Okay, I'm probably gonna get crucified for asking this question

But I've been playing for around 20 hours on XBOX360 and have a level 16 character. I've now picked up the game on PC as well and I wanted to know if it was possible to import the save data from the 360 game into the PC version. Thus being able to continue the game on the PC with the same character, same quests, same gear etc.

I'm guessing its not possible, otherwise I'm sure someone would have mentioned this previously.

However I was wondering whether anything similar had been done with Oblivion, F3 or FNV through the use of some clever Modding ?

Any info that can be provided on this would be much appreciated...

Yeah, actually, I think this is doable. I've seen it mentioned before. Unfortunately I don't know how you'd go about it.

Well the fact that its possible is promising in itself... I was expecting a big fat NO !!!! lol

I've not heard of anybody doing this with Skyrim. (Although looking at the link above - worth a shot! With the later patches, that could break for obvious reasons).

That is totally awesome..... I'll give it a go tonight and I'll post my findings on here

Thanks for your help

It's all computer files. I imagine it would be possible.

Hey All,

Just confirming that I tried out sgt.gotee's suggestion last night and it works perfectly

For anyone else interested here's the quick rundown (copy and paste from original post on Reddit.com) :-

To copy an XBOX save file onto PC
1. Copy the save to your 360 Formatted USB Drive.
2. Open with Modio. Click open from device locate the save file and open it.
3. Click the file contents tab.
4. Extract savegame.dat rename to savegame.ess and put it into your Skyrim save game location.

It's also possible to import PC saves back onto XBOX360 by doing the following (I am yet to try this yet but numerous posts on reddit confirm this works):-

Copy a PC save file onto XBOX360
1. Rename pc save game to "Savegame.dat" exactly.
2. Open Modio and click "Open from a device." and then find your device and save game from Xbox. Any Skyrim save will do.
3. Go to File Contents and right click the Savegame.dat and hit Replace File, then find your pc save game to replace it with.
4. Go back to General File Info and hit "Rehash and Resign."
5. Press "Save to Device"
6. Now you can move the save to Xbox.
7. Now, it's important to know that the save game's name won't change from the original. Essentially the only way to know if you've done it right is to start up Skyrim and checking if your save is there, instead of the flash drive or hard drive. Good luck!

Its also possible to do this with Fallout New Vegas saves, exactly the same processes as above however you rename the savegame.dat to savegame.fos (I've tested this and again it works perfectly)

Hope that helps anyone else wanting to dual platform or even if you wanna be able to screen capture your character happy days !!!!
