While it may be desirable to have a single save structure, it is commonplace for RPGs to support multiple saves. This might be helpful in the event that a player makes a bad decision and would not have to completely start over - skill allocation, purchase something, choose an unfortunate dialog option, etc. 

I posted issue 527, which is a duplicate of this.

only be experienced once, unless you restart the whole thing. It means that any
mistakes made when talking to NPCs become all the more serious as there's no
going back to a few save-points ago. http://www.headshotgamer.com/review.aspx?id=22
