What's up with some character slots? : V

I'm sure this has been mentioned before but why not something as simple as separate character slots to prevent saving over previous characters. I'm pretty careful about not doing it but every once in awhile it does happen. Also maybe you could see your avatar for each character slot? Pretty simple stuff that would improve the game quite a bit in my opinion. Each character slot could hold multiple saves. Keeps things nice and clean.

As this change is doubtful to come for this game, see this for a way to organize saves based on your characters

If anyone cares, I figured it out... 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.

Thank you very much for the tip. I'll give it a shot. Maybe in the next elder scrolls they could do it tho?

All they need to do is go back to how it was done in Morrowind, where we could type in the name of our saves.

Well, if you are on console, just use different profiles. Still, i would very much like this added.
