Hardcore savescummers will go as far as committing their savegame files to a Version Control System that allows the user to create a sophisticated tree of rollbacks and what-ifs. Seasoned savescummers will make multiple saves throughout the game so they can go back to the part that they messed up on. And woe betide you if you save the game after a seemingly minor error that ends up making the game Unwinnable, or makes you miss some Permanently Missable Content. Although sometimes, it might be the only way to even win a Luck-Based Mission, no matter how good you are, or it could be the only way to get a very rare item. Or maybe you just suck, but you don't call this cheating (it's kind of YMMV). It could be because the game demands Trial-and-Error Gameplay, or perhaps you have a limited number of tries to get the Random Number God to get a favorable result. Basically, you save the game whenever you get a result you like (or before you face a risk), and restore the saved game whenever you get a result you don't like.
