Can we have multiple save file in Borderlands 2

Question

Can we have multiple save files in this game? I mean, can I start a new game while keeping my last character's save?

Or it's a game with only 1 save file and you have to live with it.

Answer 1

If you start a new game with a new character then you can use the "select character" option on the menu to go back to your first save file.

Answer 2

You can create multiple characters to start new games and continue each independently. You can use New Game to start a new character or Select Character to play a previously made character; all their progress is saved.

However, you can't go back and load previous saves of existing characters; only the latest save per character is ever kept by default so all progress made is kept, so progress is 100% linear. I guess some fudging around with save files could eliminate this, but Borderlands isn't meant to be one of those RPGs where you have 500 save files for one character.

Answer 3

As the others have said you can easily change characters in-game.
However you cannot change your profile(the profile that your badass rank is saved in) in-game.
If that is what you want to do then you need to manually move your savefiles to another folder and change the save files as you wish.
