Wish you could have multiple characters on the same save...

[Fairyhaven13]

I know this is basically impossible within all mechanics of the game, not to mention the lore, but sometimes when I'm playing I wish I could switch over to one of my other characters within the same save, Animal Crossing style (or just like most MMO games). I mean, one could be the Sole Survivor and the others could be random whatever people, but there's so much I want to do and build within the game, and it would be nice to build multiple player homes without it feeling like a waste (because I would only use one) or an extreme nuisance (if I separate resources to use more than one site, but then have to fast travel to all of them in order to use said resources...) I'd like to be able to, say, be one character who's player home is in Nuka World, then switch to one using a Goodneighbor home mod, so I can decorate both separately and actually use both of them, rather than switching between save files.

 

I get tired of either rebuilding the same settlements over and over or ignoring them to get on with the game. I like to focus on one file at a time and put all my creative energy into it, which means it's really hard for me to just open another file to work on a different character. I'd either get immediately bored or end up completely ignoring all the rest of my saves in my single-minded focus. It'd be great to have multiple characters who use multiple unique outfits and weapons I've collected and multiple homes I've made for them. It'd also be great to have them do separate quest lines and stories, so one could be more focused on Minutemen and one could be Railroad or BOS, without having to redo the entire game to get there.

 

Like I said, I know this is either completely impossible or so complicated that it would break the game to even try, it's just wishful thinking. I see most everyone else just use multiple saves to get different endings and different builds, but I've tried to do that, and it's just not for me. I hyper-focus and try to make everything unique each playthrough, so it ends up feeling like my other saves are competing with each other for whichever is most enjoyable, and inevitably I pick one and ignore the rest until the end of time. I'm proud of my Sanctuary build, not to mention many other builds I've made on the current playthrough, and it'd just be nice to have more characters pop in from time to time and use each resource to the fullest potential.

 

This probably isn't something anyone else thinks about, though. I think it's mostly because I'm artsy and keep looking at my mannequins and going "man I wish I could wear all six of these outfits at once..."
