What happens when you save a game?
In: Technology
The game creates or updates a file that it is using to store your current game state.
This can be a very basic set of information (like what level you were on) or a massive set of information like the positions of hundreds of items you’ve littered all over Skyrim, the contents of numerous storage containers, the quests you’ve completed, the state of every NPC…
Exactly what is saved and in what format varies considerably between games.
