I am not happy with the save-option too. Just need a quick-save option to leave the game and continue on the spot I saved.
We need save at exit at the very least. Autosave points are just way too sparse to actively look for them and sometimes you just dont have the time.
Also saving during sleeping is actually not working for me. Never has. What’s going wrong?

+1 Not having at least the promised Save on exit is a horrible idea. I can’t plan my life around checkpoints of this game that seem to be few and far between. And at this time, not having an easy save option when the game has game-breaking bugs is bad. I tried playing this for the first time yesterday. First there was the realization that there is no save on exit… Fine, let’s hope the checkpoints are reasonably common. Last save the game did was at the beginning of the shit-throwing quest in the tutorial. After a few minutes wondering around, I got stuck in the middle room of the tavern house, unable to go through open doors… Reload, back to shit-throwing. OK… After that, I avoided going to unnecessary locations not to hit the bug again. However, no new save for 30 minutes of doing other quests like Kunesh etc. Life got in the way and I had to quit the game. Back to shit-throwing…

Isn´t it possible to overwrite saveslots? Lets say 5 slots for autosaves which are constantly overwriting? Just asking, I know shit about this.
I’ve make a similiar topic yesterday about this problem, and some community member telling me this is what they want. I give an example from AC ORIGINS autosave system , they seems pissed off.
This is my post
https://forum.kingdomcomerpg.com/t/autosave-progress/37833
The game should have overwriting save-on-exit system like many other games (and most of rogue like games). Just one save, which is being overwrited as the game progress. The savevovice schnaps is a good addition on top of such saving system to make the game easier.
The problem is with random game crashes and freezes. You can’t pause your way out of that. I love the game but the whole losing progress due to something out of your controll is a bit irritating. Atleast with the buggy bethesda games they let u save every 10 min because they know their shit crashes lol.

No “save on exit” is indeed rather odd. If they are concerned about save scumming they can do the same thing many other games with a similar system have done.
1.) When you exit it creates a save of where you currently are
2.) When you load that save it automatically gets deleted after loading it to prevent you from abusing that save
This doesn’t help with the fact however, that the game currently only creates auto saves for main quests. Auto saving needs to happen for side quests and random encounters too.
The idea that saving anywhere is bad for ımmersıon/gameplay is based on wrong assumptions.
I invite everyone to take a mental exercise. Think about games you had the most fun in your life. The ones that you wish you could forget, so you can replay again as if for the 1st time.
Being a rpg fan myself, the games for me are witcher3, morrowind, torment, daggerfall, BG2, etc. Now think if the save system was detrimental to gameplay for these games. Would you have even more fun if there were no free-saving? or otherwise?
IMO, saving anywhere doesn’t make a difference if the gameworld itself is immersive. Restricting saving doesn’t make an average game great. It could make the game more favourable with players who choose to play at ironman in other games, but it frustrates majority of other regular gamers(not casual) who likes to play at their own pace. Just my 2 cents…

Thought I’d reply so the devs might actually fix this
Playing on Xbox X and this needs a save on exit at least.
It will stop people spam saving as they will have to sit through loading screens each time but also let people who can’t game for hours on end the chance to save and come back to without being punished.

I’m agree with you my friend
If you can try this link.
How about console my friend?
Sorry I have no clue.
If I pickup a solution also for consoles, I will add it.
I can see your point and wonder if it would have been better for them to opt for a constantly saving method instead.
Why didn’t they go for a constantly saving system similar to Darkest Dungeon?
Its too early in the morning without coffee for me to think of what the differences between the current save system and a constantly saving system would be, but if the devs want you to be unable to reload and change a decision then I feel like it would get the job done.
Its a shame the option for a player to reload and change their choices isn’t as accessible as it could be with a typical saving method and if the reason is purely down to how the devs want you to play the game I can’t say I agree with the decision but I didn’t kickstart anything or feel any entitlement about it so i’m still incredibly happy with the game and absolutely love it so far.
I agree with the plebs saying the save-system is… unfortunate.
Last night it sucked big tme. I was pondering about saving after doing some stuff that was everything but easy, but I said to myself that there would be a savepoint coming up real soon. And it was. Except the game crashed before I got there.
I yelled. I screamed. I got pissed. I used cursewords I haven’t used for years.
And still, after this, I’m pinching my last schnapps like it’s the Holy Grail because they cost a fortune and sometimes I REALLY need to quit my game before finding a place to autosave.
Some of you say that the game saves when you sleep. I’m playing on PS4 and my game does not save when I sleep.
So for now I leave the game on and snooze my PS4 instead of turning it completely off. I f****** hope they figure something out, like making the schnapps at least alot cheaper.

I have eagerly awaited this game for a year. A must have I thought, then … I learned of this INSANE saving system, and saw it as an absolute deal breaker. No sale now for me and will not purchase until the developers realise the following, and patch it:
This is a GAME!!! As in ‘pastime’, ‘hobby’, having ‘fun’, etc.
Stop with the pretentious belief that your games are actually important life changing events and let us play them the way we want instead of the way you think we should!! We all have real important lives to live.
Forget this ridiculous categorising players as ‘hardcore’, or ‘casual’. Gaming is BY DEFINITION casual, whether you play it in fifteen minute spells or fifteen hour ones, people still have lives to lead! With a quick save function you use it if you want it, you ignore it if you don’t. It’s as simple as that!
As I said, no purchase from me yet, but for those who have the game and wish to save when they want, hop over to the Nexus site and get this mod:
It was the first mod made for this game. What does that tell you??
