Micky D @DeMickyD I'm way late on the whole save scumming debate but the manual for the The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall mentions this issue all the way back in 1996 and it I think it puts it into words more perfectly than any debate I've seen about it here 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. 3:41 PM.
