I had a looping death quicksave once in Skyrim that lost me hours of progress

[–] [email protected] 18 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I intentionally turn off the menu autosave because the way that one works is that it saves whenever you open the inventory/map/whatever if it has been X time since the last save, so it has a huge chance of auto saving when you're opening the inventory to see if you have any health potions/food.

I always disabled that too because autosaving was buggy. If I recall correctly, I knew I was going to die and hadn't saved in a while, so I quickly smashed F5 hoping to save my progress, but instead got put in that loop.
