Starting back playing Skyrim after a year off: have ?'s

Post » Sat Jul 05, 2014 3:04 pm

Hi everyone, I haven't been around the Skyrim fo's for a while, so pardon my bad memory. When I last played I had a very high ranking character and made it all the way through the game. But after that, I made a new character because I just wanted to do another playthrough. Of course she was much lower rank, but she was the last character I played as.

I was hoping I could find my older strong character and play some with her......but I don't know how to find her. In the Skyrim menu only one person seems to appear. But I thought if I clicked on "NEW" it might show me both of my characters and I could just pick. But now I'm scared if I click "NEW" it will not reveal my 2 characters and will instead wipe everything clean. See my conflict? :D

Oh well If anyone can help that would be awesome! and thanks.

PS: I play on PC Windows 7 via steam...if that helps any.

New game makes a new save, it doesn't wipe your old saves.

Load game... shows your saves. If it's not there, then it's gone. :(

Did you by chance make a hard save of your old character? Clicking on "new" makes a new Hard Save.

It sounds like your new character's Autosaves replaced the old ones.
