Yeah the demos on the September issue of PC Powerplay for Ozzie people (so much for world wide exclusives). I have to say I'm very impressed so far. Very slick and surprisingly good performance even with everything maxed out. Though I'm playing at 1028x768 since it's hard to read the dialog at the highest resolution (have to get a bigger monitor ).
I agree the save system is problematic at best. You also have to restart a save game from the last town. Too bad if you only fancy a quick 20 minutes blast or so, or only have that much time to spare .
Apart from mods, the one save per game also discourages experimentation. Imagine if you get 30 hours into the game only to find out you've messed up your character due to a mistake 20 minutes or so ago (picking a wrong skill or dropping an important quest item).
I imagine one of the first mods or tools created for the game will be a saved game backup utility like those that exist for Diablo 2 (where GPG no doubt copied this system from).
