So I was doing some experimenting and discovered ctrl+F5 saves and ctrl+F9 loads. I have had some great success using this feature but I have noticed that it has a tendency to break NPC routines.
Ive been using it load straight into archery quest, saves lots of time.
Note: this function works even after you shutdown the game and re-open it though I have had several CTD with this.
The following video shows the quick save bug breaking routines, the floating bug that started after the 0.2 update, and the only dead zone I have discovered so far.
