Question about Quicksave and savebloating

[MetallicAGuy]

It's no mystery that auto saves that continually overwrite one another make games bloat a whole lot faster than they normally would.

 

But what about quicksaves? I use the quicksave method more than any other (I have autosaves disabled, and I only make numbered saves when I make considerable character progress.)

 

Do quicksave overwrites also make save files bloat at higher rates?

 

I've only got about 20 hours of play time on my current character, and his file size is already at 7MB. Clearing a dungeon or completing a quest will add anywhere between 200 and 400KB onto my file. walking for 10 minutes adds about 100. 40MB is about where saves become unplayable.
