Okay, great. We get that you have a busy life as well as many others. But instead of posting all over the place about how they should change the whole game to cater to your needs, start doing the whole community a favor and push for more options as far as saves are concerned. Not everyone has a super busy life and we enjoy our hardcore gaming, so push for freedom of taking optional routes with difficulty of the game, and reward hardcore gameplay with shiny achievements instead of just changing the whole game, because then you start losing the amount of people that WANT the game to stay as hardcore as it is.
I’m sorry, but the amount of ‘hardcore’ gamers and whatnot that you’re describing are about as often as casual gamers with multiple kids or super busy lives with on-call jobs and whatnot and possibly more.
Or better yet, just wait for mods!
