Save Profiles?

Post » Sat Oct 06, 2012 4:44 am

Is there any plan to have character save profiles like Mass Effect does. The current save system is a mess and I usually end up deleting characters or saving over them on accident (4-5 at a time, I like alts). A simple character based sub folder for saves would solve all of the confusion. I looked to mods but nothing out there that really works and most tend to wipe info rather than saving properly.

Currently, this is the best way to have multiple characters and keep them separate, even with multiple save for each character

It might be tool late for this now, but there is a way to use the character name for the save, I did not come up with this:

if you put a comma in your character's name, the save name will be everything after the comma.

I had an Orc named Ghom, Son of Frow... so all his saves are listed as "Son of Frow"

I started a new High Elf to check, and named him Kel, Mage of Summerset... his saves show up "Mage of Summerset"

Finally, I made an Argonian and just named him ", Bob"... sure enough, her saves are all named "Bob" (followed by the location & I assume number... can't see the whole thing)


...So, just a tip, if you want your savegame names to differentiate between your characters, put a comma in there, followed by something to identify the savegame.
