Three options:

No saving in battle. No hand holding.
Autosaves before battles / dungeon entrances but not saving in battle
Save anytime

Honestly I have maybe saved/reloaded 3 times in all of D:OS and EE in a battle and I play Co-op with a non gamer. I've had to reload from 20-30 minute before a battle.....
Because for some the option is there and they dont use it, and others the option is there and they use it all the time, and for me the option is there but I'm too busy chatting/adventuring/immersing to remember to save.

So I'd like the game to autosave more, but could care less about saving in battle.
Can we get an autosave everytime combat is entered option too please?
