Anyone having problems creating a second character?

Post » Thu Jun 14, 2012 8:20 pm

I am unable to create a second character,and when I try,it will only let me pick a race.Then.it sits there,and wont let me out,so I have to turn off my PC just to get free of it. I can go back to my original game however,and play that.But,what happens if I want to be a different race? It isnt a problem with my PCs system.I have a serious gaming machine,which will take on any and all games.I paid $60.00 for this game,and am really bummed now. Anyone else have this problem?

If you want to create a whole new toon and your machine's giving you trouble, there are plenty of uploaded save games to be found on the net. Just find an avatar whose look you like and download it. (: Or if it's just a new race you want to try on for size, you can always use the console command 'showracemenu' on your current character.

Never heard of that type of problem. I'd suggest moving all files in your save folder someplace else and try it to see if something odd happened and a save got corrupted. That can happen, but I've never heard it causing the problem you state.

If you still have the problem, post in the PC issues forum.

You have to restart your computer? So its a hard system lock, meaning... not Skyrim's fault, but a hardware problem.

Yeah... People that pay big bucks for a piece of equipment they know little about kinda ticks me off.
