I made this post on Reddit, but thought I share the love here... https://www.reddit.com/r/masseffect/comments/60bnr8/no_spoilers_psa_how_to_quick_save_during_priority/
Shoutout to Reddit User /u/Saiaxs who said:
Be doing a priority mission, switch your active quest objective, save, switch back. Temporary workaround till the devs fix it"
UPDATE: They patched this to not work anymore. Sorry everyone.

This should be pinned considering how many people have listed this as a problem.

Wow, that's blindingly obvious when you think about it. But I hadn't thought about it enough, it seems. So thanks a bunch for posting this.

Sounds good, but are you sure this works in all cases? I'd been doing some testing myself, including: - Swapping your weapon loadout
- Waiting away from the front line for 2-3 minutes
- Levelling up
And while these things usually worked, they didn't always... ? I'm not saying this PSA isn't awesome, by the way.

I have the game pre-loaded on my ps4 so I can't test, but I learned about it from someone who has the game. You just need a quest other than the Priority Mission. Please go ahead and test this and share your results below As I'm more curious.

A step in the right direction and likely to save a lot of people a lot of time until the devs get their proverbial sorted.

As silly as the change was, this didn't bother me since I'm not one to save spam anyway. Regardless, if they don't patch it in as an intentional feature--they might as well given the workaround--they should at the very least not patch this out.

Am I the only one who thinks they restricted manual saves during priority missions for a reason? My guess is that you can get yourself into a game-breaking situation that you can't get out of if you save at the wrong time, and they wanted to avoid that. Still, restricting saves is a bad solution to that particular problem.

You're probably right. There must be some reasons other than 'let's annoy our players', but it's more like a tech-issue to me.
No way they could allow such kind of the 'game-breaking' mission design to happen. Autosaves work all the time, and if this solution from OP is any true, then it would mean a chance to be stuck permanently because of the menu toggle.
Virmire had manual saves. And so did Halamshiral (Wicked eyes and wicked hearts mission, DAI - now that's where it's possible to end up with the 'worst-case scenario' by missing a single door or triggering scripts in a wrong time. I'm sure they had they reasons (may be good intentions too), but I'd rather have my F5 back.

Still, restricting saves is a bad solution to that particular problem. That's why I showed everyone back in the day how to increase the save limit in ME3 so they can save till their heart's content. And that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. How do you get into a game-breaking situation if you save?

Still, restricting saves is a bad solution to that particular problem. I think more then likely theyfeel the constant saves cheapens the decision making. If i have a save right before I do anything in the game and I don't like how a conversation turned out, reload. I think it is their attempt to try to make decisions matter or atleast conversations matter to some extent. Or perhaps they have some internal numbers from game play indicating people do things to get around hard bits of game play they are trying to avoid. Like kill one, run off save, comeback sort of thing. Heck who knows. Maybe you are right and they couldn't fix an issue with the game crashing if you save while on a priority mission so they slapped this fix in. Just seems like a goofy thing to do.
