Daedalus 88 Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 As the title says: Is it possible through savegame edition, to reset all the quests back to their original, non started state? ... as if you just started the character? I ask because I would like to export my Enhanced Edition Seraphim to the new version that just got out of said Enhanced Edition. I did make a backup copy of my char just in case, and I suppose, should the worst case come, that I could edit a fresh character from scratch for all the stuff that I need and simply export all the items that I need from various chest files (I think I would need two to export everything in a neat manner ... yeah ... I am kinda stocking too much at the moment granted ). Do you think it's something that's possible? Link to comment

Not feasible. It would be akin to trying to edit an SQL-base via hex editing. Link to comment

Although that is not possible, you may, with the use of character editor, create a replica of your character with the same name, same level and experience, and with no assigned skill and attribute points. You could then assign the skills and attributes the same way and start the game over from the beginning with no completed quests. Weapons, runes, jewelry, and armor could be downloaded from the download section to complete your ensemble and voila! Your wish is granted! 1 1 Link to comment
Popular Post Flix 5,116 Posted May 6, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 6, 2020 You can do this quite easily. Just make a typo in quest.txt (remove a comma from somewhere) and then load the character. Then exit, correct the typo, and restart the game. All quests for the given character & difficulty that you loaded earlier will be reset. I do this with test characters all the time. I would not recommend for a character you actually value and wish to play without any risk of bugs or weird behavior. Less insane is this: You may take a single-player character, start a LAN game. Because quest progress in Multiplayer cannot be saved with a Singleplayer character, everytime you venture into a LAN game all quests will be reset and ready to be repeated (unless they are flagged to not allow repeats). 3 Link to comment

Daedalus 88 Posted May 7, 2020 Author Share Posted May 7, 2020 thanks for the suggestions guys Question about the first and "risky" method: What about saving the character first by making a backup copy in case of weird behavior? Could that help? (the backup would be kept for "all eternity" if you get my meaning ;) ) 1 Link to comment

Could that help? Of course. A properly backed-up the character can always be restored in case of an emergency. 1 Link to comment
