Default I am now a 5 minute autosave fanboy

December 19th, 2017, 04:32
I played a couple of games recently that have had 5 minute autosaves, I didnt think that was much of a big deal at the time. But man do I really feel it playing Spellforce 3. I normally save when I see something tough I got to battle or about to speak to an NPC, but it is near impossible to know if a certain mob is gonna wipe out your party in SF3. I have died twice where I have lost an hours play time and have been really frustrated by it. I have to have a break from the game now and might not play the game again.

N.B. I didnt know where to put this thread in, feel free to move this thread.

Just one? Or does it cycle a few autosave slots?

When you live in an area that has electricity problems and every now and then a brief power outage happens, you're not just autosaves fanboy, you're checkpoints hater.

It has at least 5 autosaves. The game autosaves after important events which can be anywhere between 30 minutes and hour intervals.

At first I thought you meant autosaves that go on for 5 Minutes … bake your bread in the meantime or cook your Spaghetti …
