I'm not a nerd like the rest of you loser rejects that has played the beta of this and already knows every thing and insults everyone else down that doesn't know what I know
People are fucking such rejects with the "You should know" or "It's Obvious" Bullshit
Immediately insults developers and everyone else. Lovely, just lovely.
It's a video game, having to save the game is a pretty basic mechanic of a lot of video games. You also mentioned you played the first game and suffered the same issues...so you should have definitely known to save and have no one to blame but yourself.
Honour Mode does tell you that you only have one save and that your save is erased when your entire party dies. Immediately after you select it, and right before you click Begin Game. Again, it's only your fault if you spam clicked right past that without reading.
Between this and your other thread, and the apparent anger issues you have, I'm just going to say this game isn't for you. You can blame the developers all you want to make yourself feel better, but this one definitely isn't their fault.
