LE Multiple Characters in the same savegame.

[Calebc789c]

Im suprised no one even thought of this mod idea before.

 

Basicly it allows you to create and control another character, you can customize and name the the new character

via the standard race menu and it will spawn in the same Savegame your playing in.

 

You can alternate control between your original character and the new character with a Toggle button, or, if there are multiple characters at one time, use a menu to select them.

 

You can select where to spawn the character at, usually any of the towns, though you can create a custom spawnpoint at any locations you previously discovered.

 

Anyone think this is a good mod idea? if it is, thanks for considering it.

do you mean switchable player characters? a situation like this: i play with a magic user, do this, do that... then, in the same "world", in the same time i change to another playable character, a warrior in another city then vice versa?

Yes, except its not switching one character with another, its using multiple characters around the game world that can be controlled separately via a Toggle feature or a menu. infact, it can also be possible to have both characters meeting in person.

 

Honestly im not sure If I was able to clarify it enough for people to get an proper imagination of the idea itself, so if anything dosent make sense, tell me.

sounds like great. reminds me of head over heels (far from rpg, an old c64 game where the two playable character meets sometimes eventually) and was an old rpg like that (two windows, two different characters). but... you know what should be good too for this mod? the possibility to temporary use one of your character as a companion (and you can always toggle who is the leader, who is the companion) - but that's another story.

 

as for your original idea - i think this would be a great mod! somehow has a crpg feel.

People request this over and over. There are numerous threads about it.

 

The Elders Scrolls games are hard-coded to be single player with only one playable character per savegame. It is such that it would probably be more effective to scrap Skyrim and build a new video game than it would be to try to make Skyrim do what you are thinking of.

 

Some games like Dragon Age, Baldur's Gate, or Knights of the Old Republic are designed to do something like what you describe, but those games are programmed in a totally different fashion.

 

It is sort of like if you own bicycle but decide that you don't want a human powered vehicle, you want something to make toast instead. You are going to have one tough time turning your bicycle into an electric toaster.

I you mean you yourself plaing as either character, there is a way, via the follower tweaks mod, where if you choose you r main as a vampire and then mod in your other characters as followers you could possess them, you would be able to level them but should have the affect you want
