Nope, not at all. Also, it's designated as a gameplay facet, not a memory file aspect. It's there to force you to take on the WHOLE challenge of some area rather than just bit by bit by itself. I'm not saying it's a good or bad thing (honestly it doesn't really matter because single player was boring as spit on a grill anyway), but that's the reason. Since the game saves ALL the same location data as KOTOR though, it doesn't exactly matter though. People have found all sorts of ways to trick the save system into recording them FAR away from the trigger point as of late. I myself was only interested in getting a few vehicles past the save point, and going across them when I WASN'T about to die. My goal was just to get the game "over with", which while yes, is a very stupid reason to play a game, is what I did just so I'd be aware of the "story" for when the next game comes out (I never learn apparently, I'm actually looking forward to the second one).
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
