You're able to do that in the previous games. I don't see any reason it wouldn't be present in Inquisition, but no details whatsoever about the game have been revealed yet.

Please. It's a pain having to do this through settings. (Even though I wish I weren't limited to X characters for my games in the first place)

[Sideria]

Ah it's a console only problem it seems !

Really? How? The only way I've found to delete certain characters have been by manually searching for them in my PS3's saved files. Which takes forever.

Ah, my apologies, I assumed you were playing on PC. I used to play on console though I must be misremembering the deletion process. It does seem unecessarily complicated though (unless it's for some technical reason - I readily admit I'm no expert), so I certainly support a "delete career/character" option for console-users in the future.

They need to handle career management like they do in ME* where you have a "Career" actually as opposed to deleting all the save games for a character. Also, the silly limit of # of characters needs to go some of us share an XBOX with spouses who play the hades of of these games.

Is it possible to create new user accounts on the Xbox? That's a method I've used on the PS3 to circumvent the number limit.

It is possible, although some people like to just use the same account to pool acheivements or whatever.  Also, IIRC, the DLC is only available to the account that bought it, not the other accounts on the console.  (I only have one account, so I don't know.)

You can delete it on the console, just not in-game.

There've been at least two threads about this already, but that's perfectly fine. The more we bother the devs about this the better.....

Exactly, but it's a giant pain to do so.

Yeah, it can get a bit annoying having to do it through settings each time.

Why? System>Memory>DA2>Delete selected file.

In any other game:
open up the load game menu > hover over the character > press "X" to delete > confirm.
That's about 10 seconds, if that.

On Xbox:
"You have too many characters.  You must delete one before you can make another."  "****"  Exit the game> Right Bumper 5-6 times to get to the system tab> hit memory> wait approx 30-90 seconds for the list of devices to load for some unknown reason> choose hard drive> wait another 10 seconds> scroll down to DA2 or DAO> select it> wait another 5 seconds> scroll down to the save files in question> delete them one at a time (I usually wind up with 8-12 per character)> exit and return to the dashboard> wait another 5 seconds for it to load> Scroll back over to Home> restart the game, which takes about 30 seconds or so too.

Altogether we're talking at least three minutes to do something that should take 10 seconds.  I know of no other game that makes you do this.  Every other game I have played on Xbox has deleting of saves from within it.  It is a pain in the ass and there is no excuse.

I think I've been able to access DLC on multiple accounts. I'm not sure, though.

For me, the problem was that I couldn't play through Awakening and Witch Hunt with all the characters I created on one account as you can't transfer characters to new accounts.

If this topic has been posted before, I apologize - I can't seem to find it anywhere. Anyway, I'm someone who likes to make many new saves for each character I create, and since I tend to create a lot of characters, it makes the process of deleting characters I don't want to keep playing rather time consuming and complicated since I have to manually search for each individual save for that character.  The Mass Effect series had a neat feature where you could simply delete entire characters from the list of careers you want to load. I wondered if something similar could be made possible for Dragon Age 3?

I play Dragon Age on the XBox, so I relegate careers that I'm not using to USB sticks or Cloud storage to save on slots. I'm not sure if Origin has such a thing for PC, but it's something BioWare should consider (Cloud storage, not giving away USB sticks) so that people who want to put characters on the backburner for future playthroughs can.

[Twisted Path]

Yeah, first time I played Origins on the Xbox I didn't know about the character limit and that I would have to manually delete saves with the Xbox interface. I had made 3 different characters with the same name at the very beginning (started the game, played a bit, then decided I didn't like the way my character looked, re-rolled,) and going back months later trying to figure out which specific save files to delete was a huge pain.

The "bring up career > press X to delete character > confirm" system from the Mass Effect games was so much nicer.

[Kidd]

It's harder to identify which save is which in the console interface than in-game since the console's OS can't read the saves, either. You will have to go by filename and hope that info is enough.

It's so much easier - and quicker - to do this in-game like you can in ME.

[elfdwarf]

agree we need ingame delete save for console
the madness delete or not delete of dragon age origins

Some people already use the cloud storage for backup though....

I don't know how Xbox works, but at least on PS3 the DLC is available on all accounts. It's true that the achievements remain on one account and that you can't import characters from a different account, however.

I'm certain some Xbox games' DLC is account specific, but I've never tried it with Dragon Age so I'm not sure.

Another reason using another account is insufficient:  Sometimes it's fun to party chat with my friends while playing DA, and you can't do that on another account.

Honestly, since this DA game will be on a new engine, the devs will have to rework all the interface elements again anyway.  They've heard our complaints, and I have the feeling we'll get confirmation of a save deleting feature soon after they start releasing details and answering questions.
