If you want your saves during combat, cool. I, however, don't want them. And I think the option to disable them is the best compromise to the issue. Yes/no checkbox at the start of the game, and we're done.
Now you are my man! Simple, short, to the point!
When someone makes a smartass remark to something I say (case with Stabbey and Testad), they get a smartass response. You get what you give in this world. It's pretty easy to spot someone who's being reasonable from someone who's being antagonistic. If you disagree, simply say so and move on. That's what I do.
Either way, we're all adults, right? And I assume no one here's so thin-skinned that they can't take what they give.
..nope, not my man.
