This is what profiles are for. Make a new profile. This feature is already in the game.
Thank you for the direction, it is much appreciated, but that is not an obvious solution.
I would have no expectation that folk who buy this game on full release would know to do that, I certainly didn't.
Most games I have played do this automatically.
IMHO it would be more intuitive if BG3 separated Character saves automatically from the main save screen.
