Hi!
I am wondering about the F4 save game system. I think it is the least innovated things in gaming and many modern games uses basicly the same system as games 10 years ago. But, it is also something that gamers use A LOT. I wonder, why is that? Some games dont even bother put in the "Load last save" or "Continue" buttons...
This is the saving system i hope F4 has.
At the main menu there is of course the "Contiue" button that loads the last save you made. There should also be "Load specific save" or something like that.
First thing when pops up selecting "Load specific save" should be character select screen. That should have all characters created on that PC and, last play times, character level, last location and screen capture image of the moment of last save. Also, it would be nice touch if you chould add comment for that character. Deleting character and all its saves is essential... it would also be nice if you could choose during the save: do you want to delete al saves or just remove character from list.
At character list, there also should be 2 buttons for each character: Load last save and browse saves. The "Browse saves" button would take you to next screen and that is... saves grouped by character level. You can open levels and select the save you want. You also should be able to select multiple character levels and delete all saves they contain. Nice way to save space if there are multiple characters and thousands of saves.
I mean. Would it be so hard to do? It would go along way for people with multiple characters and mods - something that many games, and F4, encourage? I hope Bethesda gave more thought to save system than they gave it during Skyrim development. I doubt it.. but i truly hope so. It would also be a nice patch update.... so im putting my thoughts out there!
