can you imagine playing for a couple of hours, thinking "oh yeah, should be no problem here, i'll just.....
OH!! WTF??....don't tell me i forgot to save....awww!!! jeesus!!...
...time to start over...... oh well. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" />...just grin and bear it! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/suspicion.gif" alt="" />
ya right!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/memad.gif" alt="" />
after that happens a few times my desire to play that game...dwindles fast.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> , especially if i have to start over again.
quicksave is good <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" /> for people like me who think that ...just one more enemy...or one more step...or i'll just take a quick look....
it's just there for you to use if you want...it's not a forced quicksave.. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
Hehe, then you're like me!
I was playing Divine Divinity today. I restarted the game with a Magician. I entered this room surrounded by several skeletons and after a while I had 8 hitpoints left when I saw this Skeletal Conjuger. I though I could face him. I started hitting him with my metheors then when he aproached, I decided it's a good time to use Restoration. I started rightclicking... after several seconds I saw it made no effect. After a second the Conjuguer struck me and I fell. When I looked at my mana bar, I saw why Restoration didn't work... NO MORE MANA!
And I had sound turned off so even if my hero shouted at me that he had no mana, I couldn't hear the poor bugger.
Oh well, now I have a female survivor...
Still, quicksaves make the game too easy. I prefer good, old normal saves.
Though I can't stand savepoints: I am playing the game then I have to go but if I go now, the hour I spent on killing monsters and doing quests will be spent in vain as the save point is many worlds/maps/corridors/towns away.
