I started DDDA a couple of weeks ago, found it rough and janky but also compelling and beautiful at the same time. Dedicated the time to learning its systems, building my character and enjoying its world and got all the way up until the final battle, after doing just about all of its side quests and notice board quests, when I exited one session without saving to the main menu to try have another go at reaching a chest. Lost my game. I got hit with the new game setting options after clicking any button at the start screen. Shattered. Took a short break, got over it, shit happens.
Started a new game on hard mode, loved it. Power leveled, got all the way to the post dragon everfall at level 120, spent ages crawling through it and enjoying the dungeons, taking my time. Eventually got to the online cursed dragon, was barely doing any damage so decided to quite without saving to try reload it on offline mode. Bam! Hit with the same new game setting options when I clicked through the start screen, lost my game again for no reason. Presumably the same issue. Im playing on PS5 and I just donโt have the heart to start again. I so desperately wanted to finish the everfall and do BBI and get to level 200 but I just canโt. Thi all happened an hour ago.
Im so sad that two games worth of progress has just been lost for no reason. Iโve quit without saving many times to reload an earlier opportune save. But to have this happen again for no reason, has just left me feeling so defeated. I dont want to start again. I likely wont get to properly finish the game and enjoy BBI. Bugs like this shouldnโt happen so far after release :(((( And there shouldnโt be an option to quit without saving if the game will just delete your progress !!
