TERRIBLE save system!

[Saul Goodman]

I don't remeber how it was in original Fable, as I played it like 10 years ago and have played many games since then. But I have to say, that current Fable's system is just TERRIBLE and pisses me off like hell. Here's why: I played it in one playthrough to the point where you finish magic training, and then I choose "Save" because I had to go to work. When I got back home, I started this game, choose LOAD (or continue - it's the same crap), and - bam! I play as a kid right after killing those bugs in the forest. How on earth is that possible? Why todays games have so messed up save system? Who said - "wait, the SAVE ANYWHERE ANYTIME system is wrong, let's turn it into checkpoints". I'm so angry I don't want to play it anymore, since I may finish like half a game just to find out later that it actualy saved not when I choose to do so but few hours earlier.

Save anytime? you couldn't save anytime in lost chapters (frankly the save system wasn't all that great there.), if you're in a quest and leave bam you lost all progress.. and seriously, it's just the tutorial and it's only like 20 minutes calm down.

You could abuse that and gain more EXP and silverkeys in rose mansion than you were supposed to. GG actually.

That's why they removed hero saves.

Who wants quicksaves and such, i mean that old crap. Nah Checkpoint save is the future, its so much better in 0 ways, and it even increases replayability, forcing to to play the same parts over and over again, after each crash and freeze.

Yeah it really boggles the mind. Its just a horrible port in every regard.

I enjoy everything in this "new" Fable except that save system. I don't have any problems regarding visuals or lagging/crashes etc. Mouse&keybord works pretty good. But I can't understand why the hell there are no qucicksaves? I don't have time either to play from checkpoint to checkpoint everytime I just feel like playing a little or replaying a whole part because of that "♥♥♥♥ you, you can't quicksave" thing.

Imagine your PC breaks or you don't touch the game for weeks. Then you come back and think "Great, I know how to cast lightning, but how did the melee and ranged controls work? I wanna practice!"
Who'd you blame for that? The developer, right?
"I had to start a new game, because I couldn't replay the tutorial on my last save!"

Believe me, there are people who are that lazy if not even dumb.

That would be my problem and I would be to blame. How can you defend forced-save system? It's dumb to be happy, because A GAME TELLS YOU when you can stop playing it without no harm to the story and no time waste. You should be the one to decide, always.

Pause
Alt-Tab.
Leave computer on if you're going to sleep.
Go back to game.
Save it once you're in a safe spot.

Yeah, because that's eco-friendly, to let my pc waste energy for hours. Stop being ridiculous if you want to - somehow - defend that horrible save system.

1. Make sure you have enough time to spend more then 10 minutes to complete the tutorial section.
2. Save after tutorial.
3. Save before starting quests.
4. Quit game and re-do the quests if you're in a hurry.
5. Pretty sure there are checkpoints in the game.
6. Don't quit with Alt F4.

The game auto-saves whenever you enter an area. When you manually save you're basically re-saving the most recent auto-save to a new slot.

so. no idea if anyone will read this can someone explain the save system to me? what is the point in a save option how does it work it clearly doesn't save I'm blind and got fable just for the controller support. I have tlc but I can't use the main menu and once I hit save I can't use the arrow keys anymore which is just dumb. so I was super excited because I can play fable again, just to find out aaaall the menu are changed now all the will is in one thing which really sucks, I have no idea what's up in inventory so I can't even equip weapons anymore, and trading is messed up to I cheated my gold so I can buy potions and food the plan was to just buy from the guy in bowerstone sense he only sells food potions a shovel and a fishing rod if I remember correctly I actually edited the gold by looking up how much you got fined for having a weapon out in oakvale and usign cheat engen with unknown value and decreased by 40. if anyone really wants to no how I play the game I'll explain it somewhere else. its rather hard in certain places like parts of darkwood and greatwood like camp for instance anyways I've rambled any help would be great. and if anyone has a save file that is passed twinblades camp that would be great. I just hope I can still do darkwood like I used to. if not then that's gonna suck

I know it's like, years after this post, but man, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ deal, or just don't play games. You're a working class human being, and a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ adult, don't throw a baby tantrum over something so little. "I lost some progress, oh well, I got some time to spare so guess I'll do it again, it's only one time and I know now for future reference"

Christ.
