I have lost 2 character saves already. I didnt save over them and I didnt delete them. I made a new character, saved it in an open slot and then my other character was just gone. How can Bethesda expect me to enjoy a game when I might not be able to finish it. This should seriously have been the first thing they tried to fix. I really dont like being left in the dark not knowing how long this is going to happen for. I really enjoy the game and would hate to not be able to play because of one stupid problem. Get it together Bethesda and make sure a game works before you release it. From what I hear this has been happening to a lot of PS3 owners.

1: Turn OFF autosaves
2: Save manually and cycle through at least 2 saves.

Should work ok now, good luck

Did this work for you or someone you know?

Before making another character you could copy the first one onto a USB stick, then if the above suggestion doesnt work, you can copy it back.
