   Watched a 22 year old play the original Fallout, and a big complaint of his was the ability to save scum. In his mind it negated a lot of role-playing mechanics (just keep loading till you get a lucky roll), and was too tempting not to use.
   And in my head I was trying to imagine the kind of fallout that would happen if a 1997 PC game was released, and *didn't* feature an ability to save and load at any time. 😅

     @dosnostalgic I have a hazy memory of the original Fallouts also being prone to crashes and save corruption if saving/reloading mid-combat. I don't know if that's really the case, especially with more recent unofficial patches, but the community back then seemed to think so.

     @jarizleifr That very much was the case with the original release. Not so much these days, although the game is still pretty unstable at times.
