I know that Diablo 3 saves after you complete a quest (checkpoint) but is that it? I recently started in town, did some exploring and fighting and returned to town with much gold and experience. When I went back the next day, it was not there. Is there a way to force a save? Or is the only save "checkpoint reached"?

Also is it possible to grind? I'd like to just jump in and play casual and get gold and XP, but if there is no save and progress is limited to checkpoints, it may not be possible. Or is it?

I have the Brady guide, but I did not find anything specific (yet) on these points.

Thanks

P.S. There is a great iPad version of the Diablo 3 Brady guide in the App store.

Just started playing, great game, but not liking the save option...or lack of. After the first mission I fought a lot and leveled up, then exited. Went back and all the leveling up was gone. It jumped back to the latest checkpoint.

Does a real save open up as you advance? How do you get the game to save? Or does it only save after a checkpoint? It seems a game that is this wide open, and so many sidequests, would only save after a story mode checkpoint would be very limiting.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I played Infamous (1) for many hours, backed up the save file, then formatted/reset my PS3. Copied the save file back on...however it seems like I need to replay the game. There is no option at the beginning to load a save. Do I need to keep playing through to a certain point?

I was thinking about getting the download version with the Welcome Back program, but not if I need to replay a big chunk of the game just to get to the load/save option.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Just got Fallout New Vegas and want to try the no-kill path..anything I should choose at the start? Any tips/techniques/advice to get it rolling the first hour or so?

And..can it really be done?

Thanks!
