Farcry 3

Any tips on how to save in this game? I keep saving while exploring, but every time I load a save, I end up not where I left the game, but at the previous point in the story, which often forces me to sit through a cutscene or dialogue yet again.

After liberating the first enemy outpost, I ignored game's repeated commands to talk to Dr. Earnhardt and instead went exploring, thinking that this was a actually an open-world game, and I could do what I want. When I would load those saves, though, I would start right back at the outpost.

So I finally gave in, found the doctor, and completed the quest he gave me. I then patiently listened to the phone call re: the Medusa, and set off again to explore. I saved, loaded, and was right back at the house, and had to listen to the phone call yet again.

Please tell me this is just because I'm only 1-2 hours into the game, and it feels that the excessive player aids aren't enough - I need to be shown exactly where to go, too - but that it will finally quit this crap after a while. Because right now, this open world means absolutely nothing if I can't save my location and status in it.
