Summary0007896: "Save & Exit" without dialogs
DescriptionCurrently, exiting to the main menu requires 4 actions:

1. Esc
2. "Exit Game"
3. "Quit To Main Menu"
4. "Really? By the way, this saves your game."

It should be:

1. Esc
2. "Save & Exit"

The dialog at 0000003 is silly because quitting the application from the main menu is one click.

The dialog at 0000004 is silly because it's acting like a last-ditch warning while telling me there's nothing to worry about.

I know they seem superfluous, but they really aren't. As a guy who often mis-clicks, they keep me from doing something like exiting the game when I didn't intend to.

I don't see how that follows. "Undo" is just clicking "Load last world" from the main menu, which is also a single click.

Well, except that, sometimes I want to exit to the main menu (to play a different world), and other times I want to exit the game (to stop playiing), which is the purpose for step 3. So, which would the "Save and Exit" button do? If it exited to the OS, then the undo is much more involved. If the "Save and Exit" button exited to the main menu, than this is just adding an extra step to the process of leaving the program.

The "Save and Exit" button would exit to the main menu.

This would not "add an extra step to the process of leaving the program"; it would replace a selection in a dialog with a selection in the main menu. And it would save one step when you're not leaving the program.
