General save/load question

[corley]

When u use a save/load system in a RPG, how does the system take into account, quests completed and essential story line cinematic, as things get unlocked, and your character saved location etc?

 

[reason 3]

Its the system itself that have to be changed in order to save these...and i don't think such system exists.

so when people play an RPG, and get half way through and save, do they load back up at the start position with all the quests undone and story line back at the start again? how do people get around this?

They use a huge string system, it's really complicated though. Avoid it until you know very good triggering.
