Hello Everybody !

It was my biggest problem in Skyrim , all of my characters were deleted after 30 hours max.
It feels like the RP is broken , or I just don't feel right to play him/her , and it ends with all of my 40 characters ( more )..

Anyway , I found a solution !
All you have to do in order to make your characters more exciting , not to burn out , is to write a short journal for them !

And I know , many will say " Bah I have a life , It's boring , I'm lazy "
That's why , you should make it very short and simple , you need to re-read what you did in the game.

Here's a example for what I mean:

After you play the game , do the following:

Key Events ( Character name )

* Arrived in Skyrim , the execution began
* Got out of Helgen with the help of a dragon who attacked
* Went in the direction of Falkreath , cleared a bandit camp near the road.
* Got to Pinewatch , after much time got out with the treasures ( character became greedy ( example ))
* Went to Falkreath , got to the inn........

It's really simple , fast , and you will remember what your character did , this way you can stay focused on the character's aims and wants.

It helped me a lot , I hope it will help :D

I usually forget who my characters are and this is definitely a solution, but generally my own solution is to only play one character at a time until they "retire" and have completed their personal goals in skyrim.

My problem ( Hopefully gone now ) was that , I play the game , I go to sleep ( In real-life ) , I get back to Skyrim and all of the sudden I'm like " Hmm what do I do now ? " and after that I delete the character , Lol !

I usually have restartis in RPGs. Usually because I find an item or ability or neat trick or whatever that can't be utilizied by my current character so I start fantasising about a different build.

My solution this time around is to play 3 characters of different archtypes simultaneously. since they're all seperate archtypes I play through different content (although some content is identical.

At the end of the night I create 3 new saves at the top. one for each character then move all the saves made during play to a backup directory. Keeps it from being cluttered and easy to find the latest stave for a paritcular character

Glad you found a solution to your problem. I don't experience "re-start-itis" until my people get to level 30-something, and they start creaming most everything, even on master diff. But I think I've overcome it with my current sneak/assassin. I've fallen in love with that playstyle, and am determined to push her at least to level 50 (she's 42 now).
