On Mass Effect 1 for PC, I Quick Saved pretty frequently. Other than that, I usually save whenever I feel as if I haven't saved in a while.
On my PC, autosave is my friend, plus I create a new save file (Overwriting old saves? As if.) every time I stop playing for the day or sometimes at major points in the game, depending on the game, plus I wail on the quicksave button like nobody's business.
In console games, on the other hand, I just go along with whenever it saves for me or I happen to run into a save point. Unless I'm playing them in an emulator, in which case it's back to constant whacking of the quicksave button (i.e. "freeze state").

I remember when my friend took the Oblivion warning too seriously.
Save Often: The realm of Oblivion is a dangerous place.
By the time he was in the shrine he had saved over three hundred times.

I have to worry about Vista crashing the game so I save quite often. ther's nothing more annoying than doing a bunch of menial tasks twice.
Dragon Age, I save about nearly 5 minutes. That game is insanely hard when playing as a rogue (personally I think the class is just broken). For rpgs like final fantasy, or a game like bioshock I save roughly every half hour or so.Keldon888 said:
Everytime there's a checkpoint. Or in the case of quick save, immediately before and after a really difficult section.
In Mass Effect 2 you don't really need to save at all, auto save jumps in at a moment's notice. I finished my first play through of it with just 3 saves and I think I'm on 2 so far for my second play through.
Normally I only save before finishing a session, I trust auto save and checkpoints in most games. I know one of my first abused quick save in his PC playing days, sometimes making saves less than a minute apart.

Whenever I find ammo or a new weapon. That way I load back to a point where I have lots of resources.
Depends on whether there's a quick-save hotkey. I find that in Dragon Age, I quick-save after/before every battle. I quick-save a lot in nearly all BioWare games. Especially Baldur's Gate II. That game was brutal, yet highly enjoyable. Dragon's Age is actually less of a challenge than Baldur's Gate was, yet I am still challenged at times, especially in the early game, before my min-maxing could really take effect. (Especially when bad guys from like 3 rooms all group up on you. Dealing with that without AoE spells was pretty hard.) Then I just get in the habit of quick-saving, and continue for the rest of the game. Since quicksave overwrites your older saves, it's economical for your hard drive too.
I generally start once I find that autosave happened way back at the beginning of the cavern, and I need to go through 4 more fights to get where I was.
In RTS/FPS games? never.
