Backup Saves
By VenomB
With all the possible bugs and the branching choices resulting from non-descriptive dialogue choices, I decided I wanted to be able to backup saves since manually saving wasn't available.

For those like me, here's how to do it and how I have it set up:

1) Create a folder on your desktop, I named mine "TLO saves".
2) Go to C:\Users\(your account)\AppData\Local\LostHero\Saved
3) Right click on the folder "SaveGames" and choose Send To > Desktop (create shortcut).
4) Put the SaveGames shortcut into the folder you made in step 1.
5) Inside the folder from step 1, create a new folder and name it whatever you want - I name mine based on where I'm at in the story pertaining to my reason to backing up a save. EX: "Just before Ratkin talk in mines"
6) Open the SaveGames shortcut, copy the file "PlaythroughSave.sav" and paste it into the folder made just above in step 5.

You can repeat steps 5 and 6 whenever you want to "create" a save point to come back to. Replacing the save puts your progress directly to where it was at the time of the backup.

I tested this with having multiple New Games. For example, if you start a new game, it doesn't replace other playthroughs. Each playthrough gets its own save slot which all fall under the same, single save file.

Its a little annoying, but its worth doing if you don't feel like playing through the entire game again to correct one mistake.

I get the idea behind it. Its just like Souls or other hardcore souls-like. But I personally think it just doesn't work well in this one. I understand they want the idea of "no wrong playthrough" to be the driving force, but when I have no idea what any dialogue choice might massively change (they're just not descriptive enough), it just isn't fun to me. It doesn't help that I'm a "save at every branch" save scummer.

Yep its a thing you can do in most games that force this stupid rule of 1 save.

Funny enough even those that go hard on 1 save only with iron man mode (the only thing that should be 1 save and should be optional) will even do this a lot of the time.
