LE Different way to handle save files.

[Beriallord]

I hate how all saved files for all your characters are on the list, and would prefer different characters save files would be kept separate like they were in Dragon Age Origins. I have made the mistake of saving over 2 different characters by mistake, and I don't see any possible way to keep me from doing it again. I just hate the way saved files are dealt with in this game. And its too easy to save over another character. I made a new character and saved over an old one I put a lot of work in and it really sucks. The mouse cursor jumps around in this game and often selects things you don't want which makes it even easier to save over another character, and they make you select a save location each time, or it just keeps creating new saves that pile up, and next thing you know you got 1000 saves. Just a really horrible system for save files, couldn't have been any worse.

 

Basically you select a character, then load the save, that way 2 different characters saved files can never get mixed up.

I always have the same problem. I know its not exactly what you are looking for, but if your on the PC you can always save using the console. It has been proven that using the console doesn't stop you from getting achievements. You can save using a custom name. Its saved me loads of times.

The command is: save "<name>"

I usually name it after my character.

 

Edit: I was looking at mods and I found this: http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=2119

 

Its an external program from the looks of it. Not sure if its something you would use or not.
