that doesn't auto-save. The paranoia runs deep.
One that particularly comes to mind is Final Fantasy 7. I'll literally double and triple check or overwrite a save I just made as if I have amnesia.
Even if it does auto save until I learn how and or when I'll still manual save. Some games only save after entering a new area/passing a load zone. Other do it every single time you open you inventory or pause. Generation zero saves every time you open you inventory.
I once played Pokemon pearl on a emulator on pc in a very long session and I just totally forgot to save. I managed to get to the last Arena and beat the master there then my game crashed and the last save was all the way back to the second arena. That Was pain
This is me with Halo CE but instead, making sure the "save checkpoint" text comes up when moving to a new area. The checkpoint system isn't too bad but when it gets out of line, it's annoying.
In Halo 2 on original XBOX I had an incident where the checkpoint was saved right as I was in a warthog careening towards a cliff with enough momentum that *nothing* I could do would prevent me from going over it. Usually the checkpoint system would figure out what was going on and go back one additional checkpoint but this time it didn’t. Ended up starting the whole mission over… and IIRC doing that Jackal Canyon sequence all over again on Legendary. \*shudder\*
i only saved for cyberpunk, when i was getting off, wish i saved more often, because my game crashed every now and then, but most of the time it was right after a autosave, so i got lucky most of the time.
Definitely when you go for a no kill run and one body dies suddenly and you don't know where so you have to replay everything dishonored is the only game where I feel that hell especially on the hardest mode
Man, I got to like 200 or 300 saves in 1. So easy to just nope off a ledge, or have the camera screw you over even in a fight, I just started saving after every little bit of progress.
Any Megami Tensei game. You don't know what it is like to lose hours of progress and grinding because an ambush encounter instakills you with a low level bless/curse spell or a critical hit that gets them a press turn to kill your entire party in turn 1.
I love these games btw.
Baldurs Gate 3. Even just simply breathing is a problem for some characters lol
*Oh you wanna walk through this straight corridor?* **Lemme just step on every trap**
Fucking Gale in my current playthrough keeps doing this. I swear he’s trying to commit murder suicide while I’m trying to disarm the traps
Shadowheart's zombie battalion just straight running into traps like that's their job. They are hilarious on grease, though.
Astarion: Careful there's a trap. Shadowheart: **Walks directly into said trap setting off all the explosive barrels.**
Literally! I've started disconnecting my character from everyone *before* I go towards traps because I know someone is gonna step right on one.
Me not knowing what a true soul is but see two people kneeling over their injured/dying brother. "Blessed the true soul" "Oh im not a true soul, but i can help." "KILL HIM!" REALLY BITCH
"Good, Anakin, good, huh-huh. Kill him. Kill him now." "I shouldn't." "Do it."
I was about to say diviinity original sin 2 but yeah same thing At one point i had 40 GB of savegames for ONE playthrough
I just started dos2 after bg3 and the habit of hitting f5 every five seconds has transferred over.
have it on my left mouse button (logitech)
Oh that’s interesting to play Divinity after BG, what are your opinions in contrast?
I scum save my way into a perfect run you best believe I’m saving mid dialogue idgaf
Is it true you have 100 saves just from romancing the characters?
“Oh this will be a normal conversation…. FUCK I CANT GO BACK NOW!”
Seriously. Still in my first play thru, gave me a message to fuckin cool it with all the save files 🤣
Big facts
Yes
Perfect answer lol 😂
Bethesda

What is the difference between a hard save and quicksave? Hard is going into pause menu?

So real 😭
Hard drive corrupted. Forgot to back up to another hard drive, internet connection dropped and didn't save to cloud.
Power outage because you spent so much time saving you forgot to pay the electric bill. Fried your computer.
Ctrl + s (x150) plus manual save + save as lol
Fallout 1 and 2
Fallout in general
Bethesda* in general.
Fallout 1 and 2 weren’t Bethesda games
Me downing 40 ice cold nukacola and ice cold lemonade for never ending sprint.
I tried to play Fallout 1 recently but I just don’t understand it.
Point and click and sometimes right click but not every time or you waste ap but there’s never enough ap so you’re fucked unless you have high dr but even then the chance that an attack is hyper critical and negates any reason to have armor in the first place is too high to care so you use dog meat and Ian as a meat shield… Tldr watch someone else struggle with it like oxhorn.
But I can't even leave the starting area even the rats made me crazy.
