For some weird reason, I have a limited number of saved games in Mass Effect. Meaning, I can only save a certain number of times before it doesn't give the option of "New Save Game" meanwhile, my friend's profile has over 200 saves. MY hard drive isn't full or anything. So I'm curious, anyone have this problem? How do I fix it?

No, but it cuts me off around 80 saves. Just ONE of my friend's profiles had over 200 saves.

why would you need that many saves:shock:

i have 6 chars with around 80 hours of gameplay ( total, not each) and i have less then 10 save files total.

You can only have twenty or so save slots per character, once you lose the "new save" feature, you just have to reuse one of your earlier saves. Once you start a new character you gain access to another 20 save slots. You can save countless times, you can only use a limited number of slots.

your freind doesn't have more saves, the 'save number' can reach a billion if you just save over the same file even... its jsut the number of times you HAVE saved. Note though that you can have th 20 saves or whatever for each character you have.

ALOT better that way then just a huge list of saves and trying to find out whos game is where.

Heck I have 1 save slot and the number is already 500. Better check the number of save files (slots) and not the number in the save file. Confusing?

Well, the reason why you need so many saves is because Mass Effect, has a bad save system. Let's say, you fall off a cliff with your Mako, and you didnt save before you got on it. You have to go all the way back to where the game auto-saved. ME isnt Gears of War when it comes to Auto Saves. This is also one of ME's many problems. Dont get me started.
