If it was optional that would be a great idea. Generally though, I am not a fan of games that do not allow me to save or save for me at odd places. I'm often on limited playtime with my schedule so being able to save at my leisure is preferred. But I also really enjoy reloading and playing parts again, especially with dialogue, to see how differently they turn out, so it wouldn't be my cup of tea.
And I hate permadeath. It again would be great as an option for those that do enjoy it, but dying a ton and then having to restart new after every time is not appealing to me. I keep thinking of Blood Borne and I grew to loathe that game for this reason.
