Save Scumming

  • No way! I value the Author’s Creative Vision™ too much to do such a horrific thing! 8
  • I would, but only on those accursed memory tests! 20
  • Sometimes, sure. I like to see the outcome of several choices without doing another playthrough. 76
  • Hell yeah, I’d be save scumming all the time! It takes the uncomfiness out of making choices. 18

Let’s say that you could quicksave right before every single choice in Samurai of Hyuga. Would you?

Rarely. Probably only for the memory tests or when when I'm absolutely unsure between two choices. But I would like to have that possibility.

Usually my first playthrough I like to stick with my choice and see the outcome. The second playthrough I'm trying to see if I missed anything content wise so it's helpful there. Third playthrough is to create my "canon" saves with all my new knowledge. Fourth is just for funsies.

I do enjoy the Early Access method of showing any choice I want. It's probably not the way the medium is meant to be consumed, but still... I enjoy how complete it feels. You can get to know much more about the world and characters, and many people just don't have time for multiple playthroughs.

I agree with Matsbi, the early access is great once you understand how to read it all. Being able to see the whole story and the entire effort you write. On the other hand, I don’t think it makes you really fall into a narrative if you can swap every single decision you make. If you added a Save option. At the most, my thoughts are for each chapter. Repeat the chapter or repeat the entire story. Not every choice though

As a female ronin, it was a nice change being able to see how the story changes for male ronins or hetero ronins. I would mostly save for choice variance especially if its a character I'm romancing or i want to see all the dialogue options for an intriguing conversation without a new playthrough.

100% yes, but only after the first playthrough.
