Baldur’s Gate 3is a dream come true for devoted RPG fans. While the game is a throwback to the original series and tabletop games, new players will surely enjoy the dense world filled with choices and stories.

This can lead to an unlucky dice roll or two that drasticallychanges your choice’s outcomeand the story at large.
You should save regularly as you never know when the next roll can cut out a character from your party permanently or worse.Baldur’s Gate 3has a useful quicksave and quickload feature, so you can see the multiple outcomes of your choices without losing too much progress. Here is how you can quicksave/quickload on the PS5, PC, andXbox versions of the game.
How to Quicksave
After quicksaving, the game will stop for a second before resuming with an onscreen successful save notification. Keep in mind that there is a limit to the amount of quicksaves that you can have at one time.This limit is 25 and can be increased to 50 in the PC version’s save options menu.The limit is lower on consolesand is variable depending on the save size. When the limit has been reached, new quicksaves will begin replacing older ones. The quicksave limit still counts between separate player characters and their respective campaigns. Make sure to manually save if you’re switching back and forth regularly between multiple playthroughs.
How to Quickload
Quickloading does not revert to thelast quicksave,but to themost recent save in general.Remember this to avoid any confusion when loading your saves. Check the load screen often to make sure your saves are intact, as there aresome bugs that Larianis still working on, especially with the Xbox version ofBaldur’s Gate 3.Manual saves will always be more dependable than quicksaves. Use all these helpful tools tomake those drastic choiceswhile exploring.
