(I think David was suggesting moving things around if selecting the third column should not be possible for some reason, but I don't think it'll be.) > One sudden gust of insight: a more extreme change would be to do this > same thing for savegames as well -- display only the character names, > spaced out, on a few lines.

If you do have more than two save games, you're probably switching a lot (at least I am), so hiding the information about the character and game mode makes selecting one of them more work.
