swuber Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I wanted to make a new account(mage) and i started a new game. i had a 46 lvl nord as my main. so does the new game option overwrite the data of my main account? Don't say it does........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnkhAscendant Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 As long as you don't save over your previous save files your other character is safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swuber Posted September 8, 2012 Author Share Posted September 8, 2012 I have autosave on.. could it overwrite it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cthuloot Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Yes and no... If you only ever rely on your auto save and quick save, you can definitely overwrite it. However a quick fix, just load up your main, hit escape make a NEW save by clicking that option, then do whatever you want with your mage. So long as you don't over write that save you jsut made on your main, you're good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moraevik Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 If you're on a PC, just navigate to your save game folder, create a new folder with the name of your old character, and move all the save games for that character to the new folder. When you start your new character, the save games won't overwrite or even overlap in any way and you can always restore your old character from the "archive". I have eight of my previous sets of save games (out of twenty or so play-throughs) saved in this way so I can revisit those old characters at a later date.
