Auto-save really needs to happen after every battle
Having to open a menu and manually save every 3 minutes is a horrible experience. The auto-saves are infrequent and not often enough that you won't lose progress.

This is a major problem when playing on Hard, because you can and will lose battles on the first turn with bad rolls, and many battles are time consuming. If you forgot to save after one, dying can put you back 15-20+ minutes.

At the very least, it should automatically save after every battle.

I would rather have autosave before the start of combat than after.

That said, even Explorer/Easy mode can lead to TPK when the rolls go against the player's party.

The gaming mantra applies -- "Save Early, Save Often". F5 gets quite a bit of exercise.

Playing on Balanced, I've already experienced Tav being outright killed by enemy AI focus fire in the first turn before anyone in the party could act, sealed by an enemy goblin getting a 28 point crit with a short bow at level 2 while Tav was already at 0 from three other attacks. Brutal.

And, once Tav is dead its Game Over.

you could also just press the quick save button right after combat? takes less than a second.

I would love more autosave. I try and be good about saving it after any event happens but sometimes you just forget man and then I learn the last save was 15 minutes ago but I had accomplished so much since then 🥲

I am spoiled by auto save and generally forget about saving except when quitting the game. Unfortunately the game crashes regularly set me back 30 mins to an hour of gameplay. Yea quick save and manual save, but it's 2023 and most games have accessibility features that (if inabled) make most games a walk in the park and my handicap is forgetting to save. I just want a setting to toggle autosave times instead of them being in specific places and at camp.
