I think I just owned myself with oblivion

So I made a new character on oblivion with my old on on there.. I quicksaved on my new one and stuff and that seemed to have gotten rid of my old char quicksave is there any way I can get my old char save files back?

I mean I beat the game on it but I need to know please

Nope, he's gone.

You can easily have multiple saves, but there is only one Autosave and one Quicksave, each. So if you had manually saved from time to time, you're fine. If you relied totally on auto/quicksaves, your character might be lost. Well, maybe. The game also makes .BAK files of your saves from time to time, I believe. So if you go into your profile folder and find quicksave.bak and autosave.bak, you can rename them to .ess (I think?) files it will revert them to the previous version. If it made a backup of your new character over the old .bak, you're just totally screwed.

The point of quiksave is that you can't have more than one quiksave file. It is only meant to augment using regular saves, not to replace it... I would have though this was common knowledge.

This is what I've always hated about Bethesda (aside from their ton of bugs).Why can't they just put profiles, that way new char? Make a new profile so you wouldn't risk saving over another char and you won't have to scroll ALL tose saves just to find the char you feel like playing.
