It's jarring how infrequent the auto save is.
Something major would happen and if I hadn't manually saved, the last auto save gets me back like an hour earlier.
I disable auto-saves in every game that let's me. Historically speaking, auto-saves have only served to screw me in the end or they take the Bethesda approach and fill your PC with 17,896 separate auto-saves over the course of a single play through.-No reason the game can't auto save every 5 minutes or scene transition.
Bad auto save systems need to be a source of shame for modern devs.
If you want to really knock it out the park let it be a user controlled setting. NVME? Save every 5 minutes and keep 3 rolling auto saves. Rust drive? Only save on major plot beats.
It's within their power we just have to make some demands...
Agreed. Rolled a 4 on a DC 5 check...got nommed. Had to go back quite a ways...I now compulsively manually save.It's jarring how infrequent the auto save is.

I'm like at about an hour of play time, and holy hell is this ever true. There's no way I'd make my own party like I did sometimes in BG 1 and 2. There's too much gold here!Loving the voice acting in this game! I'm getting dragged in like I was when I first played a BG game!

F5 is your best friend in this game! I don't really notice the performance hit from F5ing, and it makes my led lighting do funky things so I'm all over it!Just lost about an hour of game play including two large battles. The game never once autosaved during that time despite me hitting several major goals. I didn't quick save because it really affects performance and I thought it had been autosaving. Then I misjudged a black powder barrel and blew up the entire party with one errant firebolt.
