As for ME2, my friend came up with a workaround. Open the directory with your ME2 saves > copy them to some other folder > rename them (i.e.Save_0012.pcsav > Save_0112.pcsav) > copy them back > rewrite Save_0112.pcsav while playing.

I know it is odd to have a limit on the number of individual save files but damn, wth do you need 50 saves for? you say it's for cut scenes but why do you have to go back to view each cut scene, why not just use youtube or record it yourself if you want to watch them again.

[archurban]

why the hell do you need that so many save? I don't get it. I only saved if something is important. I only save game when I finish a big mission each time to get out of the game.

[hellsoldierx15]

I've amassed about 250 saves combined from a normal and hardcore playthrough for one character and I haven't hit the "limit" (I didn't even know there was one)....so the number is probably way the heck up there.

[Fiery Phoenix]

That's what happens when you make a save every few seconds; it really isn't necessary. You could reasonably do it in ME1 (I think I have some 300+ (overwritten) saves under a single character in there), but ME2 is pretty straightforward and you don't really need to save every now and then (needless to say the game autosaves a lot anyway). If you're really that desperate to watch cutscenes whenever you want, you'd be much better off doing what CommandoClone suggested above.

Well, I'm paranoid that way. I'm not used to playing shooters, I tend to die frequently so in turn, I save frequently. Must must must SAVE FREQUENTLY is my philosophy,,, and dumb built in restrictions getting in the way of that is annoying.

i overwrite my saves when i pass the limit..no problem there...it's not like i am going to go back to an earlier save

[adam_grif]

There is no reason you should ever need more than 2 saves, which you alternate back and forth in overrating. If your game is buggered up in one save, revert to the other. Accumulating even 10 saves on a profile would be excessive; accumulating 50 saves on a profile is an indicator that you should seek serious psychological help about your hoarding tendencies.

What ME1's limit was it certain was more than 50.

I have about 150 saves on one character.

While the 50 save limit makes sense for consoles with their limited space it makes no sense whatsoever for the PC.

On PC you van quicksave. I don't even reach 25 saves in a playthrough.

That's you. I regularly find myself over the limit. (or extremely close to it). *sighs* Then again ME2 is so straightforward there's really no reason not to have one or two saves.

I have to add that I only save after a full play session and that my sessions tend to be pretty long.

This actually reminds me: 99% of the time I overwrite my saves rather than creating a brand new one. It's always been like that for me, with both ME1 and ME2.

50 save limit? I think u can rewrite, why u need more than 50 different slots saved?...

Why does it matter?, they want a zillion saves, I want a zillion saves, ok that was over the top, but I ran up over 100 saves in FO3 because of stability issues, and like someone else pointed out there are favorite missions/moments that folk like to re-visited, fortunately I've not reached the save limit in ME2, but that's probably because I have no stability issues with it accept getting stuck in the geometry occassionaly, I'd also like to see the return of named saves, slots are for consoles not pc.

So let me get this right, because you die frequently you figure constantly making 'NEW' saves is better than keeping just a few and overwriting them once you get to certain points?

I think the most I've ever had for 1 character is about 7 active saves, whereby I would probably have a couple set at certain stages of the game (where I figured I might want to change something on a replaythrough) and then others would be used as alternate overwrites.

If you took that method then you wouldn't have the issue you have, although your explanation above doesn't really make any sense unless your dying a lot in 1 mission. If you can register your game, you might be able to get some help with that from someone in the 'classes, Strategy and Builds' forum or you could look on youtube for videos where people have done tutorials for the various classes. There is some really good ones that even cater for beginners (not saying you are, just going by you stating how you aren't used to playing shooters).

[scampermax]

why do I need more than x amount of saves? 3 reasons - modding clothes, flycam, testing out new faces. For all three reasons I like to have saves at various points in the game. The 50 individual saves per character limit is doable but requires planning. I'd like more save slots just to make things easier.

[jwalker]

I like to make a save before each mission, so I can play with different squadmates or weapons
We can't name them and 12 - Normandy doesn't say anything. So ended up making one on the Normandy and another one just when the mission starts, 13 - Korlus. This last one is only there to give meaning to the other save.
50 are not enough.

[JamieCOTC]

I overwrite saves all the time and start deleting older saves around 40 or so. I found out the hard way back in January about the limit and that it overwrites the last save. Had to replay half the game just to redo one little thing near the end. 50 saves are not enough, but it's another console box PCs have to live in. It's certainly not the worst box to live in, however and can be managed fairly easily w/ a little due diligence.



F:NV has a 1000 save limit.

[Aidoru Kami]

Why am I still only allowed to save 10 times in ME1 and yet I have never reached such a limit in ME2?



Madness.

 I hate to say this... but may I inquire as to why the **** I can only have 50 saves?

I mean, I know there's a lot of things that got changed for the worse from ME1, but this is the one that bugs me the most. As if NOT including an onscreen radar was bad enough, now there's a ****ing save limit?

What the hell BioWare? The save files are all REALLY tiny so there is absolutely no reason to put  a limit on them.

Does anyone know any way to get over or around this halfassed restriction that some poor drunken underpaid sob at BioWare slipped in just to tick us off?

Mass Effect 2 is a console game that is available on the PC.  Not only are saved limited to console limits, but the order in which we can recruit peope was limited because on the consoles they couldn;t fit it all on one disc.  That's why Tali has dialog in areas you go to before you can recruit her (if you mod).  Tis a sad time for the PC master race.

I can save past 50, but there are only 50 physical save files.  So upon making save 51, save 1 is overwritten giving me saves 2 - 51.  I didn't notice this until after I beat the game and I was looking over my saves.

The reason I want more than 50 saves is because I don't want to have to reroll a character EVERY TIME I want to do a certain mission. As it is the only way to do so efficiently is to make saves gradually throughout the game and only make them from the Normandy. Any saves that are less than an hour in between playing times should be deleted. As it is right now I can just as easily hear Mordin's singing voice and see him hit on my femshep anytime I want. I can do Tali's loyalty mission with my infi, vg, soldier, adept, or whatever whenever I want just as easily as doing archangel or kasumi's missions whenever I want with those same characters.

That aside, just rely on quicksaves during actual gameplay. So all this talk about people using 3 to 4 saves? That's great if you plan on rerolling a character each time you want to do a certain mission. Otherwise you aren't the sort of gamer that wants to play mass effect 2 through more than maybe five or six times total? This is just an estimate and I'm sure there are exceptions.

And for the record, as far as PCs go, there is virtually no limit on the amount of saves you can do for ME1 or DAO for that matter. That makes sense given the difference in size of HD for a terabyte size computer versus whatever 360 is using these days. Still there's nothing you can do about it, OP, at least no for ME2. Put it down in the wishlist for ME3 and hope that BW doesn't always try to keep features between different platforms as uniformed as possible. Same can be said for DA2.

Edit: Both DAO and ME1 were also 360 games (ME1 was originally only for 360 - the PC version was decided upon later) however they still managed to get unlimited saves.

The other reason people want a larger save load, at least from a PC standpoint, is if they feel like making other medias: guides, screenshots, ME trailers, music videos, and so on.

If I love the game enough, I have no problem starting over again. I dont even need more than 2 save files per character

[Dominus]

Same here... the autosave system and being able to restart the most recent mission generally eliminates the need for countless cluttered save files.

Yes, ME1 and DAO's PC version were made to take advantage of the PC.  ME2 was a pretty much just a console version on the PC.  The end of PC gaming is nigh!!! The PC master race will be swallowed in the stinch of unwashed console masses. Ugh, the indignity!!

I only ever have a few saves, it doesn't bother me I tend to live with whatever decision I have made, and start a new game if I want to make different choices

[TheButterflyEffect]

**** it. I want more than 50 saves a limit is stupid and that's that.
