Chittering Clawbug Capt. Jim Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I have played most of the Spiderweb games. In Nethergate Resurrection I seem to be able to only go back one save. How do I access more than one saved game slots?? Capt. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Triumph Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 There's no special trick to it - it should be just like other Spiderweb games, where you go to save a game or load a game and have multiple slots from which to choose. Have you saved more than one save game file so far? Maybe I'm not understanding your problem, but I'm not really sure what else to say.

Well-Actually War Trall Ishad Nha Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Unlike say Gold Box games of the early 90s, there are no slots for saving games. To create a wholly new save game file you will need to access the File Menu, click on the floppy disk icon in the toolbar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chittering Clawbug Capt. Jim Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 when I click on the "load game" icon I get just two choices, my last save and a seemingly random earlier save that takes me back hours of game playing time, no other slots like previous games. I've had to start over several times and it's very frustrating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Tyranicus Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 There is no save slot system for Nethergate. You can create as many save files as you want. If you click Save Game, it automatically updates the save file you loaded. If you click Save Game As instead, you can choose to make a new one.

Well-Actually War Trall Ishad Nha Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 If you never choose Save Game As: there will only ever be the one save game. I personally make a new save game every day. There are no automatic saves at any point in any Spiderweb game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 There are no automatic saves at any point in any Spiderweb game. Uh. yes there are. Every single Geneforge game autosaves as you leave a zone. Avernum 4-6 (and possibly Avadon and Avernum: Escape from the Pit) also have autosaves, though I believe those are triggered by time rather than events. I mean, sure, Nethergate doesn't have an autosave, but saying that no Spiderweb games does is completely false. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Yeah. I'm guessing Ishad Nha might have been thinking of "points where the game automatically saves, overwriting your last manual save." Those don't exist. But what Nikki describes is actually called "Autosave" in-game, sooo... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Ishad Nha Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 I was thinking about First Avernum Trilogy. Rewrite comments in post #6 to: "If you never choose Save Game As: there will only ever be the one save game. I personally make a new save game every day. There are no automatic saves at any point in any N:R." Generally, if you are playing a game for the first time you should make new saves regularly.

Chittering Clawbug Capt. Jim Posted December 19, 2014 Author Share Posted December 19, 2014 Thanks for the help, "save game as" is what I needed. saving at least once a day could keep me from starting over etc. Capt. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
