Sensuki Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Yeah you get like one rolling checkpoint save, and that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Stalker Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 And since it will be deleted when your character dies/your team wipes, you should only really need to save when you need to quit your session. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomadmerc Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Iron man mode, so looking forward to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazy Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 Are... uhm.. are you being serious? It's kinda hard to tell, honestly. It's.. It's Ironman Mode. Power outages. Computer crashes. etc... Just because I'm playing in Ironman mode doesn't mean I don't want to save my progress in case **** happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckmann Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I realize that, but that's the way Ironman Mode works. As someone on a rig with all the stability of the Hindenburg ferrying matchsticks, this is one of the primary reasons I never play Ironman Mode in any game. If it allowed you to save whenever, it wouldn't be Ironman.Some games allow you to autosave, but even that is often avoided because it's easy to kill the process and reload if something goes wrong.

Bazy Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 (edited) If it allowed you to save whenever, it wouldn't be Ironman. That doesn't make sense. You already can save anywhere. You just can't quicksave. Or can you only save in certain locations...? cause that would be awesome. Edited February 26, 2015 by Bazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can backup your ironsave if you're really worried.. actually a good idea considering all the save/load issues in the beta. But it sounds like you just want to save scum. May I suggest Normal Difficulty? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lephys Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Power outages. Computer crashes. etc... Just because I'm playing in Ironman mode doesn't mean I don't want to save my progress in case **** happens. You don't need more than one save for that. You just need it to save often. Like the new XCOM game. In Ironman Mode, it saves after every single thing you do, pretty much. So, if your game crashes (I've had that happen), then you've only missed out on like a minute of gameplay that you have to redo, because you've still got your last save. The only remaining threat I can think of is save file corruption. But, it may be that games nowadays doing Ironman Mode actually retain the information of 2 saves, only 1 of which you can ever get to. They could leapfrog each other, and always show up as "THE" save. So, if one got corrupted, you'd still only have to replay minimal content. Should we not start with some Ipelagos, or at least some Greater Ipelagos, before tackling a named Arch Ipelago? 6_u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yah that's what I was hoping for with being able to quicksave. Without a quicksave/autosave option you have to manually save... which I rarely do. And when you do so in Trial of Iron it boots you to the main screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkpriest Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I am sorry but this is hilarious... obviously it will boot you beacuse the only manual save appears when you are quiting the session.... thats the whole point of it. Other than that there are some autosave points (i have no idea how it works though but i would expect them after every combat/dialog sequence/area transition/rest.) If you want to play with manual quicksaves just play normal mode. If i recall correctly trials of iron in itself does not change anything aside of ironman mode function. The difficulty is set seperately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
