In many places in the engine there are pointers to other objects. The Sequence (Cutscene) manager can, for example, take in pointers for the characters the cutscene applies to. Currently these are handled by storing the index in the list of instantiated objects of the object the pointer points to, and then doing a lookup doing savegame restore. Because of this, it will be very difficult to get rid of the existing savegame mechanism without coming up with a good way to represent the same information. Perhaps giving any object that can be pointed to a unique Id, and having a lookup list of only those Ids. This might ensure savegame restore would work, and allow them to be portable.
