Well it's happened........on PS3 last night I got the Night Caller temple Bug, followed him to the Temple....chat yadda yadda he goes in and promptly vanishes and get this the damn game auto saves as soon as you get in and overrights the last autosave of outside, so now back 2hrs of gameplay to try and get round this asshole glitch, from reading online there are so many more that it's pretty near immpossible to get the Platinum Trophy or equivalent for PC.....:(, come on Bethesda release a huge patch and fix this festering , annoying game, loads on sale secondhand from disgruntled punters. sigh...I so wanted this to be the awsome game we were promised but it is so obviously a rushed release to cash in on the xmas sales rush :(

Well, at least it's taught you the importance of regular manual quicksaves!

No three rolling autosaves?

Not sure what you mean by rolling but my system overrights each auto save every time, so now a nightingale and the quest has now disappeared from my quest list :(

If you go to the folder where the saves are stored (somewhere in appdata under user I think, can't look now as I'm not on that pc) it actually saves 3 of each (autosave and quicksave) and renames the older ones to like backup1, backup2 etc. (forget the actual suffix used) so you can just rename them and use them.

Yes I am doing both, different characters but the character I like the most is on my PS3, question in this day and age don't you and other forumites think its about time we had character migration between platforms ?, especially as all consoles are really only tarted up pc's anyway.

They're not tarted up PCs, they're PCs which are so locked down and crippled as to make any kind of creative activity impossible, attached to low-resolution monitors with, for most games, shitty control mechanisms.

But yeah it'd be cool if they let you carry characters across. Presumably steamworks lets you do that on Portal 2?

I expect the next MS console will be running Windows anyway, so it'll all be the same, all connected through GFWL.

I recommend reading A Dance in Fire. A tale of a Cyrodiil building commission clerk and the war stricken Bosmer who are in need of rebuilding their damaged citiies.

On the PC, it keeps 3 auto-saves and just overwrites the oldest each time. Hence you always have a couple of slightly earlier ones to count on in the case of disaster. I guess that's not the case for the PS3 version then. :(

That's silly, surely there's no technical reason why it can't do that on the PS3? :/

How would you get at the files? (it renames the redundant ones such that the game can't see them).

Beyond silly, it sucks what is more alarming is the quest has now vanished from my quest to do list as well :(
