save and exit game
"I don’t think I have trust issues. Why do you ask?
I would also add in saving to a separate save slot, just in case.
That’s probably the second “save game” lol
Ok good. That makes me more comfortable.

Live fast die young.
Fun fact: pretty much all exit-saves in Bethesda games (Skyrim, Fallout, etc.) are not necessarily complete in their Data. There are actual cases where these can be easily corrupted and won’t work on a reload or even introduce long time save corruption if you use them. Don’t ever trust an exit-save in those games! (Source: me fooling around with the save system too much)
quick save is also pretty fucked in their games. highly recommend getting a mod that replaces the quicksave keybind with something that creates a manual save with an autogenerated name. (that is not how bethesda implements quicksave, for some reason.)
save, save (just to be sure), exit. But never save and exit.
Save game twice, but then don’t actually exit game just in case it didn’t actually save
