Could someone explain how autosave and quicksave work, please?
What I have been able to find out is:
- File 1 (save slot 1) is for autosave
- File 2 (save slot 2) is for quicksave
- F5 is quicksave key
At beginning of game(just after Meredith joins), I hit F5 twice (because nothing seemed to happen first time, no message onscreen). 2 saves were created, one at File 2 and another at File 3 (no previous saves). File 1 (save slot 1) is empty.
- File 2: Playtime = 00:18:54, total saves = 3
- File 3: playtime = 00:12:46, total saves = 1
The difference between the two seems odd, given they were made within a second of each other. Is the save mechanism borked or is there a reason for the difference in playtime and total saves?
And, how does autosave work, please? Do I need to activate it in some way?
Lastly, is there a keypress for quickload and/or autoload?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
UPDATE 1
I advanced to clearing the castle and visiting the succubus in cave in the prison. I tried loading the File 1 (save slot 1), which was empty, after talking to her and it loaded to entering the cave to talk to her. So, I presume autosave just works.
UPDATE 2
I tried using F5 for quicksave again and that appears to work, too.
