That was a stupid, bad, terrible, awful, horrible idea in Deus Ex, and if it's ever used in any game ever again I will hunt down the dev team and murder them.

Do you know how FUCKING long it takes to complete a level with NO LEGS?

If the game had an autosave function, bullshit like that wouldn't be nearly as grating, but when that happened I realized that the last time I'd saved my game had been two hours ago. It's ridiculous that I have to remember to save every 2 minutes because the game loves arbitrarily killing or crippling me when I least expect it; what's more, whenever I get really immersed in the experience, I completely forget that I'm supposed to be recording my progress with the regularity of someone on an all-fiber diet. Any game as involving as Deus Ex needs to record progress on its own, since the player can and will forget to do so.

Christing fuck.
