No Manual Savings on Priority Mission?

I guess that makes sense but it's also a really dumb reason. Occassionally I save before a cutscene just to see the effects of various dialogues. Now it seems I have to replay the entire mission if I want to do that. Not cool.

This save system sounds very reminiscent of the save system used in first person shooters.

People jumping the gun again with something to moan it seems.

And hence...we are now moving on.  Its interesting not for the first mission hmm, but if they can come back I am fine with that. 

Same.

Lol why you scaring me like that?

Gah...I was afraid this sort of thing was going to get implemented... and I can't say I'm happy about it.  So many games seem to be moving away from allowing manual saves.  Shame because not allowing them only makes the game more frustrating... It does not enhance a player's "fun" in any way during a single-player campaign.  IMO, the developer should concern themselves less with preventing single players from "gaming the system" and focus on trying to make the system as enjoyable as possible for all players.  Manual saves are a convenience... the lack of them is an inconvenience.  I don't buy a game to be inconvenienced by it.  I buy it to enjoy it.

It's not necessarily a crutch, however... some of us have to deal with being interrupted frequently while playing and would like to be able to manually save at the exact point we left off rather than re-entering the game at an unknown previous point based on an auto-save.  For me, relying only on autosaves means I wind up repeating and repeating parts of the game that I wouldn't have to repeat if only the developer "trusted" me to make my own judgments about what would be most enjoyable for me to do in my own single-player game.

Strange, I could do so even in DAI, and MEA uses ''polished'' and updated Frostbite engine..
Game is little rushed, but I hope they will improve it with patches, same goes for CC.

1) How do you KNOW that for sure?... since no one has had sufficient time within the game to play through to the end.  They probably do have another long no-save section at the end of the game as well.

2) That it exists in the prologue is as much an inconvenience as having it exist throughout the game.  For me, it will mean essentially starting the game multiple times since it is unlikely that I will find 30 minutes of completely uninterrupted time to play through the entire prologue in one sitting.

3)  It's also an unnecessary inconvenience, IMO.  I can't think of any reason to exclude manual saving during the prologue.  In the Trilogy, they had manual saving kick in as soon as the player was given control of Shepard after the first cinematic.  In ME1, one just couldn't save in elevators and if there were enemies within the radar screen.  Making the single player play through a 30-minute section of the game without any ability to save it is just a way of inconveniencing them.

Can't you just quit the game and continue an autosave next time?
