saving games in certain rpgs

[SuperSabin]

have any of you experienced this in certain rpgs where you save and then you get killed and when you load your last save you automatically get killed again due to enemies spawning exactly where you're at?

it probably happens in other genres too, if thats the cast, have you experienced this sort of phenomenon? if so what game?

Hm? I don't see how this can happen unless it's a game where you can save anywhere you want, or like quicksaving on an emulator.

Is that what you mean?

[SuperSabin]

yeah something like that, a game where you can either save anywhere or use quicksave.

[GypsyElder]

Oh lol well, you probably shouldn't have saved in that spot?

I've never had that problem, but to be safe when I'm playing on an emulator for example, I'll quicksave along the way whenever I want, but I also update save on the memory card just to be safe. That way I can go back to a point close to where I am just in case I miss something important.

I think the worst saving related incident i ever had was in an fps. I was playing through the game without really paying too much attention to where i was going and ended up falling to my death off the side of a cliff. Now usually it's not too bad right? just revert to the last checkpoint and all that jazz. My checkpoint was in mid air. Off the side of the cliff. It wasn't really a fun experience.

This happened to me in Fallout 3. I was gettting ass raped by a group of super mutants, and it autosaved cause I went in a house. I hadn't saved the game about 12 hours of gameplay, so when I died the only file anywhere near it was the autosave. I finally got past the super mutants, damned bastards.
