Can we get a mode like Paradox's Ironman mode?

As in, no manual saves, the game automatically saves and overwrites the previous save, so absolutely no save scumming.

Part of my wish here is for a "True to Tabletop" Mode:

-As close to core rules as possible (Like having rules lawyer DM)
-Autosaving over a single file and no reloading or manual saves (Like in tabletop, no saying "That didn't happen," or "Let me reroll that.")
-Limited Inspiration Rerolls

I would support an Ironman mode. I played XCom in Ironman and it really improved the experience.

I wouldn't play a genuine ironman mode ("If you die your save gets wiped and that's it") because it strikes me as complete masochism in a150+ hours game where at any point you could die even just for a glitch...

BUT

I would be absolutely on board for a "Single save mode" that autosaved everything on a single slot and forced you to roll with whatever happened IF it came with some sort of checkpoint system allowing you to "roll back" a bit and reload from there in case of death (i.e in case of death/party wipe you'd restart from the last long rest).

For what is worth I completed XCOM 2 + WOTC in ironman several times, but I think that's a very different type of game.

Party control in Baldur's Gate 3 is a complete mess that begs to be addressed. SAY NO TO THE TOILET CHAIN
