Same here. \o/

i think that would break the honour mode as it saves any death of a character. so it would high likly brick the whole difficulty setting. And i mean saving in a fight is up to you :P if there is an option doesnt mean that ppl who do "save scumming" would activate it.

Just my humble opinion

As far as I know, only autosave is moddable, because it's done with triggers and story code, but I'd be surprised if F5 quicksave and regular save could be disabled by a mod, because there is simply no API for it. (I might be wrong though.)
Autosave is just done by an API call that exposes the save functionality to Osiris.

With the current instability of both the story scripting engine and the object scripting engine, I would never dare to mess with saving even if it was possible, because you might end up with not being able to save at all anymore, even outside of battle.

Self discipline is probably the only solution ;-) And maybe reduce the amount of possible quicksaves to 1 ... which of course does not restrict the amount of regular saves that can be made.

I have a feeling that FrauBlake is correct in that we do not have the functionality necessary to execute this request (but this is not really my area of expertise.) In any case, Sandpie and I nearly always test without use of save-scumming in the middle of combat when we are looking for combat balance. We will only use this method when hunting for bugs or trying to elucidate hidden interactions. (On the other hand I almost always save before/during dialog where traits are concerned because traits are awful and I can never remember what's what here....) In any case, I just wanted to reassure everyone that the mod can be beaten (with only occasional frustration) at the highest levels of difficulty while not manipulating saves in combat to influence rolls. Actually I am finding it more possible than ever to defeat difficult encounters when losing important rolls--it has a lot to do with party composition and the degree to which the group can "brute force" rolls with repetition.
