For example, you can't wait while enemies are nearby, and there's nothing you can do to get around this problem other than defeating the enemy or running away from it. Unfortunately, there are some restrictions for waiting.

Another great method to wait safely is to build a chair or other piece of furniture in your settlement. They are found at locations in the Wasteland and inside cities, including Diamond City and Goodneighbor. Seats that you can use to wait are found all over the Commonwealth.

Waiting does take a few real-life seconds to conclude, but it's much faster than the alternative of waiting an entire day for the time to change naturally. To wait, sit down in a piece of furniture such as a chair, and you'll have the option to wait between one and 24 hours. Just now I played 2 hours and exited normally only to find that all my savegames have once again disappeared.Although waiting is incredibly helpful, it doesn't cost anything to use this feature. Oh, btw, after experiencing this problem for a few times through, I downloaded the new 1.5 patch from the fallout website. and I don't think that really applies to me even though I do get the occasional crash. I read through about 6 pages of the Fallout Crashing thread. In addition, the new autosave that should have been rewritten a number times over will now revert back the auto save from many hours ago. But as soon as I exit the game, whether it's crash to desktop or a regular exit, all my new savegames are gone when I restart the game. The game allows me to save to slot 45, 46, and beyond. I've played through about 12 hours now on the second time through with about 44 save games. I found that after I downloaded and initiated the DLC, I could no longer use my old savegames anymore. Since then I've downloaded all 3 DLC updates at once. I experienced probably 3 or 4 crashes in that timespan and never had an issue with losing time from crashes.

I played through the main storyline in about 20 hours with a good character ending at level 16 with no patches nor DLC updates. Let me start by stating my history with Fallout 3 in the last few weeks.
