Did they add mid-mission saving?

One of the worst thing about the original was the lack of saving during the long-winded missions. Have they fixed that oversight?

There are no manual saves still, but there is a sort of checkpoint-based system within levels for what it's worth.

[Izzan]

Yeah, that's how it used to be. Pretty useless for me really as I don't always get chance to play through a whole level. Thanks for the info!

TFE has Quicksaving. I thought it would be the same here.
If you want to explore every nook and cranny..the missions can get VERY long.
Even just following the Objectives there are some missions that get long and dangerous.
Sadly i also don't have much spare time and even if i have time - sometimes there are more pressing matters than playing and in thoses cases i would have to start the mission over.

Too bad :/

It's been so long since I've played the original I couldn't remember if it worked like that or not, heh. I was a little disappointed to see there wasn't a manual save system either.

It's a pity. :'(
I've wished so much they'd add it, but sadly, they don't. So, it's the first of their games I won't buy.

I never beat the game in all the decades of owning it until TFE released and let me save whenever. The late game is chock full of mines and health items are uncommon at best. I had to do a lot of quick saving and loading because of those damned mines, especially in Jabba's ship.

This would be a nice feature for the developer to add in to the game, like a save state of sorts that emulators use but some kind of save and load option would be a nice addition in a future update if its possible they could add this in.

The mission I just died in, I respawned partway through, so that's something.

[WolfEisberg]

No mid mission saving, there are respawn points through a level if you die though. But if you exit out of the game during a mission, when you come back you have to start over with that mission.

[Izzan]

Thanks everyone, disappointing to see but maybe there was some limitation preventing it. Regardless, I'll give it a miss, it definitely would have been a swing point for me on the sale.

As someone who hates saving scam and save anytime anywhere kind of thing. I'm happy you have to play the whole mission to progress. No saving.

If only there was a way for you not to save in levels of games and let others save if they want to so either could play their own way…

If only.
I have OCD. If the option is there, it ruins it for me. Thanks for understanding.

Huh. Guess I wasn’t considering other.
