Impressive that you are attempting to play that way, but this is EA. I think the point is to do what people are calling save scumming. I am not knocking anyone for playing the game multiple times, but I try to get the most out of each play through to find all the glitches and breaks I can. When the game is complete that is when I will worry about playing a perfect or not-so-perfect play through on a character. Curious to ask though, did you run across any glitches? Because even when I wasn't save and reloading on purpose I had times there were glitches and bugs that I had to reboot from. I have noted though that since some of the patches there have been less of them.
