How many saves in your game? : Fallout: New Vegas

» Sun Mar 06, 2011 8:49 pm

How many times have you saved in your game so far? Im 104 hours in and around 500+ saves in my first playthrough. I got used to saving often years ago, and its been rewarded several times when my game crashes.

150+ hours in, about 3200 saves.

Absolutely loads. As I got burned after having companions run away and disappear forever, each save now has my companion in sight so that I know that they haven't run off when I'm not looking - so most of my save screenshots are just Boone looking awkward in different locations...

I thought I was bad with 400 saves in 69 hours. I hereby award the Obsessive Saver Award to Foftw :trophy:

Yeah good idea. I was going in and out of the sewers last night and realized Ed-e and Veronica were AWOL. I was able to find them and the Wiki talked about a small glitch so I was able to get them out. Now I will check to be sure they are there before saving. I save often and after any combat or difficult situation just to be safe. Haven't really had any issues but better safe than sorry.

Current character, 17 saves, 10 hours play, though most of those saves are because I'm modding, I use saves for testing.

My first (and only) entirely complete game w/1 character was about 30-40 saves I think. But since then I've made a lot of other characters and save constantly so I can reload/replay/test stuff....so maybe about 400-450 total now. I copy saves for each character into separate folders somewhere else on my disc and exchange them out depending who I want to play. Drives me to distraction that there aren't 'by character' save game lists. Scrolling through 500+ saves is no fun! :laugh:

After I finished, I moved selected saves to a memory stick and deleted the rest. Took forever, but it was somewhere around 125 seperate saves.

I'm addicted to quick save, just about every time i turn a corner i quick save without thinking about it. i also love to just quick save then destroy a town then just quick reload

A lot... Just sayin'

When it's come to video games created with one of Bethesda's engines I have learned to save loads.

just finished a 300+ hour playthru and have 350 saves. its sad that we are being programed to do this.

about 11
9 regular where i made important choices or fun places i wanted to redo
1 autosave has its uses
1 quicksave- what keeps my game going usually

» Sun Mar 06, 2011 5:43 pm

None atm I delete often, after I get bored with a character or complete the goals set out.
When I play a character I keep 3 saves which I use on and off, depending on when I want to make sure.

PS3 Version... 2 saves.
One for each character...

» Sun Mar 06, 2011 2:40 pm

I save often, every few minutes or after anything significant, but sometimes over an old save I know I don't need for any reason (PS3).

» Sun Mar 06, 2011 11:34 pm

up to 50,mostly i only quick save,i use normals saves only when i finished some major quest or found something important...

» Sun Mar 06, 2011 10:58 am

No idea, but I know it's in the hundreds. I also rotate around 5 different saves to prevent losing too much game time if I have to load an earlier save for whatever reason. Think of it as windows restore points.
