Save games will be coming back as I had it working in test versions of 2.2 and I know what needs to be done to make them available again.
I think a big problem is the game encourages you to rush through the 1st mansion while trying to avoid thorn and look at her walk backwards when she she spots you which gets old and that it takes no time at all for cultists to knock you out from full health.
Thorn is getting her numbers nerfed and she will back off herself when getting stared at for a few seconds. I do want to allow ways to either go over 100 percent or increase max hp
