XBOX 360 has 25 save slots.

 

Absolute joke.

 

Fallout 3 has like 500 save slots before you need to start deleting and later saves in that game take up much more memory than DA:I.

 

BioWare incompetence again.

I don't think it's incompetence. It might have something to do with the limited memory capacity of the consoles. TW1 stopped working, basically, when you accumulated enough saves. DA:I might have had the same problem on Not PC. 

[Bizantura]

Yes, hit on that to.  While ingame went to my saves folder made a new map old and all but the last save droped them in there and went on playing.

So no big deal but it is a gamebraker and an odd one to boot.

Playing on PC but that was ovious.

[TXAstarte]

PC hard limit is 250 saves across all character.

 

I hit it before completing one run through, so, I'm having to do some active management there.  Kinda stupid for a game that has so much replayability built in.

[Shechinah]

At least there's a work-around by moving saves to a separate folder rather than having to delete  saves. Still, it's rather annoying especially considering, as mentioned above, the replayability of this game.

I don't buy this at all.

 

Again - Fallout 3 (a game that came out 6 years ago) could support hundreds of save files and those save files could be 10mb each at later levels.  All of my DA:I save files are under 500kb so far.

[Adanu]

I'm a savaholic and even I think 250 is enough. I had to delete a few old ones but what the heck?

 

You're welcome to limit yourself. You're not welcome to limit me because you think it's enough.

[Cyonan]

Are people saving every 10 minutes and creating a new save file each time or something?

 

What is the purpose in doing that to the point where you have over 200 save files going?

Some of us simply are paranoid.

 

Some like to replay certain legs of the story without having to replay the whole game-though the fact that  we can't label our saves descriptively anymore makes that a bit more of a pain to do.

 

Some of us are altoholics, and want to play ALL the THINGS with multiple race or class combos.

 

in short, there are lots of ways to play this game to have fun.  If the way you play suits you, I'm glad for that, but that doesn't mean I have to use the same approach.

I'm not saying people should play it the way I do, but I'm just trying to understand this save file spam mentality =P

 

It seems to me that people are saving as much as I do, but aren't overwriting the redundant save files. I might save 20-30 times for a main story mission, but creating a new save each time just seems redundant. One save at the start of the mission will let you replay that leg of the story.

 

I'm a pretty big altoholic so I get that angle, even though it would take me a while to get to 200+ save files =P

25 saves for ps3

[Shechinah]

Wait, really? 25 saves?

Can anyone confirm this?

[adembroski]

I do not see any point of restricting the number of possible saves on PC. They aren't even that big, 250 of them only take ~100Mb of disk space. Another victim of "parity"?

 

The point is it's a computer, and a computer doesn't understand infinity.

You don't buy that there could have been a problem with the number of saves software wise? Okay? 

[LexXxich]

I save a lot and most of the time into different new files to mitigate possible save corruption with crashes on save/load. And to have a (multiple) fallback point in case some quest event doesn't fire and I need to re-start it.

[Joxer]

Dunno about consoles, but I just checked on my PC (finished the game, solved all sidequests and etc, one run, won't replay it ever unless no respawns option is added or modded).

I have 66 saves. So there is no 50 or 25 cap on PC.

 

However cloud cap on Origin definetly exists, it's 100 Mb. Currently my 66 saves are using 30 Mb there.

People asking "why would you need so many saves?" Please know that many of us want to replay scenes and conversations later with the same character as before and also some people like to have dozens of characters. I beat DA:O close to 30 times and assuming I'd kept a reasonably small number of saves per character (let's say 5) and each DLC and expansion for each character added more (let's say 2 each for witch hunt, Leliana's song, and golems of amgarak, 3 for Awakening, and 1 for darkspawn chronicles) 50 saves doesn't even come close to what I need and I hate deleting characters. On the 360 I just made extra gaming profiles which didnt require an extra email (meaning my achievements and DA2 imports were spread out but whatever) it seems like making "guest" profiles on the Xbone might do the trick. Fingers crossed!

Fallout 3 could NOT support hundreds of save files - if you went over about 100 it begun to take a ridiculous amount of time to load your save list (Fallout: New Vegas capped saves at exactly 100 to prevent this)

However 50 is far too few across all characters, if it was 50 per character I could understand (I think DA:O and DA2 had about 30 saves per character on 360?)

[JWvonGoethe]

There is an easy work around for this for people on PS3 and Xbox 360 (seems to work a bit differently on PS4) - transfer some of your save files to a USB. Back them up on PC for further peace of mind in case your USB gets lost or damaged. Unfortunately for the OP this doesn't work on Xbox One, but you can back up all saves on a USB on PS4 (unlike PS3 and Xbox 360, the PS4 doesn't seem able to select which saves get backed up) and then happily go on a save file deleting spree in-game. I've not tested this with Inquisition, so look up more info online and exercise caution (always copy files rather than move them - delete files in-game once you are absolutely sure no data was corrupted when copying to USB).

 

And as the previous poster mentioned, having too many save files can lead to long loading times or save files being corrupted. That's almost certainly why the limit is there - it's a bit silly to argue that it exists for parity reasons.

Yes It's bioware's fault you haven't upgraded your toaster game console that came out ten years ago. 

[NorwegianPirate]

Yup! There are 25 saves across all characters on the PS3. Lucky us.

[SirJoeofthePub]

I really don't see why anyone would need more than 50 saves. Once you've completed the game just hold onto the finished game save and delete the rest. 

 

*shrug* I have hit the 250 cap like 4 times already on my first playthrough and not even 3/4 finished yet. I'm a saveaholic, lol.

 

Not a big deal, most RPG's I have played have some sort of save cap, sometimes 100, sometimes 150 sometimes more, but I agree 25-50 does seem a bit chintzy. It's prolly BW trying to save storage space on their cloud servers.

 

*Edit* I think one of the reasons I save so much in new slots instead of overwriting is being "taught" to do so from games having save corruptions when overwriting save files, so it's just become a habbit for me now.

[Serenade]

I guess it is not fun for people who likes to keep many saves because of different choices and such. But for me if I want to do a different choice I replay the whole game from the start. When I do something I usually commit to it. But again I can see the issue with this for some.

I also like to keep my storage in check, so minimal save files is optimal for me. This was an issue for me in The Witcher 2 where the game made different save files all the time. I ended up with almost a Gigabyte in storage after a while just with save files.

[OldSwede]

Oh, this saddens me

 

25 saves on my Xbox 360 - for all characters I just can't believe it, but unfortunately I have to....

 

Thank anyhow for bringing it up, Nefla (OP). At least, now I know. ;-)

 

And yes, I'm a Save-aholoic. I have so many, many USB-sticks and external hard drives (plus my Mac, where I can save the Xbox-files which are in a folder) that I have been saving for different characters with DAO and DA2, and so many, many characters. But this will get a lot trickier than the ones before. I still have my Mac (as BU) though, if it gets really bad.

[themikefest]

25 saves for ps3

Yep. And if you start a new playthrough, the game won't load until at least 4 of those saves are deleted. Thats what happenied when I went to start a second playthrough.
