So I just did a full reinstall and found out the character saves still were buggy, so I decided to delete and restart from scratch.

I'm not sure how far I want to recreate my characters exactly, or whether to use the console to quick start from where they left off.
This however is for others on all systems who suffered a glitch or deleted their saves ( or for one player their dog sat on the controller and deleted them ) and how they went about starting up again..

Did you create a new character completely, resart with the exact skills and performed the same tasks, did you try something new, did your quirks change, or did it just put you off the big O?

I've never had to restart, but if I did I certainly wouldn't recreate my character(s) exactly. If I was enjoying the class I was playing, I might make a character with a similar class, but I definitely wouldn't make the same character.
