    self save or auto save

    Bethesda is far from the only company that has issues with it, they're just the most notorious. I've noticed the more heavily reliant upon scripting a game is, the more likely autosave is going to cause problems. And Bethesda games are the kings of scripting.

    self save or auto save

    The best argument against both, and autosaves in general, is Bethesda's constant problem with glitchy autosaves.

    A way of merging the timelines

    A soft reboot, like this, is often meant to be effectively a reset of the universe without necessarily negating everything that came before. By making the three timelines part of mythology rather than history, this is accomplished. In effect, it makes BotW the first "real" game in the setting...

    That's why some of us are beginning to view BotW as a soft reboot of the series.

    Off the top of my head? Mount Daphnes and Vah Medoh. The Rito village is arguably a third. Edit: Also, Linebeck Island.

    A way of merging the timelines

    The problem is that BotW references all three timelines at various points. As though the events from those timelines are well-known to Hylians. But it also openly treats them as myths. This creates a massive problem with timeline placement because, no matter what themes it follows quite well, we...

    A way of merging the timelines

    Nah, it's easy. It just means they were picking and choosing elements from prior games for creating their rebooted Hyrule. Like, well, they did with the entirety of BotW. And, to be blunt, whether this is a merger, a reboot, or the devs simply no longer caring... the story themes of the three...

    A way of merging the timelines

    I'm with you on this, pretty much. About the only way I can see it working is if the Triforce is involved. And, increasingly, I'm just accepting BotW as a reboot. More than likely, the duplicates would just combine into a single person. Given the details of the three timelines, there's very...

    Not a mathematical formula as you'd recognize it. And certainly not one that can be used by a computer. It would require a lot of explanation that would make even less sense. Just go with "Kerest has insane insight" and leave it at that.

    That is Variable Alpha9Z.

    It is when you do it multiple days in a row. Typically, that results in Town demise, since it usually ends up killing Town instead of scum. And a plan doesn't need to be foolproof; it simply has to be constructed well enough to have a solid chance of victory.

    I don't willingly give false reads. I just read as incredibly scummy, so lynching me once I've worked on an effort to deal with scum isn't a bad option at all. It both confirms the Towniness of what I'm doing and removes a source of misreads. And, hey, at least I'm trying to do something...
