I propose you guys introduce difficulty modes where it changes how you save the game. One mode for the players that love a challenge. they can play in Savior Schnapps mode. Another mode for the players that want an Elder Scrolls style save mechanic.
It’s not about being a hardcore vs. a casual gamer. My personal opinion is that this existing saving mechanic hinders my enjoyment of the game. I absolutely love that this game didn’t try to mainstream the open world RPG genre like Skyrim did. You guys kept it complex. Keep that up please! I love it. But I need to be able to save the game anytime/anywhere.
