You just use autosave/quicksaves?

AFAIK they would get overwritten by a new character, unless you are playing under a different Windows user account. However, you can move or otherwise backup your current saves before starting another game.


In XP the saves are in the folder

C:\Documents and Settings\ %username% \Local Settings\Application Data\Divinity 2\Savegames


or in Vista / Win 7

C:\Users\ %username% \AppData\Local\Divinity 2\Savegames


You may need to set Windows Explorer to show hidden files and folders (XP, Vista, Win 7).
