I can't get back out now and no older save games (my computer bogs down when there are too many saves). 

 

Am I screwed?  If I am, this is the most ridiculous situation I have ever seen and is going to make me rage quit.  I just bought the White March too, hoping to play it with my fully leveled characters.

 

On top of not being able to get out of the pit without ending the game, I can't even access the DLC!!! that is absolutely the most stupid thing I have ever seen.  They should never let you delete that old save file if this is the case.

 

Please someone tell me there is a workaround for this.

 

EDIT: Ops, you are talking about the final dungeon, not Caed Nua. Sorry, I don't think there is a way.

Console commands can put you anywhere. But they will nullify your steam achievements for that playthrough.

 

Google "Pillars console". You should find the correct commmands quickly.

 

By the way: the game will automatically do a seperate autosave before you jump into the pit in order to protect people from being stuck there. That's enough safety for most people I think.

What would you think if somebody cut his safety belt in his car and then - after an accident and a bloody nose - blames the car company because the belt was so easy to cut?

PoE could really benefit from autosaved games being in another tab or something. Most of the time they take up screen space and that's it…

As Boeroer says, the game specifically makes that autosave to let you play and look around - whether because of the xpack or otherwise. If you've deleted it, you can use console commands to teleport to an outside area, and play the xpack with no problems.

this is the most ridiculous situation I have ever seen

 

Ahem. The game warns you that jumping into the pit is a point-of-no-return.

 

Points-of-no-return are a staple of the RPG genre, and not ridiculous at all IMO.

 

I routinely delete old saves [...]

(my computer bogs down when there are too many saves)

 

 

Deleting old manual savegames makes sense.

But why would you delete the special pre-endgame autosave that Boeroer mentioned?

 

I think you have only your own negligence to blame here...

Well were you wearing the Official Obsidian issued Helicopter Propelled Anti-File Deletion Safety Helmet?? It comes special order (for free) if you Register your game with Obsidian and add additional comments of, "I am prone to deleting critical files." If you wear this cap while playing PoE, any time you're about to delete a Save Game file at a Critical Moment, an OBS Agent can remote-activate the propellers which will promptly lift you in flight away from your mouse n keyboard.

 

If you don't end up rage-quitting and instead use the Console commands provided by other more prestigious users, then I strongly recommend ordering your Safety Helmet today, while supplies last!

I have to admit I laughed.

Somehow this thread is the most depressing read I've had all year. Invasions and massacres in the news be damned, but someone intentionally deletes his saves and then blames the devs for.... allowing him to delete said saves.

I too feel the urge to jump in a pit after reading the op

Anyway, thank the devs for the console.

It seems a solution has been offered.
