Perma death and brutally difficult. I’ve had a lot of fun with this game over the years.

  Ugh. What's the point of "quick saves" if they get deleted when the character dies? That being said, thanks for confirming it's a permadeath game. :) It's bizarre they don't mention that anywhere.

    You are playing a somewhat unstable game (don't play the stable version).

    As KyleBerezin hints at, they're for when the game crashes. Also when you lose power, or some other random event kills the game process. Not sure if it's still the case, but last time I played (~2 years ago), closing the game window would also work as such "exceptional circumstance", so if you want your quick load, be quick with your ALT+F4 when your character dies :). (I am not going to elaborate on the reason I know this.)

      Cool, thanks. :)

      This is something everyone who plays Cataclysm long enough learns. The first time the rage quit is real. But once you start the game again and realize you can continue from your last save the save scumming begins. Honestly some of the scenarios are so difficult it's either save scum or repeat the same opening dozens of times hoping RNG will let you escape the initial onslaught.
