Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Autosave more!!

Feed back for the team, that hopefully can get considered in future releases:

Please create more Autosave triggers!! The nautilloid had plenty, but in the rest of the world there are far too few. This game has many impossible to predict total party kill moments (unwinnable forced fights, instant death traps, etc) which is TOTALLY FINE AND I LOVE IT, but i've lost many hours over several of these incidents due to poor autosave. more than once i lost level ups, lucky item finds, even picking up party members. The one time, i spent forever organizing all my gear, marking my wares, getting everyone all set for the next part of the adventure. I hit a vendor and bought items, got everything dialed in perfectly and was so stoked. then, i stepped out the back door of the druid circle, pathed in to a guardian trap and watched as my party got wiped while i was trying to figure out what was going on and why turn based gameplay wasnt triggering. last autosave? when i showed up at the druid circle for the first time......

+1. Just got done fighting the githyanki patrol, was a close run thing my main died...then i took a long rest and went somewhere else, at which point a game bug forced me to reload. And lo and behold...i'm back to before fighting the githyanki. Didn't have the energy to do it all over again.

At least autosave on a rest would be good.

Honestly I just got in the habit of hitting f5 before coming up on basically anything (mobs, chest, door, etc). It will autosave as you run .. may drop fps for like.. 3 seconds but it's pretty quick.

I've gotten into the habit of quick-saving a lot in this game.

A good point to remember is that you can save while in combat, not just outside it. Round by round if you wanted to.

F5 is your savior, but the game should auto-save coming out of camp at the very least. Transitions are good autosave points.

I agree. More autosaves are definitely called for. I would kept expecting there to be an autosave after I teleported from one zone to the next. That would be wonderful!

It was allready menitoned countless times around here ...
Demanded situations: When enter / leave building, when enter / leave combat, after every fast travel (except camp), after every long rest, and regulary by 15-30 minutes.

Mm, ideally let us toggle if these things cause autosaves. And throwing it out there as a tangential thing (cause I haven't seen it if it is a thing in BG3) let us do Quicksaves and Quickloads.

+1. I lost hours of progress (in total) because of the lack of an autosave in critical moments.

I don't mind it, just keep auto save optional.
There are already quick saves (F5 default key) and you can even set how many quicksaves to have.

Ah, then I must've been blind, that could have saved me so much time

...there are people who don't religiously F5 multiple times every 2 minutes?

Obviously ...
