Here are some things that cause save corruption in this game:
- Editing Item count and then depositing them into camp
- Turning in quests using movement commands. Some quests have cutscenes while camping that occur before turning them in. If it doesn't trigger it may cause a problem with different quests later down the line. Basically any requirement of a quest. If you've hacked that variable, then there is a chance it will corrupt your save.
Its based on how the game calculates some of this data for later quests and progress. Alot of hidden variables.
If you want lots of creds, use more movement and take delivery quests from factions with max reputation. Always camp once or twice before turning in quests to allow for cutscene triggers. HP modifying enemies to 0 seems to be okay as well.
Does anyone have a fully completed save they can share without the new dlc content? I really dont want to start again.
