Yep, I totally agree. Recently I was playing alot of Medieval: Total War, and reading the message Boards I would constantly run across the comment, "And no savey-loadey-savey-loadey" when you play your game!" in reference to people just loading up the Last save when something they didn't like happened. I recently played as Pangaea, and had a beautiful, heroic, experienced, Dryad Prohpet who also was lucky enough to have a great-sounding name. She was preaching in a province and had only a handful of militia with her when it was overrun by enemies and she got killed. That really pissed me off! Labs getting destroyed by earthquakes, etc... these are all things that other games allow you to 'load your Last save and pretend it never happened'. Clearly the way to get the most enjoyment out of any game is to "suck it up and get on with your life". Save/load is the road to an easy win, and not for hardcore gamers.
