Know that feel, bro.

I think deleting my level 70-something character is what lead to my restartitis. That was probably a year ago.

That's an interesting idea. I usually only play 1 character at a time, so I just move their save files to different folders when I am done, or want to play another character.

As for the OP, yes. My first three incarnations of my first character have no save files. Only the third one has any pics. It was here when I found out how to move my save files

PS: I did lose some characters when I upgraded my PC and ended up deleting my "games drive" for the space to transfer files.
