I was wondering if anyone has replayed the game and can tell me if you lost your first game?  I plan on replaying the game after i have finished origins and DA:2, but i am afraid I will loose my female elven inquisitor as I really like her and still have some small quests left to play to be 100% finished. I know you can have more than one save file on the game, but from my experience it´s just when you save during playing, not with two different characters(?) so my question is:

Is it safe to press "new game" or will i loose everything from my first play?

If you're talking about DA:I, each new character you create has a separate save so it will not save over your previous character.

[Sunnie]

You can get to your other characters by selecting Load from the main menu, then at the bottom right select "Change Character". You will see a list of the different characters that you created on the left.

You mean lose, not loose. Please learn a language before using a language. Thank you.

If you never make mistakes, though, how will you learn? I don't think any one of use had perfect execution of the English language during our early use of the stuff. ;D Live and let live, no? The OP's post was legible, after all.

 

@Kristiinchy: You should be fine! The new saves won't even be on the same... page? as your first character's. Each character has their own "page" of save files, and you can switch between characters to view their savefiles separately. It's similar to Mass Effect, I think, if you're familiar. I don't even think it saves over autosaves or anything like that.

 

I have three characters in DA:I with around 15 saves for each, about 50 in total, and I never lost anything.

I've had 9 characters with multiple saves, you can press new game as much as you want, you won't lose anything

I will add to the Lilithor here though. The game has a limit to the number of total saves. You can have as many characters as you like with a capacity of like 250 saves total on PC and around that on Xbox One. I am not certain of older gen systems or PS4. I ran into this issue myself as I save frequently before major choices. I had to go into an old save and painstakingly delete my OCD from save files. Ouch, Bioware, ouch.

Xbox has 50 saves maximum, PS has 30.

[Lethaya]

PS4 changed up to 50, did it not? At least, I can have 50 I'm on PS4. XD

[caradoc2000]

Still a lot less than PC's 250.

[Lethaya]

Yeah, I hate the limitation myself... still, at least it isn't 30 anymore, I guess. >___>

OK. As a Finnish who tries to survive in 3 languages, I shouldn't make a single post. I will, just to spite you.

Better yet, ignore any language issues.

Qapla'!

If no one points out the mistake, they never learn. Also, that's incorrect, you meant to say "us" not "use"

You seem adept enough at the English language so my comment isn't directed towards you. Why make it so? You also don't want to spite me because I can spite much harder.

Thank you everyone! I now know it is safe for me to make a male inquisitor and romance Dorian haha.

And for the one telling me to learn a language before using it: omg grow up, one word wrong is not the end of the world.

Nothing wrong with friendly correction, but when you bring an attitude along with it, it discourages those who actually want to improve. (Don't blame you for being annoyed at "loose," though, as it's one of my biggest English pet peeves--among many others, lol.)

[Kantr]

Native english speaker here. I could have sworn loose was the correct one.

 

Monster20862's response was not the right one either way.

Nope! "Loose" is only the opposite of "tight," so you use it when something is loose, relaxed, wobbly, etc, or... potentially as an insult to someone. It is an adjective only, but its verb form is "loosen." (Adverb form is "loosely.")

 

I'm sure you've got the idea, but I'll finish in case others aren't certain of the difference.

 

"Lose" is the opposite of "win" and "find" and is the present tense of "lost," etc. It is a verb only and is synonymous with "misplace" or "fail." (Noun form of someone who loses would be "loser," obviously. Also, the only adjective form of "lose" is "lost," such as when one describes oneself as being lost, rather than having just lost. ("I am lost" vs "I lost") In the latter case, it is used as the past tense verb.)

 

Edit: I've typed the word "lost" too much, and now it doesn't even look like a word anymore, much less a word that's spelled correctly.

I have my very first game, it was bugged originally and thought my elf was a human, they've since patched that,. but it refuses to upload to the keep, but no you do not have to worry about making a new game as each character is saved independently in their own save folder.

I just face palmed my hand through my skull. I think I'll go to the hospital now.

It's not so much attitude as it is passive aggressive resentment and disappointment coupled with the millions of people who make very similar mistakes over and over again. And somehow no matter how I say it, I always come out the bad guy for correcting grammatical errors, so I've just stopped being polite. I'm like an old man whose seen generation after generation make the same mistakes over and over until all hope in ones species is gone and replaced by bitterness.

I just enjoy the mechanics and nuances of English a little too much.
