I played 100+ hours on Xbox before that was patched and never had a problem so "literally unplayable" is really a bit much.

A bunch of less lucky people did exactly that and then lost 100+ hours of progress.

It's an essential feature of the game. Literally. Unplayable.

I lost 20 hours on Witcher 3 after a save corruption. Can I say Witcher 3 is literally unplayable?

I haven't researched that game so I don't know its frequency or severity.

Well bg3 allows and encourages several saves, so if you have put 100 hours into it and then lose your only save slot - which doesn’t make sense to me because it also auto saves independent of your manual saves - then ultimately, I blame user error. Especially since the bug was so limited.

That doesn't make sense to me either, how so many people were heartbroken when all they had to do was simply load an auto save. I can't confirm because I just didn't give them money until it worked properly.

Omg I've been destroyed

I'm just saying I LITERALLY PLAYED it during that whole time so it LITERALLY wasn't UNPLAYABLE.
