Having recently played the Dragon Age games for the first time in a little while, I think Skyrim should have a "switch character" menu, like the Dragon Age games do. Keep the saves for each character in one place, all characters seperate, and each character has their own autosave. I'd find it easier to track my characters that way... especially since I have eight.

What do you think? Would you like something like this?

I'm scared to make a second character because I use autosaves.

I know that feel, bro... I hate that moment when you think you saved over another character

That's why I like the save system the Dragon Age games use. Seperate autosaves, easy to load up other characters, plus you can track them much more easily, as oppposed to having to look through all your saves to find one particular point or character.

I agree. Not having an easy way to switch characters is a pain.

Use different profiles, if you are on a console, or different folders(?) if you are on PC. The only thing that is affected is achievements and who cares about those?
