Dammit... I hate it when your savegame saves just before you die...

Playing Fallout Tactics. I had forgotten to save within the last few hours of gameplay. I had one of my characters who was best at disarming traps trying to pick up some spare traps for money. All I had to do was kill off all the baddies and free some scientist. The baddies were dead, but I was going around picking up some traps to sell for later. What happens? BOOM. Grr... main character is gone so the game ends. I load my saved game and realize how far back I am and promptly damn myself.

So I left to take a shower, get some lunch, etc. before coming back to try it again.

I get to the same point in the game again *finally* and save my game. However, when the game saves, a Brahmin cow (read: runs from danger and never attacks anything) is standing on the other side of the mine that I'm intending to disarm and pick up. I've already got three, this one shouldn't be any different, right? Wrong. I try disarming the trap and fail. Character dies, fine. Reload the save game and the Brahmin cow CHARGES me, sets of the mine, and BOOM....

I've reloaded the save game six times and the cown charges me every time. >_< And I wasn't smart enough to have multiple saves for this character to be able to back track.



ARG.

Good news is that I have a temp job, finally. One of my mom's old bosses is setting up their business in a larger office and wants me to set up their network for them. 🙂 Yay!
 
man... I was doing incredibly well, too. I was lucky enough to find fairly rare items that early in the game. I have about four hours into the game so it won't be *too* terribly annoying to replay it all. I had a few lucky breaks too. Oh well.
 
heh,

right before arguably the toughest part of HALO on xbox the game saved.

I had 10 health and 3 shotgun shells...no ammo in sight.

Now THAT was tough.
 
I like games like Max Payne that make you hit the key twice for a quicksave. It's like "are you sure dumbass? you aren't saving with a 9mm round 2 inches from your character's head are you??"
 
I did that the other day on Farcry. I was cruising in the hummer vehicle, and a 90 degree turn came up with a huge cliff into the ocean. It save right as I was going off the trail. Sooo... needless to say, I had to load from like 30 minutes previous 🙁
 
Since there is no save feature while playing online in Battlefield Vietnam I never have to worry about it. If I die, I die and there's always the next respawn. 😀
