Saving a game:
- Open file for writing
- Write some kind of header. A short one word text string like "MYSAVEFORMAT"
- Save how many characters you have in your party.
- Then for each character:
* Save stats
* Save equipment
* Save location
- Save what quests that is finished
- Save what quests that is currently active
- Close file
When loading a savegame:
- Open file for reading
- Read in the headerfile and check if it is valid.
- Assuming the header was correct:
- Read number of party members
- For each party member:
* Read stats
* Read equipment
* Read location
- Read list of finished quests
- Read list of active quests
- Close file
With the info you provided us with, there really is no other answer. Check the manual on how to open,read,write and close files, then use that to store everything that is important. It's as "simple" as that.

You want to use WriteFile( "mysavefile.dat" ) together with WriteInt, WriteString and/or any other Write* command in there for creating the savegames.
Then use ReadFile( "mysavefile.dat" ) together with the Read* functions to load it back in again. Make sure to read in the same order you write the data.
