Auto save system, rely's on manual saves.
Of all the things they improved, it appears that not once did it cross their minds that the Auto-save system is absolute garbage, it truly is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥. Can't they just implement a save system that saves for you every let's say 15min? I remember there being a mod for NV, CASM which improved the over all experience for me.

♥♥♥♥ THE AUTO SAVE SYSTEM

I noticed it, but it only saves if you open your pip-boy, atleast that's how I've interpritated it.

Yep only if you open ur pipboy. Reasonably speaking its an easy auto save to remember rather than f5. But the lowest setting is 5 mins. Its hard to remember when the last time you autosaved was so you tend to forget to open the pip. It takes you out of the action.

I only go to my pip when its necessary, its hard for me to associate it with saves. "oops better open my pipboy to save" doesnt cross my mind.

It is 2015. There should be an autosave by now especially since autosaves are done in seconds and dont really freeze the action. But its hard for me to say all this and pretend like its a huge outrage. The solutions here are fine. Not ideal or perfect but ok.

Still, if they offered some sort of autosave automatically anywhere every 5mins option i would definatly use it. Remembering to F5 works though but id like it automatic.

Just hit F5,that will Quick Save. F9 will load your last Quick Save. Very easy to save yourself,no need for an auto save.

I hate autosaves personally, nothing sucks more than it deciding to autosave in a losing moment, like stepping on a landmine...

Not to mention the sudden stutter of a game when it autosaves while you're out in the field.

So no, the Autosave system isn't crap. It's actually infinitely better than the one OP wants, and hence why OP is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ on a forum and not a game designer.

Problem solved. Same way we solve all the Bethesda Sandbox Game problems.

Just even more of an immersion killer sorry, but thanks for the thought!

You want immersive experience? You're going to have to craft that yourself out of mods. I'm more concerned with engagement.

Having to reload an old save and replay the last twenty minutes because the game crashed, or the physics engine did something stupid, or some npc was stuck in another cell, or some other game failure is neither immersive or engaging.
