Campaign save slots

[Henkka]

I'm a bit miffed that the game can have only one campaign save going at any given time. I'm playing in coop on Veteran but would like to check out the "older" missions again with higher difficulty but I can't because that would delete my current campaign.

Why is this kind of design so prevalent in modern video games? Especially ones on PC? I have a ton of space for all kinds of save files (I have like couple hundred saves just for one character in Baldur's Gate 3 and that game even saves item locations, similar to Skyrim).

Come on, devs! Give me at least 3-5 campaign save slots if you can't give me unlimited campaign saves (although I can't see why I couldn't have unlimited separate campaigns saved if I want to start a new campaign every single day until the heat death of the universe).

And why do I have to access the multiplayer from the single player in-game menu? Like, what is this? Feels like some first attempt to include a multiplayer in a video game in the entire history of video games where we are still figuring things out.

Unnecessary. Tedious. Unwelcome.

In the grim darkness of the current gaming nonsense, I have no time for this ♥♥♥♥.

Totally agree, me and my brother often use save slots in other games to not mess up each others campaign's

Its a crap shoot. I dont even want to play anymore with buddies who got the game. I keep loosing 30 plus mins of progress.

Yeah I want that too, I want to try Vet but not disrupt my current game.

Just played through the intro on hardest setting, and decided to "rego" the intro/tutorial on normal setting while learning / practicing a bit more.
...and sure enough, the save just overwrites for the ONE allowed savefile..
How ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ laughable is this? I can't even ♥♥♥♥♥♥...
Saber denies even a second save, let alone multiples, for either a different difficulty, another family member / gf/wife, or perhaps to keep separate the progress in a multiplayer- or coop-game with friends.

"60eur per save" sounds good, right? Absolute ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ joke decision. EVERYONE and ANYONE advocating this at Saber during development are absolute amateurs with their heads up their asses, and should be let go immediately.
Not even ment as hyperbole.

EDIT:
I finally managed to realize, that it is in fact possible to change difficulty inside of a campaign. My ears are red: it's easily visible top left at missions...
So yeah, the amount of anger in the above might be sliiiightly overdone from that part :)
I still hate the save-design, but there we go.

Literally on the Battle Barge, you can select the mission you want.
