The thing is, is that I honestly don't want to, but it's just too easy to do when you're stuck in some deep dungeon and it's that or trudging back to town. I'll admit that when I normally play Baldur's Gate I save scum pretty often. Obviously, there is still the possibility of save scumming by simply killing ones-self if a battle goes bad, however, I think the temptation becomes less strong. Another idea that I thought of would be the option to only allow reloading when the main character dies. I would personally be happy with that feature alone, but I know that may be a little harsh for some.

As a professional developer myself, I know this would not involve a lot of coding to do. This only requires a simple interface checkbox and a conditional statement (if death, delete save file and return to home menu), a disabled save menu play, and autosave on quit. No reloading except when starting the game. The easiest and simplest (though extreme) fix for this is to add a "hardcore" mode. That's absolutely true, but that doesn't mean this wasn't a poorly implemented feature and shouldn't be resolved somehow. Now, I know one of the first things I hear when this topic is brought up is, "well if you want to play without save scumming, you have the freedom to do that". There is rarely a need to travel to a temple to revive characters, "chunk" death mechanics never happen, potions and healing items in the game (which have been limited to balance) are scarcely used, and rogue talents of trap finding are near-useless, and on and on. To add insult to injury, these kind of save/load tactics break many aspects of the game. Setbacks and even disaster actually make stories more interesting, they create true heroes. You learn to experience failure which makes success all the more satisfying. In table top gaming, you don't get to tell the DM that you want to do-over a trap or a battle if it went wrong, you learn to roll with it. This ties into rest scumming, but that's been covered already.

It is far too easy to just reload after something goes wrong after you *know* how to deal with the problem. There is a sense in this game that you need to win every battle perfectly, losing a single character, wasting too many resources (potions, etc), hitting a bad trap, or getting level drained. The biggest problem I have always had with the Baldur's Gate series is the way it encourages save scumming.
