I continue to be crushed (so very crushed) about my lost Conan Exiles progress. After signing up for the official forums and posting a bug report with a bit of complaining, I scoured the internet for any info I could find. There have been others who have had this happen, and it always seems to be on consoles (Xbox mostly). Anyway, a few folks solved the problem by deleting and reinstalling the game, which I am now doing. For good measure, once that’s done (two hours from now) I will also clear the PS5 cache. There’s nothing more I can do. If this doesn’t reconnect me with my character, all is truly lost.

Will I start anew if I can’t restore my save? Doubtful. It’s a shame, because I was really enjoying the game, but I had done so much and gotten so far, to start over just feels like too much work. Maybe eventually in the future, but not right now. Guess I’ll go back to No Man's Sky, which I’ve been neglecting lately due to playing barbarian.

Been sitting here contemplating sorcery in Conan Exiles. I’ve not messed with it, because I’m not going to do human sacrifices. Sure, I kill a lot of NPCs every day, but they’re coming at me with weapons, so it’s me or them. Hauling someone back to camp to actively off them on a sacrificial table is a whole other thing. Not doing it.

But it does look like I can level it up some and get some useful spells without any human sacrifice at all. It’d be nice to cast a light spell. Just saying, it gets really dark out in the wilds at night and carrying a torch means I’m not carrying my shield.

I’ll have to contemplate it further on the tree of woe. I will still need spell pages to level it up, which means killing sorcerers who have already sacrificed people to make them, so it’s a moral quandary (that I’m sure most players don’t even think about).
