How to 'quick save'???

Shrylia · 07-05-2002, 07:57 AM

I am drawing a blank here on how to quick save this game. There must be a key. I thought it was 'S' but no. Please help! I am so tired of picking Options and then Saving. Thanks!

By Standard "G"

oh that makes perfect sense... to quicksave(q) you need to hit "g" hmm, ok maybe i just got used to bg2 where "q" is for quicksave

yes, G is a very strange button for quicksaving. i discovered it on accident...i dropped a pen on my keyboard and it landed right on G and sat there for a second before falling over! ...game saving... lol

maybe it was a message from god... he decided it was time to tell me how to quicksave [img]smile.gif[/img]

Well, well. How obscure can you get. Maybe 'G' stands for the game part of save game. They probably ran out of available letters for actions. BUT at least they could have mentioned it in the manual - sheesh. Thanks for stopping the maddness!

You can change the quicksave key in options. I changed mine to 'S'. Its in 'controls' then 'change key settings' then 'misc'.

Gosh, I just NOW learned this.

And I was wasting so much time saving the long way.... no I can be paranoid and save before I do anything again

The game doesn't auto save enough...hardly at all. I got so sick of re-doing things I looked all over for the auto-save. I only wish you could bind it to a mouse button.

I don't know if it's in the manual. But it is on the quick reference card - a very useful thing, I've found, especially for working out how to move the camera angle and so on [img]smile.gif[/img]
