Possible yes it's just they haven't yet as far as I know. They probably will eventually as it is likely one of the top things people have asked for art least around here.

It's quite ridiculous that we even have to ask for a fucking quicksave function in a PC in 2017. Someone should be fired for this too.

Things like this could easily be part of NG+ - where the first game is played the way they designed it or expect you to play, then with toggles to turn off/on how you'd like to change elements like that.

How about a one button push to bring up the map??? I mean it is not bad enough that I have to go to a menu then press the map button, but if I have available skill points it takes me to the skill menu, then I have to exit and then I can get into the map. Hey Bioware/EA I freaking KNOW I have unused skill points but I do NOT need your freaking help to find the skill menu!!!

Sigggghhhhh Just another thing to add to the list, a very clunky I/F.

If they kept firing people for screw ups they'd have no one left to buil any games let alone fix them. Still I don't mind it too much as usually there's enough autoasve checkp[oints tha tit dosen't really become an issue

And that is a bad thing how? Seriously if all they can put out is things like this game they shouldn't even bother.

Despite agreeing with the lack of a quicksave feature, i would say that in this case is almost useless because the game saves so often that it's hard to be in a situation where you'll end up way back because of a save. It saves every minute

They acknowledged this and, according to a Mike Gamble tweet from a month ago, it's something they are investigating, whatever that might mean.

It means nothing. It's an empty platitude.

Exactly what I was saying these games save pretty often anyway so it's never a huge problem. It's a lot better than what ME1 was anyway as I know that sometimes I've been taken out by an Armatuer unit behind a locked doorin the Exogeni headquartrs bit in Feros and ended up having to do most of the Zhu's hope part of the level again when I had already done that because it didn't save and I have to remember to hit save frequently in that game if I want to keep my progress so tbh I prefer autosaves that happen frequently especially if the game crashes on you as well or something.

Similar to a quick save I wish thay would patch so the same key opens AND closes a menu eg M opens/closes map, I opens/closes inventory, etc.

It is stupid and defies logic that this was not built in at the start of development.

It is possible but unlikely as i don't think they want us to be able to save.
