Kind of an odd question, but I'm in my hyperactive "must do something right now" mode, so I decided to make a thread. Lucky you!
Anyways, I noticed that whenever I play games with a lot of autosaving (for instance, Bethesda games), I seem to not trust the autosaves that it creates, and, even if I KNOW that the autosave is secure, farther ahead, more advantageous, etc., I'll almost always choose a manual save.
Don't know why, and as far as I know, there's never been an instance where loading an autosave has caused me any type of problems.
I just don't trust them.
Which is funny when I think about it, because a couple years ago, as I was playing Oblivion, I accidentally saved over my only save for my super-powerful mage character. This could have been easily resolved by just loading an autosave. The only problem was that I turned autosaving off, because I don't trust autosaving.
I must be paranoid or something.
Anyways, do YOU trust autosaves?
Off topic: I'm getting captchas on just about every post I make, I REALLY wish the Escapist could get rid of them already.
