Apparently there is no way to delete your character and start over In-Game.

Just watched a couple reviews, and one reviewer mentioned that there is no option to start over or delete your save. even after hitting NG+, mobs don't scale up at all and there isn't any way to start over.

Hopefully this is just their review copy. What a weird thing to exclude.

you can start a new game it overwrites your save

Can't we just go to our local files and delete it? I find it hard to believe that we cannot make a new save on top of the old one to erase it though.

Don't worry you can purchase the "new save" bundle for only $4.99!

That makes sense, that's what you did in the first game. hopefully that reviewer realized that if it's the case, but they were pretty adamant on there being no option in the menu for it.

It's cute when people do 0 research and then yell in to the void about things they know nothing about lol You get 1 save, you can start over at any time.

[Venirto]

Just to make sure I'm reading it correctly, are you saying there's only one save slot and you can't have multiple characters?

To be fair - there job is merely to "review" a product, not give a 100% accurate descriptor of what it is. They likely never played the first one - or even considered that selecting "New" would need to put the save somewhere.

Otherwise - sounds almost exactly how DD1 works. You had to start a new Hardcore save or a new Speedrun save for example; granted I don't recall if the Hardcore one also overwrote your base save, it was still mostly a one save system (as your speedrun save is deleted for example if you quit).

Of all the issues the original one had, they decided to keep the one save per account. Unbelievable... guess it's gonna be a copy/paste save games again.

So I can't have multiple characters with different builds? If true, this is bad design.

Correct. And your also correct again, it is bad design. Console players will need multiple profiles to circumvent this, and pc players will need to keep save backups.

You can just change vocations I'm pretty sure as stats change with vocation now. You also can probably just swap to a cat person/human if you want to play them in NG+.

Im playing right now (using the New Zealand trick on Xbox) and only "Load from Last Save""Load from Last Inn Rest""Options""Microsoft Store" options are available. I messed up my posture and there is ZERO apparent way to full start a new game. Deleting save file didnt help due to cloud sync or whatever

PCGamingWiki will have the path to your files when the game is out for a day.
