Can I do this

[ell46]

I want to do another play through as a mage and I don't want to have to do all that boring stuff at the start... fade/Jowan etc, could I make a copy of the saved games folder from previous game to say my desktop delete the saves above where I want to start from and then move it back into my Character folder and use it to continue a new game, would that work?

You should create a cleaned save afterwards though. Just to make sure that nothing about that character in the older saves is still around in the character's database files.

 

Load the saved game. hit the esc key on the kyboard, or click the gear shaped icon at the top of the screen. then click new save, name is as something like new save clean, or w/e and then save it. Close down the game, and then when you restart it, load and play from the cleaned save.

 

the reason that you want to do this is because some mods get screwy about being able to detect whether an item has been given to the player or not. This seriously decreases the chances of stuff like that happening. (Unless you're in patch 1.03, which in itself blocks some mods from loading).

Thanks for the help I'll give it a try.
