No Manual Savings on Priority Mission?

No manual but is there auto? Can you just restart the mission? I personally only save at the start of a mission. At least I learn that way. I remember ME3 use to save after major conflict, does MEA do the same?

Maybe its based on difficulty? What one are you on.

This is definitely my major gripe right now (just started Chapter 2).

This was the biggest thing I had against the game besides the lack of options in the CC.

And if you have auto save bugs and crashes like I had in DA:I...?

Yeah, courtesy of the map and conclusion of some boss fights.

I genuinely want to know the logic behind this.

And no, Bioware trying to fuck with us is not a valid answer. 

Otherwise known as one step forward, two steps back.

BioWare is out of touch?

TO CLARIFY -
The game auto-saves a lot on priority missions (critical path)
You just do not have the ability to manually do it.

Only thing I can think of is BioWare does not want people 'gaming the system' saving the game and reloading just to avoid making all the 'wrong' decisions in the trees.  Which is silly but its the best I've got. 

You definitely cannot quick save during story missions it seems (or manual save). You can save the game while on the ship / station or just exploring.. but it seems if you're doing a main plot mission you are at the whims of auto save. 

You definitely can't save during the long 30+ minute tutorial planet at any point or time (I repeatedly tried dozens of times at different locations, it is always greyed out). If you want to re-do a dialogue choice for the first hour of the game you're literally going to have to restart from the goddamn beginning and lose 30 minutes to an hour.
