I was in town tho
Occasionally the game will save automatically, and if you try to save around that time it won't let you.
Or if could've been a glitch. I've ran into a couple. I did the quest where you're supposed to protect the guy's brother to get a discount on a pass to the city....the price was still too high so I used Delusion to get it for free....he gave me the pass but it said I failed the quest because his brother died.
Even after I got the pass, I went to the docks to catch the boat, and the doors wouldn't open. I had to hop the fence.
During the werewolf quest it replayed the same cutscene at the end twice, with the same models on top of each other.
And once the game completely froze like I had to end the process in the Task Manager.
