The "Replay the Save Game" Strategy Most computer gamers use the save game to maximize their playing ability. Any- time something goes wrong, they return to a saved game and replay it until they get it right. The final history of their game looks like an endless streak of lucky breaks and perfect choices. Role-playing is not about playing the perfect game. It is about building a character and creating a story. Bethesda Softworks has worked very hard to make The Elder Scrolls: Daggerfall a game that does not require players to replay their mistakes. All adversity can be overcome, excepting only the character's actual death. In fact, you will never see some of the most interesting aspects of the game unless you play through your mistakes. If your character dies, gets locked in a dungeon, or some other truly catastrophic event takes place, by all means return to your last saved game and replay it. How- ever, if your character is caught pickpocketing, if a quest goes wrong, or some other mundane mishap occurs, let it play out. You may be surprised by what happens next.

Gene Park @GenePark first i'm all for playing games your way and if a game allows save scumming and you want to do it, you should do it. but it's not for me. it's fun to live with my messy choices. imo it's not like real life. consequences in life can be awful. for video games it's not that deep Polygon @Polygon Aug 16 It's time to accept save scumming as the best way to play RPGs trib.al/ZBUNXHv : 4:41 PM.

Cohh Carnage on Save Scumming

Cohh Carnage @CohhCarnage What do I think about save scumming? I think it's absolutely bonkers that some people try to force their own version of fun on others in video games. Don't want to save scum? Don't do it. It's that easy. But to try and convince others that they aren't having fun? Ludicrous Chip @ACannedChip - Aug 9 Replying to @CohhCarnage and @baldursgate3 Hey @CohhCarnage wanted to know your opinion on save scumming. Apparently people are p----- that many players save multiple times just to get a certain outcome. What you think? 9:05 PM - Aug 9, 2023 516.9K Views ...

Raise Your Hand If You Save Scum the S**T Outta This Game

Raise Your Hand If You Save Scum the S**T Outta This Game General Discussion - [NO SPOILERS] spoiler Not for choices or anything like that but sometimes encounters just go so horrifyingly bad that it's not even worth finishing them. lol For someone who does NOT play DnD and never has, this game is actually pretty hard. But very very fun. EDIT: H--------, front page. Thanks everyone haha Did NOT expect for this post to do so well. I had just gotten out of a crappy combat encounter and just wanted to be like "Hey, who else reloads a save after horrible ambushes that are clear losses?" Apparently a lot of you :) Also just for the sake of clarification............it is NOT a bad thing at all and I'm not looking for justification for it nor do I chastise anyone who plays things more hardcore. This is just a fun question I was posing. Take care everyone and enjoy your time in BG3!! EDIT 2: Honestly surprised by the small amount of analysis on what save scumming actually is and what it refers to in some of the comments. I've always just taken it to mean that you reloaded something. I don't think it needs to refer to anything specific beyond that for the simple reason that players will decide for themselves how and when to reload a save.
