*ahem*

I haven't had any issues with save data being deleted. Quicksaves and autosaves will be though if you use those features.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!.........Classic!

*ahem* also...

No multiple character save issues here either, yet. The quick saves and auto-saves go away, but as long as I remember to perform a true save, no prob.

what the hell is a toon.

Gaming shorthand/slang for a character.

Used alot by World of Warcraft players, which is why you get all the people sniping back at people who use it.

Indeed; please don't call it a toon. Makes my head hurt.

i just use the console to name the saves of my different characters

This (with occasional backups to another folder elsewhere). :thumbsup:

What's all this talk about auto saves?

People don't manually save?

Just make a subfolder in the save folder and dump all the saves from your first character into it. If you want to go back just swap out. I have six active characters and just move saves back and forth from subfolders when i want to switch.

I recommend this too. This way the game can't save over your other characters saves as they're in a different folder.

This. As long as you keep your manuals saves up to date, you have nothing to worry about. From my experience it only overwrites your autosave.

Here is what you do;

Load the game with your first character..
Save the game with [New Save]
Make your new character..
