In Ironman you can't manually save using the button, but you can just quit the game, since on Ironman it saves on quit.
Don't ask why it is like that, but it is.

I know, if a fast quit i have last move from the game, but i dont wana dat.

I think Voigt meant to type "you cannot manually save using the button" in Ironman games. That's an intentional change meant to prevent (or at least reduce) easily redoing mistakes or changing decisions during the course of the game ("save scumming"). Ironman games are meant to be straight-through, one-shot runs for the sake of bragging rights. Since you don't have to play them in one sitting, the game does get saved on exit so you can pick back up where you left off.
So, as Voigt points out, you could still save-scum if you were willing to quit the game right before making your important choices, or quit and reload frequently during the course of the entire game. Restarting the game of course takes a lot longer than loading a save. The higher cost to reload will dissuade players from doing so often, but it's not an absolute prohibition.

Argh I fucking hate that, I regulary forget the add the 't to verbs, which then completly changes the meanign of my sentance. So you are correct Anaraxes, I meant can not.
And yeah you still can easily savescum, by exiting the game to create the save exactly when you want, and then copying the savefile elsewhere as a backup.

If you want to be able to save at any point in time and to reload one of the previously saved games at will, you need to turn off Ironman Mode.
This must be done before starting a new game.

Ironman mode is to prevent "cheating." Achievements cannot be gained unless in ironman mode and without any mods.
