Failable quests + autosave only = bad design
Seriously, who thought this was a good idea? Why would anyone be having a good time by failing a quest because of some obtuse quest pointers only to find themselves unable to redo it because autosave is the only option here?

You're trying to create something fresh. Why do you have to introduce something with such an obvious potential to cause massive frustration? It doesn't make sense at all.

Oh.. well Sh*t.
Wish I knew that before I bought it..

Ugh. wonder if I can jump into the game's folder and make manual backups like what I've done in the past :lunar2020thinkingtiger:

Using back-up saves sounds like the best option.

I think the delayed book delivery quest is the first failable one.

Welp, played a little before work, I uh.. *Hope* my game saved.. This really needs a "Last Autosaved X minutes ago" indicator in the Start menu if the dev is insisting on using this system so we know when and where the heck we're checkpointed.

The game does not let you save manually, but it creates multiple saves. I don't know exactly how that works though and it could be possible to load a save from before failing the quest if you're lucky.
Well, the game allows you to save manually, and if you fail a quest, you can load an older save. It’s a great and fun game! Your comment doesn’t makes sense at all in my opinion.

It took them a few months and patches to finally add manual save

The fact that an *RPG* launched without the ability to save was kind a huge offputting deal, and I just hope it didn't hurt the dev's sales too much :SupraSadFace:

Just a shame they didn't listen to all the original Demo feedback and decided to launch it without essential features like this in the first place.
