For some reason, something as simple as using the F5/F8 as quicksave/quickload keys felt like a blast from the past. Maybe it’s been around the whole time and I stopped noticing, but it reminded me of playing old RPGs.

Fuck I just learned there's a quickload from this comment lol. F9 didn't work and I didn't even think to try F8.

I unbound quickload after accidentally finding out the button by erasing my last hour of progress... Had to call it a night that day after that

F9 was used in most Bethesda games for quickload. Not sure if this was a typo but AFAIK I only used quicksave before but it still counts as a hard save in BG3 which I appreciate.

Not only does it count as a hard save but there is 25 fucking slots for quick saves by default. And you can increase it. And you can quick save and quick load in the middle of a conversation, save scumming whatever skill checks you want if you're a loser like me
