Larian Studios has revealed that the most dedicated "save scummer" among Baldur's Gate 3 players hit the quicksave button more than 1,400 times in a single sitting, according to internal player data shared by the developer. Save scumming, the practice of repeatedly saving before risky decisions or dice rolls so players can reload and try again if things go wrong, is a well-known habit among Baldur's Gate 3 fans, but this figure stands out as an extreme example even by the game's community standards.

The statistic was highlighted by Larian as a striking illustration of just how far some players go to avoid unwanted outcomes, with the studio reacting to the number with bemused surprise, joking "You doing okay there?" about the player responsible. While exact context around when or why the spree occurred wasn't detailed, the figure underscores how central manual saving and reloading has become to how many people play the RPG, despite it not being the way the game's systems were necessarily designed to be used.
