However, save spots in the dungeon can be a benefit. I was reading this thread again and I think there is something to the save locations inside of dungeons.įirstly, I strongly oppose the 'normal' save system for AR - I think that Diablo 'Save and exit' feature fits the best. But we don't know what that will look like this side of Alpha. So the answer is yes, we'll make accommodation of some kind for all types of players. Like maybe keeping a save every 5 years of your life: 16, 21, 26, etc. Recently I tried to get at one of my minecraft worlds to move it to another computer, and holy cow was that ever hard to find that save file! It's practically hidden even with googling!Īs Josh said, once we nail the core permadeath feature, we'll explore options. Meaning I was going to try and hide the file somewhere random on the machine so it was different for each person so you couldn't google it's location. That said, I'm not going to put any effort into stopping people from seeing their save file. It should not be 'load game, make different choices' like a TellTale game.

The desire to 'try again' should lead to playing a new character in a new world and trying out different things and making different choices. Permadeath makes every decision REALLY matter. A big inspiration for me is Starflight II from the 80's which was a space ship rpg with permadeath.

I don't like that I do that, I kinda wish the devs wouldn't let me.Īs Josh said, we are very much going for the Rogue-like experience: procedural generation, permadeath. I save scum a lot in that game and in XCom whenever something bad happens. In previous TW they wouldn't let you save before a battle, and now they put a button right into the main combat encounter screen so I can 'have a second chance' at it. I have been playing Warhammer Total War II a lot recently.
