Killed randomly by stones in dungeon without a warning...

[sauron2012]

And lost 2 hours of progress.
Seriously wtf?
How to avoid this BS?!

Edit: I should state I have autosave off to avoid desktop crashes...

[Deprived Hero]

Yeah, the best thing to do is have auto save on, its a Bethesda game so it'd be likely to lose progress of even 6+hrs of gameplay without noticing. (Happened to me before)

Let this be the start of your paranoia-induced quick-save habit.

Definitely Todd Howard level design skill issue.

You need to use quicksave more often, dungeons have traps in them

got my quick-save button mapped to the - key on the keypad side, next to my mouse

Can't you save anywhere in the game? Why wouldn't you have done it sooner.

You got baptised and learned that Dark Souls is a rookie game compared to games before it.

I used to play morrowind & Diablo 1 when you weren't even on birth list.
But none of the games I played in my life had random stone falling from a roof right into your head without anything that could even suggest there is such script.

First you gotta expect traps, second there's screen shaking/blur and sound effects when stones or wooden logs fall. Third there's saving. Nothing unfair, git gud

Oh the old I was around before you were a zygote and yet it still doesn't explain why you wouldn't have saved at any point in those 2 hours of gameplay when you can save anywhere.

Wisdom does not come with age, it seems. Only memory loss and forgetfulness.

I'm not talking about logs or traps but stones that fall scripted from the roof, for example in mines or ruins.

Private profile, I don't discuss with you as you are usualy trolls.

[theo]

Yes, I consider it a trap type triggered by walking by. It's indicated by screen shaking, specific sounds, and dust

As a game developer, you're describing design that was well done. Their intent was to kill you, they succeeded.
