How the hell do you exit the game without saving?  I drove myself crazy last night trying to figure it out and finally just cheated and closed it through task manager...

You don't, not yet.
exiting like that can corrupt your savegame and it can take weeks or months to show up...when it does it's gone.

It's a persistent-world game, obviously what you do has permanent effect.

If it really bothers you, you can just create a save (by saving+exiting), then back it up (say, by archiving it with winrar), and then when you play further you can exit (either normally or via task manager), delete the current save and replace it with the archived one.

Which is what I assume you were trying to do.

Yes, I was just hoping there was an easier way than that...  When games take such a massive amount of time I was hoping I could try things and go back and try different things, but okay.  Thanks for the help guys.

i understand your point of view

i think the reason toady does it this way is:

1. it's in keeping with the roguelike game traditions, where you can't save and retry something.
2. it amplifies the risk of the game. if you do something wrong, you have to pay the price. it makes you think.
3. it would seriously mess up the world to have seperate savegames floating around that are linked to a world, since each world is supposed to hold data from previous games.

Save scumming is supposed to make you feel dirty. Hence the name. And the fact that the errors include the term "Inflate".
