OK.Soo I know in some time the saveslots will delete the saved game.In every guide says "Save ofen and in different saveslots!".I want to know:How many different saveslots?Can I do it in only 2 (I don't want to make in every slot & it's easyer to remember where you save in 2 slots)?

Sometimes the reaction of deeds in the game you could reconize only later (too late, if you work with only 2 slots).
So it's better to have always something you can jump back to.
When i play, i usuly use 4 or 5 slots.

Every chapter i make a new save-slot, but i start with 2 and keep 2 until i reach ch3. That's where alot problems come to me, good to have slots . Because Gothic 2 is harder i usually use every slot possible for 1 playthrough. When i'm done i copy the saves folder to somewhere else and delete my old savegames. Now i can start a fresh new game without losing my old saves.

So my guess would be:

Gothic 1: 2-6
Gothic 2: ALL

I use 3, sometimes 4 slots for both g1 and g2 and that's always enough for me.

No, you only need several slots for several important events in the storyline. It's quite personal really. For example: when you are about to join a camp, when you usually face a bug that can ruin the game and for example when you need to make a greater decision. If you don't want to start from the beginning , you might want to have many slots, but if you just want to pass the game without to much experimenting just save at those points from where you'd want to restart if something went terribly wrong.

Heck: you might even consider having only 2 slots if you like a bit of risk: the current save and a save you'll make at the beginning of a chapter.

In a perfect world saving has but one function...
To save the data when you shut your computer down.


If programs wouldn't ever crash, the correct way to implement saving would be "save & exit" ala Diablo 2.

However buggy games means that we must be able to save our progress. People just love to abuse this feature and use it as a hybrid of crystal ball and a timemachine.

I only use 2 slots. The comon one at every 10-15 minutes ( or less if i'm exploring a dangerous area, after every beast killed ) and the backup save when i remember, usulay after 3-4 hours of gameplay. I also made some saves before making important choises like choosing the guild, or the way to finish a quest, so I can return there and replay that part of the story, without going all over to the beginning of the game

[dylerbug]
