Wow, when you look at it this save system in this game is pointless. After getting tired of trying to work with it, I decided to work around it. I started a new save because I was trying to practic lockpicking in Rattay and ended up getting the whole town pissed at me. And I didn’t want to revert back to an hour of save again. So I started a new save. Upon which I collected everyi single flower I could find in the Prolog torturial. As well as any flower around the Rattay area and country side. By then I already had a rather high Herbalor skill so I had a huge stock of flowers and herbs. After that I went to the Alchemy station, brought up a site on my phone and just started to make whatever potion I could till my alchemy level was 13. I got the perk Routine II, and just let the game make me a lot of Saviour Schnapps.
So now, with about 8 or so hours of gameplay (I did this all yesterday, Saturday). I now have roughly a little over 200 Saviour Schnapps. So with that I can now “save scum” my way throughout the entire game. I like how really easy it is to bypass this save system to the point that it’s whole purpose is now pointless. Though it would of been nice that I didn’t have to spend 8 or so hours doing all of this, but now I have no worry about what I do in the game, becuase now I can always save before I do anything.
