What were you feelings on AE?

I understand your reasoning, but I'd say that quicksaving isn't quite as "game-skipping" as you say. Myself, I have extremely vivid memories from AE of fleeches, scrabs, paramites, sligs and slogs chasing Abe. And I'd say those were plenty tense. Being able to quicksave doesn't remove all elements of tension, I'd say. It does help to ease frustration though. So I see exactly why it was that Lorne implemented it; it was a good way to try to keep people from totally abandoning the game. Because for every person who plays the game because it's hard and requires a lot of practice and retries to get just right, there's probably a person who hates that they have to play that section all over again because they mistimed that one jump.
